Led by John Bridger (Donald Sutherland) and Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) a team is assembled for one last heist to steal $35 million in gold bars from a heavily guarded safe in Venice, Italy. After successfully pulling off the heist, a team member, Steve (Edward Norton), driven by greed and jealousy, arranges to take the gold for himself and eliminate the remaining members of the group. Thinking the team dead, he returns to Los Angeles with the gold. Charlie and the survivors of this betrayal follow Steve to L.A. to exact revenge against the traitor. Charlie enlists the help of John Bridger's daughter, Stella (Charlize Theron) - a professional safe cracker - to get revenge. With Stella and the hacking skills of Lyle (Seth Green), the explosives skills of "Left Ear" (Yasiin Bey), and the driving skills of "Handsome" Rob (Jason Statham) this new team plans and executes a daring heist that weaves through the freeways and subways of L.A.

| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelThis is a good ole heist film and worth the price of admission. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelKevin John BozelkaA 'robbers and robbers' film that fails to distinguish itself from any of the others. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA fast and furious action-adventure. The film's comedy counts for as much as the clever and risky ways in which Wahlberg and company go after the nasty Norton, who has holed up in a Bel-Air mansion with a world-class security system. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekThe chase scenes in The Italian Job are the most exciting ones I can remember seeing in a movie in a long time, probably because they're the only ones I can remember -- and that's saying something. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA suspenseful caper movie fueled as much by the charm of its leads as by the vehicles in the many chases. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisA strangely satisfying though completely preposterous caper movie. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerA thrill movie with its own brand of action dynamics and caper constructs which, at its best, creates some heart-thumping pursuits through earthbound space. |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellFeels more like an exercise. Or as the title suggests, a job. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickYou know why he's called Wahlberg? Because his range falls somewhere between a wall and an iceberg. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)A likable movie that is one lead actor away from being lots of fun. |
