surprisingly enjoyable movie a group of thief lead by mark wahlberg rob a gold safe in italy and thankfully for them the heist be successful and they get away with it without any big problem . before the group can celebrate however steve play by ed norton decide he want the gold all for himself and pull a cout de ta on the group and shoot one of the member . he and his accomplice leave think that the group be dead but luckily the group be not dead . a year later we get back into the story where the group have track down norton and decide to steal the gold back and spend the rest of the movie come up with plan to steal back their gold and settle a score . this be a surprise for me and it have all the making to be a typical forgettable summer movie but it be actually memorable and really fun to watch . what i like be how smart and well think out the plan in the movie be and and how the movie feel realistic . watch the trailer would make you think it be some mindless action movie but in fact there be only two action scene in the movie and they be all really well do . the latter action scene be a very long 20 min . scene that have one of the best car chase ever do . i like how real the chase be and how everything be do old school style without the aid of cgi . me personally i enjoy this car chase more than the cgi fill chase in matrix 2. i remember watch music video by director f. gary gray and always notice how well make they be and think he would make a great filmmaker and turn out i be right a always and he prove it here . can not wait to see what he do with the sequel . the actor do a decent job too with seth green be my favorite of the group . the other thing i love be the excellent score by john powell and ever since i hear his score for robot this year i have be a fan of him and pay close attention to his music and the man be really good . he do a great job of avoid all the typical summer action movie musical cliché and provide a very well do score . i haven not see the original that this be base on so i can not really say how well it stack up to that one . so yeah this be a great popcorn movie that actually have a brain unlike most of the summer movie crap that come out . have great character and be funny a hell and have a amazing score by john powell . if you love heist movie then you will love this one you know if i be in the group they would call me handsome mike .
