Usually it is easy to know what I do not like about a movie. This movie had a lot of big names in it and everyone else I knew from other movies. I love clever heist movies, I just dont know this movie was just very plain.

Maybe it was Mark Wahlberg? I personally find him very average as an actor, and any films that he's playing the lead in that hold my interest it's because of the plot not him.
This film isn't very interesting and as remake it's very lackluster and shouldn't have been made, but this was 11 years ago and H'wood has made it requirement to remake everything so maybe we'll see another reboot again?
I agree. There is something very bland and boring about Mark Wahlberg when he plays the good guy. To be fair, I haven't seen Max Payne or The Fighter and I did enjoy his supporting role in The Departed, but maybe he's not what everyone would call leading man material.
shareIf you liked him in The Departed, then run, don't walk, to see him in The Fighter. It's a brilliant movie, and both he and Christian Bale are incredible in it.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
This is a movie that I always seem to go years without acknowledging, then suddenly just be in a mood to watch, but always seem to drift off in the middle.
Remember when it came out and everything about it seemed to tick all the right boxes.... problem is, it just seemed to be a rip off Oceans 11 (and given Marky Mark up to this point he had really been known for being George Clooney screen buddy, always felt it was a "up you!" over dissing him for Matt Damon in Oceans) masquerading under the title of a classic movie.
Ya, it was pretty entertaining at first, and then later started to get kinda cheesy, so I lowered my rating.
