synopsis
The plan was flawless...the job was executed perfectly...the escape was clean. The only threat mastermind thief Charlie Croker never saw coming was from a member of his own crew. After pulling off an amazing gold bullion heist from a heavily guarded palazzo in Venice, Italy, Charlie and his gang -- inside man Steve, computer genius Lyle, wheelman Handsome Rob, explosives expert Left-Ear and veteran safecracker John Bridger -- can't believe it when one of them turns out to be a double-crosser. Now the job isn't about the payoff, it's about payback! Enter Stella, a beautiful nerves-of-steel safecracker, who joins Charlie and his former gang when they follow the backstabber to California, where they plan to re-steal the gold by tapping into Los Angeles' traffic control system, manipulating signals and creating one of the biggest traffic jams in L.A. history!

The object of my affection is the Mini Cooper, the car that steals every scene in The Italian Job, a tricked-out remake of a heist flick that was already flat and formulaic in 1969. Michael Caine -- driving a classic Mini -- led the plan to steal $4… Continued
