The Italian Job
Genre: Action/Adventure
Summary: A band of thieves plus the daughter of their late leader steal back a gold horde to avenge his murder.
My Grade: 85%
Pros:
- Good plot, creative story and scheme.
- The concept did not exceed reality.
- Good characters, especially the random "Napster" and "Skinny Pete."
- Random cameo of Spiderman.
- The most obvious is that story is created for you to root for thieves. It seems to raise ethical questions, perhaps that maybe stealing is okay or good, by making one thief more evil than another. Sadly, we should be able to see that even though the characters we may root for are fun and victims, they are stealing and it's pretty wrong. I hate it when the good guys are bad!
- Not-brief-enough moment of indeceny requiring some fast-forwarding.
- Some unrealistic action typical of such movies- the chopper flying downtown at 30ft, the Mini/ bike interaction- small things like that.
