The Italian Job Blu-ray puts F. Gary Gray's 2003 heist film, starring Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron, on a single Paramount disc in 1080p high definition.
You will receive a brand-new copy. The disc is region free, so it plays in any standard US Blu-ray player or game console.
The film is a loose remake of the 1969 British caper of the same name. Mark Wahlberg leads a crew of thieves out to recover stolen gold from a double-crossing former partner, played by Edward Norton.
The ensemble also includes Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def and Donald Sutherland. The Italian Job opened in US theaters on May 30, 2003, and earned about 176 million US dollars worldwide on a budget of around 60 million.
Mini Coopers play a starring role in the film's car chases, and featurettes such as "Mighty Minis" and "Driving School" show how the cast and crew prepared for those scenes.
This is Paramount's single-disc Blu-ray of the 2003 film. The soundtrack is Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than a lossless mix, and the disc carries these extras:
This is one of Paramount's early high-definition releases, and the 1080p picture is encoded in MPEG-2. Even so, its full 1080p resolution is a clear step up from the standard-definition DVD of the film. Our DVD vs Blu-ray guide explains what the upgrade means for picture and sound.
Keep the cars moving with The Fate of the Furious, see another Wahlberg film in the Three Kings Blu-ray, or try the tech thriller Swordfish. Read more about the film's production on Wikipedia.

Pretty Good PG-13 Caper
What it’s not: Bourne Identity style super-crashy car chases or Tarintino “I love fake blood and gunshot effects”.
What it is: a pretty good, old fashioned caper.
There’s lots of gold and a team of experts out to get it. Predictably, there’s a classic case of backstabbing amongst the thieves who did the job (I don’t think I’m spoiling anything here — any movie where the first 15 minutes are of a job going smoothly, you KNOW there’s going to be a doublecross to set off the next hour and a half of film). We then follow the team as they go on a mission of vengence both to reclaim their booty and to get even with their wayward associate.
The clever bit is the planning that goes into the operations. A lot of movies replace interesting plans with high speed car chases, giving us nothing but an action film. The Italian Job is a caper foremost and an action movie secondly, heralding back to the days when movies survived on the merit of the script rather than the special effects budget.
I enjoyed the movie a lot, it just goes to show that with the right cast and a good script, you don’t need to smash 6-figures worth of vehicles to make it worth watching.
