Every week I will watch a movie so this week the movie is The Italian Job(2003). You can check everything about the movie at http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0317740/. This film is released in 2003 so I expect some nice CGI scenes.

• Anticipation level - 2/4 - not much anticipation but still i am looking forward to it.
• IMDB rating : 6.9/10(23,886votes) - not bad for a action movie

• BBCi - Films(user rating) : 3.5/5(1125 votes)

Expected rating from me : 3.5/5

THE REVIEW

"It's not about the money. It's about the money."

4 out of 5 stars

I said it is expected this movie should get 3.5/5 and it got 4. Well done! I said earlier i would expect some CGI but director F. Gary Gray prefers not to use it. This is very rare, considering the fact that almost all action films nowadays have unrealistic CGI effects. The scenes are beautifully shot and i love that venice boat chase. This movie also has a good and unique introduction and the editing is almost flawless. Mark Wahlberg does very well in his acting as Charlie Croker. The rest of the cast is also very good. This is actully the remake of the 1969 version. I have not seen it so i cannot compare both movies. Instead of the old minis, this movie uses the new ones. The ending is a little disapointing as it is too rushed but it does not affect the movie much.Edward Norton is Steve in the movie and is a bad guy who like to shoot people but scared of people shooting at him. The minis scenes are excellent. All you see on screen are real, which is amazing. Overall, the ltalian Job is an entertaining action flick and i am certainly looking forward to its sequel , The Brazilian Job, which is coming soon.
