Synopsis:
The plan was flawless. The execution was perfect. Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed (by Edward Norton). Now he wants more than the job's payoff... he wants payback. Along with a beautiful safecracker (Charlize Theron), Croker and his team take off to re-steal the loot and end up in a pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal chase that careens up, down, above and below the streets of Los Angeles. This time it's personal!

An ordinary "damn, those little cars can really do nice tricks" movie and an average attempt for a remake of the classic movie.
Nothing really shines in this movie (other than the neat car tricks) - the acting is average (eve Norton!), and the script - well, that too.
The video transfer is good. There are no visible compression signs and the transfer's color palette is nicely balanced.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good, too. As you can expect from this kind of a movie, the surrounds are constantly active during the numerous car chase scenes.
The menus are nicely animated with sound.
The extras include a 45-minute behind the scenes featurette, 6 deleted scenes and a totally non-funny bloopers reel.
Bottom line - a "wham, bam, who gives a damn" movie. Rent it once, if you REALLY have to.
