This film has a basic premise which is similar but it is not just a remake of the Michael Caine classic. The all star cast include Marky Mark Wahlberg (Boogie Nights, and lead in the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch) who stars as Charlie Croker. His crew of thieves are made up of Donald Sutherland (Cold Mountain), Jason Statham (Snatch), Seth Green (Buffy), Mos Def (Ford in the new Hitchhiker's Guide movie!) and Edward Norton (Fight Club). Sutherland stars as John Bridger, released from prison but still on parole. It used to be him in charge of whatever robberies were planned but now he has handed the baton to Charlie. Charlie has planned this heist to perfection, which is shown in action for us all to see. Using the talents of each member of his team to their best, the team take home the $35 million of gold bullion they were after with Bridger cracking the safe, Steve (Norton) providing access to it, Lyle (Green) using his computer skills to map the building perfectly, Left Ear (Def) – blowing up what is necessary and Handsome Rob (Statham) being a brilliant getaway driver.
The job goes perfectly but with one flaw – someone on the team decides that 35 million divided one way is a lot more and therefore at the earliest opportunity before everyone goes their separate ways they take the lot, killing Bridger in the process. One year later and we see Bridger's daughter Stella (South African stunner Charlize Theron) breaking into a safe for the police. She is self employed as a safe cracker, for legitimate businesses instead of the less than legitimate people her father did business with. She also drives an original Mini, like an insane rally driver. Croker meets with her after finding the person that stole the gold and killed her father and convinces her to join their team to get the money back.
And so begins the elaborately crafted scheme involving each persons special skills to get the money from the house in Philadelphia to their safe house. The gold is however, planned to be moved to a different location by its current owner, so a scheme is devised involving traffic lights, new shape Mini Coopers with added Va Va Voom and some great driving through the town centre.
