Taking this intrinsically British caper movie to Hollywood sounds like car-crash cinema in the worst possible sense. Yet, with a revised gold bullion robbery (now set in Venice and at the beginning of the film), a cast that glistens just as brightly, F Gary Gray's supercharged direction and a script that's smarter than it first appears, this is just as enjoyable a ride. Mark Wahlberg carries plenty of easy-going charm in the Michael Caine role, heading a criminal gang that's revved up for revenge after associate Edward Norton double-crosses them and absconds to Los Angeles with the booty. As the plan unfolds to burgle Norton's secure mansion, the story takes an unexpected detour, leading to a shrewd variation on its predecessor's traffic-jam manipulation. Norton's talents are wasted on such a sleazy, one-dimensional villain, but Charlize Theron is beguiling as a sassy safecracker and Seth Green has a ball as a paranoid hacker.
