The Italian Job (3.2 of 5)
Really wanted to see this since last year when they were racing these BMW mini-s in the drainage ditch by my apartment. Deb and I originally thought it might be a commercial for the new mini, since we only saw one on the road up to that point. Once I found out it was for this movie, I was jazzed about seeing it. It was a fun but average chase flick. It still amazes me that seems so nice and pretty (Theron) can be such a horrible prima donna in real life. But anyways the highlight to this film is the running joke about Napster. The computer hacker of the film claims he invented it and it was stolen by his roommate-. what for it-Shawn Fanning-who makes a great cameo. Every time it comes up..i couldn't help but laugh more. Most of the other players were wasted, but that-s nothing new to the Transporters- Jason Statham . Camera work was good and the pacing was right on-but I was looking for something a little more thrilling-but that-s just me, I want the perfect 100 million film everytime.. Of course the fact that anti-war moron Ed Norton was in it, didn't make it any more better.
