T
here’s something refreshing about
how single-mindedly F. Gary Gray’s
heist movie accomplishes heightened
suspense without reaching for an epiphany
every five minutes, as so many action adven-
tures do.
The mastermind of the proposed heist,
Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg), comes off as
a decent guy — a thief, but a standup guy, nev-
ertheless. When the film opens, he and his
mentor, expert safecracker John Bridger
(Donald Sutherland), are in Venice ready to
pull off a caper to steal millions in gold bullion
from a heavily guarded palazzo.
driving the hell out of her new Mini Cooper.
After his first ride with Stella, Charlie knows
she will fit in with the guys. Stella says OK,
because a crucial element in the plan involves
racing through city streets, driving fast down
sidewalks, stairs and into narrow tunnels ordi-
narily used by mass transit.
The commercial brilliance of the movie is
in creating these eccentric characters, each of
whom is flawed, and giving them one thing to
do really well. Take computer nerd Lyle for
example. He hacks into the L.A. traffic control
system, where he overrides the automatic light
system and imposes massive gridlock at will.
On the other hand, Lyle has no social skills to
speak of, and he is a klutz on a motorcycle.
Wrench, the grease monkey, knows every-
thing about cars but nothing about women.
Likewise, Steve is way too cool and egocen-
tric to impress Stella. Handsome Rob jokes
around with her and wins her admiration for
his great driving skills. But Charlie knows

entertainment value.
Later, John isn’t stingy with praise for the
flawless execution of the job carried off by
Steve (Edward Norton), the insider; Lyle (Seth
Green), the computer hacker who claims to
have been the inventor of Napster; Handsome
Rob (Jason Statham), who gathers information;
and explosive master Left-Ear (Mos Def), who
doesn’t “do” dogs. But John saves his highest
praise for Charlie’s ability to bring such a crew
together and plan the heist in such great detail
that everything goes off beautifully.
Here’s the hitch: One guy wants all of the
gold, a nasty surprise for all the others, espe-
cially for the one among them who doesn’t
survive.
A year later In L.A., the survivors come to-
gether again under Charlie’s leadership. The
plan is to take back the gold from the double-
crosser, with the additional help of a genius car
guy, Wrench (Franky G). The high-tech safe
where the gold is stored presents a problem.
For that job, Charlie needs to persuade Stella
(Charlize Theron) to join them.
But Stella works with law enforcement to
break into safes for a living. She is good at her
job — ice-water cool, fast and self-reliant. She
won’t be drawn into becoming a thief for a
million or so in gold. But Stella’s passion is
enough to take his time so Stella will trust him.
He doesn’t rush her, which is the very charac-
teristic that makes him such a smart thief.
This is a real crowd-pleaser of a summer
movie. No great issues get resolved, but the
camaraderie among these likable thieves is
magnetic. They’re having fun. You’re having
fun.
However, the product placement here is
overkill. Not just the obvious MINIs from
BMW, tiny cars so cute they pass for charac-
ters in the movie. But the greed that motivates
some of the thieves provides too slick an op-
portunity to pass up. The film is replete with
luxury goods no one in the Saturday night
sneak preview crowd at Gateway could possi-
bly afford, such as an Astin Martin with all the
extras.
Few stunt doubles were used in the film.
The principal actors went through driving
school with stunt drivers and specialists,
where they learned to do such intricate moves
as “controlled slides, three-sixties, one-eight-
ies and reverse one-eighties,” according to
producer Donald De Line.
The Italian Job opens May 30 at
Cinemark. Highly recommended for its kick-
ass entertainment value.
