The Italian Job (2003)

The Italian Job (2003) - Paramount Pictures

A tumblr dedicated to a great and underappreciated movie. Though often considered a remake of the 1969 film of the same name starring Michael Caine, this movie is merely based on the former, with a completely original plot.

Director: F. Gary Gray

Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Jason Statham, Mos Def, Seth Green, Donald Sutherland

500inayear:

We felt it was time for a heist film, and also something that both of us had seen a couple times so wouldn’t have to pay full attention. Therefore, we watched the remake of The Italian Job.

The Italian Job is about a group of thieves who work one final heist while in Italy. They succeed and…

Permalink itsfrantastic: The best part of any heist movie is the Getting the Gang Together Sequence. AM I RIGHT? Literally—the BEST part. I recently came across the information that one of my housemates had not seen Ocean’s 11. The heist parts of heist movies are okay, but seriously.  I saw Inception four times in movie theaters. This was an interesting experience. But the fourth time I saw it, I was admittedly bored with the majority of the film except for the part where they get the gang together. The Mombassa scene with Eames? Flawless. Testing Ariadne? Awesome. Except for the whole zero-gravity-hallway-fight-scene-Joseph-Gordon-Levitt-vest-OH-DEAR-GOD scene, I think the rest of the movie pales in comparison. Emotional depth? Fuck off, it’s about getting the gang together. The best parts of Ocean’s and The Italian Job is similarly the getting-people, vague-backstory part of the movie. There’s the part in Ocean’s 11 where they talk about Livingston Dell, their tech guy. “How’s his nerves?” George Clooney asks. “Better,” Brad Pitt answers. WHEN WERE HIS NERVES BAD BEFORE? Who the fuck cares? That’s the best part. More often than not, the getting-the-gang-together montage gives us information that we need to know without going into details about why these things are known by the main characters. No one fucking knows how any of the people in The Italian Job knows each other and that’s awesome. We know that Mos Def blew something up as a child! THAT’S AWESOME. Anyway, I really want to commit a heist so I’m never forced to have a real job. Applications can be submitted in the Ask Box.
