The Italian Job 2003

"If there's one thing I know, it's never to mess with mother nature, mother in-laws and, mother freaking Ukrainians."

Somehow I never had seen this one. I had seen bits and pieces, like the scenes with the mini's but other than that? No. So when I came across it on Netflix I thought well today will be the day that I will watch the Italian Job remake and it was alright. Nothing special at all. Always enjoy heists films so having 2 heists in this one was fun.

But something felt off, like very generic. Didn't like the nicknames, thought the Ukrainians would have a bigger role, wanted more of Skinny Pete, they underused Donald Sutherland and Charlize Theron, the ending was kind of boring? And damn Edward Norton was not even trying right?

Still I liked the car chases and the Venice heist but I expected more. The 2003 Italian Job won't be one that I will rewatch any time in the near future.
