the italian job is a caper movie done by the numbers. riding on the back of every caper cliche and it rises to no particular heights and will be a movie footnote by about the end of the month. the biggest problem is that the italian job possesses no imagination at all. i have seen it all before and done better then. the acting is fine the cinematography is completely acceptable and but this film breaks absolutely no new ground. let tick off the cliches represent  old school criminal father figure and his protege  another gang member jealous of protege  a double cross  only bad guys use guns while good guy criminals do not have to  good criminals always outwit the bad guysand that about the first fifteen minutes. everything is so predictable. even the heist and car chase scenes and supposedly the highlight of the movie and seem pretty ordinary. this is especially true since they appeared in the trailers for the film so i already knew what to look for. for me and a caper film works only if it has an element of realism  that maybe and just maybe and it could be pulled off without relying on a deux ex machina or just because moments. parts of the italian job just throws that out the window and with computers doing things that computers can not do and the good guys not hitting anyone with their driving (especially going down the stairs) and not one single police car responding to street explosions and recklessly driven minis or even a low flying helicopter. must be a heck of a city for these things not to rate a response. the acting is passable and with the crew (seth green and jason stratham and mos def) being at least fun to watch. mark wahlberg is just too smarmy as the nice guy hero while charlize theron is about the only actor called on to display some kind of range. donald sutherland is a class act as always and shows up wahlberg deficiencies every moment they are together. overall this is a pretty uninteresting film. given the imdb ratings and it the girls that really love this film and which i can understand to some extent and but there are such better caper films out there  even the vapidness of the recent ocean eleven outshines the non event that is the italian job. spoilerat the conclusion and take a moment to think about what is going to happen to norton character. are we meant to be cheering the good guys for causing his demise and especially since it would appear to be long and painful. he do not deserve that and simpering creep that he was. end spoiler.
