This is a 2003 movie. It has been 17 years now. After reading it, except that the method of stealing gold at the beginning is a bit new, it's hard to say.
The remake of "The Italian Job (1969)". I did not see it. It is said that the plot is the same.
Let me remember a few thoughts:
1. The method of stealing gold at the beginning is still a bit new. Especially the preparations before stealing gold. It's unexpected.
But considering the actual situation: such a heavy safe is still full of gold. When it falls into the water, it is estimated that there will be big waves on the surface of the water. The boat does not necessarily stop securely.
In addition, take weight into consideration. As soon as the safe fell, the ship drove off, which was not allowed in time. As a guard, it seems that in addition to chasing the disguised escape ship, he should still focus on searching below the surface of the water where the box fell. Of course, the movie also has a police patrol boat going to the scene to search. It's not a serious bug.
2. The scene in which Norton robbed gold against the water and killed his accomplices. I think there is a problem. With a gun in his hand, he shot and killed a car of people at close range. Except for the old man, none of them died. After falling into the water, shoot randomly. In the end, only the corpse of the old man appeared. As Norton, at this time, it was obvious that he should be killed. Without seeing everyone's bodies, one would never leave. Besides, from the lens, the water doesn't seem to be deep. It is also good to just wait for these people to drown.
3. The heroine is very beautiful. Is a master of unlocking. But he has never been a thief. This setting for drag racing behind, unlocking, and pretending to enter Norton's house is a bit inconsistent. How can a novice pretend to be so good and have such a high psychological quality. And it is said repeatedly in the movie that the Washington 10000 safe is so awesome. As a result, the heroine still opened it under tight time and tasks without auxiliary tools.
4. The villain is too weak. According to his method of selling gold. Such a large box of gold, I don't know that it will be sold until the year of the monkey. It's been exposed long ago. Later, the villain did nothing bad. With such a big box of gold, in the end, he was fighting alone! ! ! How can he rely on the strength of one person to guard this big box of gold without accident! ! !
5. The road exploded him and the vehicle fell. This idea is the same as the method of stealing the gold safe at the beginning. In this way, new ideas are lost. In addition, is the quality of this pavement so good? Saying that a rectangle collapsed, it was just a hole the size of a car. I don’t know if it can be achieved technically.
In any case, this is just a cool film. . . . After reading it, just relax. No need to dwell on details. .
