Director: F. Gary Gray
Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Donald Sutherland, Edward Norton, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def
Charlie (Wahlberg) brings master-thief safe-cracker John (Sutherland) out of retirement for one last job- to steal over $30 million in gold bricks. It all goes off without a hitch, until afterwards when Steve (Norton) turns on his friends and kills John. The others fake their own deaths, and Steve changes his name and starts to spend his money.
A year later, Charlie and the gang find Steve in Los Angeles, and after recruiting John's daughter Stella (Theron), who has inherited her father's ability to crack safes, they set out to get back their money. For John's sake; it's not about the money, of course!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's crazy how Hollywood can get you to cheer for the thieves! We're not supposed to be on their side! But we totally are.
This one is pure fun! Mini Cooper car chases, lots of explosives, Jason Statham being all charming, what more could you want?
