7/05: The Italian Job is for dimwits.

It's so boring as hell that I had dozed off many times. Hence, the movie should be called The Doze Job. The plot is retarded and predictable.

If Michael Caine's character wants to rob a huge sum amount of money, why does he hire idiots? Poor jokes are in abundance throughout, and many of them have me constantly saying, "I don't get it."

If there's supposed to be a football match between two countries, where are the spectators? Why is there one police car or motorcycle chasing the bandits? Should there be more of them? And what is the chanting of Bridger supposed to indicate? I haven't been able to stomach the drab in/exterior sets. Also, it's unbelievable to see many cars, especially the nice ones, be wrecked and then littered all over the beautiful mountainous terrain.

All in all, the British voted The Italian Job as one of the best movies made, and that alone tells me a lot about their intelligence.
