The Italian Job opening sequence

Like 'Se7en', we watched the opening sequence of the film 'The Italian Job'. It was quite similar to 'Se7en', using quick cuts and different images which gave small hints about the movie and genre.
1) Paramount logo appears - shows highly rated production company.
2) Images of Italian streets - highlights the setting of the film.
3) Images of maps and plans - suggests there could be a well planned heist
4) Title sequence ends after 2 minutes 21 seconds.
5) Introduces characters by using cross cutting between them.
Like in 'Se7en' this quick images hint about the type of film this is. We can tell from all the maps and intricate plans that this is clearly going to be a movie about a robbery or heist.
