I agree with some of what you say, except I thought Marky-Mark was weaker than Ed Norton. Norton was wooden, but I don't buy Marky-Mark as some sort of genius. I liked the rest of the cast - sort of Oceans Eleven lite (and Oceans Eleven was very lite itself) I really liked the chase scenes. Good overall.

Marky, genius? Oh, god no. He just had a different kind of vibe going than he usually does, and it was charming.
Oceans 11 lite is a good summary - but there was something interesting going on in the pacing of the movie, which was very different, and was clearly intentional. Maybe it was just their homage to the '60s original, having a leisurely pace to it, and having reasonably cool "action" scenes without having the usual barage of action-movie images.
But Norton was a MUCH better villain than Andy Garcia.
