The Italian Job 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Paramount's glossy and smooth SteelBook will show some handling fingerprints. The front cover artwork features a classic promotional image for the
film depicting various characters from the film, most prominently Charlie and Stella, who are divided by two vertical yellow streaks. Cast names Mark
Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, and Edward Norton appear top left in white while the film's title appears in white and yellow bottom right. Much of the
perimeter is black which offers a nice contrast to the yellow. The only other color splash seen is Stella's blue jeans. The rear panel is yellow with some
black horizontal swaths cutting through with the text "Get in. Get out. Get even." in yellow lettering. Some Mini Coopers are seen bottom center driving
towards the viewer, and a blurry helicopter appears top right. The spine is black with the film's title in white and yellow center. A Paramount logo
appears at the top in white.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a yellow-dominant background with black and yellow-tinted character
portraits scattered across both sides. Key cast are highlighted with prominence; secondary characters are relegated to smaller background portraits.

The Italian Job 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
This is a nice SteelBook. The coloring is excellent and the image dynamics are pleasing. The film is solid and the new UHD presentation is a solid step
forward from the very old Blu-ray. Recommended.
