Summary: Great Movie, Not a Great Blu-Ray
Comment: The Blu-Ray version of this movie is disappointing, while the movie itself is incredible. The story, acting, etc. are all very good, and keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. However, having just recently picked up the Blu-Ray release, I would advise to stay clear until it is re-released.
At many points in the movie, there is a lot of visible grain, a result of over-sharpening of the picture in the transfer. Furthermore, the audio quality is only lossy Dolby Digital, instead of the DTS promised on the exterior of the box. If you aren't a videophile or audiophile this disk may prove just fine, and an enjoyable Blu-Ray experience. However, if picture and audio quality are extremely important to you, I'd advise you to wait until a re-release.

Summary: The Italian Job
Comment: I saw part of the movie on televison and did not know when I would be able to see the ending. Good movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 2.5 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
Wooden performances by the protagonist Wahlberg and antagonist Norton (who by his own admission had no interest in doing the film) overcome a sometimes clever updating of 1969's The Italian Job; it's a fun enough watch but not a memorable film.

Summary: BELISSIMO
Comment: MY HUSBAND AND I SAW THE ITALIAN JOB ON BIG SCREEN AND WAS BLOWN AWAY. I BOUGHT IT ON VHS( OLD SCHOOL) AND WATCHED IT AGAIN IN THE COMFORT OF MY HOME. I DECIDED TO PURCHASE IT ON DVD AND WAS AMAZED AT HOW FAST AND INEXPENSIVE AMAZON WAS. QUALITY WAS GREAT. I WATCHED IT THE DAY IT ARRIVED. THIS FILM IS FANTASTIC. THE ACTION IS THRILLING, THE ACTING SUPERB. I'M A BIG FAN OF MARK WAHLBERG AND CHARLIZE THERON. I'M ECSTATIC TO HAVE THIS MOVIE IN MY COLLECTION.
SINCERLY,
BRENDA MORAJKA

Summary: I will probably watch it again
Comment: A bunch of thieves steal a lot of gold but they get double-crossed and the rest of the movie is the double-crossed thieves working hard at double-crossing the 'bad' thief guy with help from the not-a-thief daughter of the daddy-thief (a good guy) who got wasted during the violent phase of the initial double-crossing. This is good because the daughter is Charlize Theron and she's always a pretty woman.
Why would those who stole a ton of gold be 'good' but the guy who betrayed them was 'bad'... I'm not so sure I understand but... whatever. There are maybe a couple more plot twists but I'm not going to spoil anyone the pleasure.
The main attraction is the Mini race - the Mini is a British-made car that's small but spunky - but I didn't find it too exciting. Another attraction is a hacker person who disrupts traffic in LA. There is also a not so fast speed boats race in Venice.
That's about it.
I can't believe I'm giving this movie 3 stars but, the fact is that, after I watched this movie on TV a couple of years ago and I decided it was not a top-of-the-line flick, I still bought the Blu-ray from Amazon (pre-owned). Chances are, I will watch it again some day when I have nothing else better to do so, there is some value in it.
