Another good Summer movie that was very entertaining. The movie had a great story line and a VERY good cast with Donald Sutherland, Charlize Theron :D , Mark Whalberg, and Edward Norton.

It had a good mixture of comedy and action!

It is probably the best movie I have seen so far in this early summer CHECK IT OUT!

Saw this yesterday...fun little movie, loved Seth Green and the whole Napster joke...hilarious.

And now I want a Mini-Cooper as well, lol.

I enjoyed it...not sure it's the best movie I've seen this year, but it was just a fun ride.

Decent fluff - the supporting character sare atcually given more to do than the leads - I mean did Ed Norton have to be in this movie(actually - contractually he did) and Mark Walberg seemed to me like a cardboard cut-out speaking. Decent chase scenes and like I said the supporting characters were good - but I wouldn't pay top dollar for it - go see 28 Days Later or Finding Nemo for your money's worth.

When has Marky-Mark ever shown range as an actor?

Anyway, it was a fun film to watch. I enjoyed it and was entertained.

Whose seen the original Italian Job? Another great film, not needing to be remade. But Hollywood is STALE.

Its not an idictment on this version, I havent seen it, but the original is so cool. why bother with this one?

Edward Norton is why. The guy is a bad ass. But whats with the contract? I heard he tried to bail on this film but couldn't? Maybe he didnt think it was to good either?

i dont blame him for trying to bail, in comparison to his other films this one is pretty bad.

He agreed to do this movie so Paramount wouldn't fight Fox regarding him taking on Fight Club. Smart move by Norton.
