Disadvantage(s) of working(2) at a video store:
1. Watching movies one would not pick out
2. Forgetting the movie one just watched because you are working
3. Judging a movie poorly because one is distracted by work
"Still pretty?" Rourke
"Yeah...like cat piss in the snow." Stallone
Yep, another remake of a superior Michael Caine movie. Why am I watching it? See Disadvantage(s) 1. So let's look on the "bright side of life". Great to see Stallone as a hypermuscled sharp-dressed man. After watching the revival of Rourke (Mickey, not Cardinal) in Sin City it was a pleasure to watch him chew screen without prosthetics.
I think he took the role to beat up Rocky just once.
Stallone looked great throughout, but the screenwriter's just weren't up to updating the script. So let's review: Alfie, Michael Caine is better. Get Carter, Michael Caine is better. I have seen the new "Italian Job", but not the original. Jury still out, as Charlize Theron was very good in the "Italian Job" version 2. Time to make a request to the man for a copy of the original for the store...
