Talk about a fun movie to watch! These good guy thieves had an ingenious plan to steal $35 million in gold bullion in Venice, Italy. They getaway with the gold until one of their own members double crosses them. They come up with an amazing plan to steal the gold back from the betrayer. The plan includes hacking into the L.A. traffic system and changing all the stoplights. I thought the way the story was told was brilliant. Okay, it's not entirely realistic, but what movie is? I haven't seen any action movie that is possible in real life.
The gang includes a computer hacking whiz, an explosives expert, a getaway driver (the guy from The Transporter), a criminal mastermind played by Mark Whalberg, and a beautiful safecracker played by Charlize Thereon.
At times, the movie is light-hearted, at other times, suspenseful. But, it was cool to watch the whole time. It's clever and witty.
My rating: A-, 90.
