over the last few month and i have see a lot of review for the italian job and many of them negative . the gist of almost all of these pessimistic criticism be that and for all it modernistic bravado and high budget technology and the film doesn not have much substance where it count . look and people and it just a fun movie . this be the type of picture where youre suppose to sit back and relax and and just enjoy the steady move pace of the film . like ocean eleven ( 2001 ) and you can concentrate on the character and the plot at the same time without have to do much thinking ( lucky for some of u ) . grant and ocean be a good movie and but who care . the plot may have some hole ( there a huge one about 3/4 of the way through ) and the action may not be a gratifyingly gratuitous a the trailer make it out to be and and some of the dialogue may seem pointless and cheesy and but again and who really care . cool character and mini cooper and big explosion and charlize theron . what more do you want . i think it time to drop the fake roger ebert meet gene shalit act and enjoy yourself for once . oh and and another thing and whatever you do and do not compare it to the original because and to reiterate what f. gary gray have tell the press a million time and this be not a remake . my advice if youre interested in nit pick your way through a good humored and fun flick and do not even bother see the italian job . but and if you do not have a severe inferiority complex and or or want to see ed norton get jack by a bunch of ukranian and go ahead . the bottom line and my fellow moviegoer and be represent lighten up and have fun and dammit .
