The movie stars Michael Caine (The Cider House Rules, Hannah and Her Sisters), Noel Coward (The Astonished Heart), and Benny Hill (Yes that Benny Hill).
Caine takes over a plan to steal $3 million in gold, form the Italian mob (yeah steal from the mob lets do that) when a girlfriends father dies after planning the heist but gets killed before he can carry out the plan. Coward finances the plan from jail.
A few months ago I heard a movie reviewer say dont remake good movies remake bad ones. At first I thought this was a bad idea. If it failed once why do it over again. This movie proves that the movie review was right. This is a movie that needed to be remaid. Dont remake Dances with Wolves they got it right the first time. I rated this movie as a D.
This movie took every to get going, that was bad. It focused almost all on Caine that was bad. What made the remake so good was the sub characters are very interisting. The end of this movie stops mid sentence very bad idea (just like how The Last Airbender ended, very bad). There were some similitaries between the two movies enought to make it clear that the second was a retooling of the first.
My advice stick with the Walberg, Green, Theren, Stratham. Just a side note I find surreal. Seth Green takes over the role of Benny Hill that just blows my mind.
