Critics Consensus

Despite some iffy plot elements, The Italian Job succeeds in delivering an entertaining modern take on the original 1969 heist film, thanks to a charismatic cast.

Chicago Reader

This one offers some agreeably mindless fun in which the villains (including Norton) are truly villainous, the payback is satisfying in a purely infantile way, and the familiarity of everything is oddly comforting.

Itresembles a film made up on the fly. The cast, too, are strictly cut from comic books. Don't expect any unconventional endings either.

The support cast isn't much better. Jason Statham just repeats his Transporter role, while the permanently grumpy Norton has made it clear his participation was a result of contractual obligation...

An uninspired addition to the glamorised crime/revenge genre. The characters, the conflict, the car chases—it all just ticks along with little surprise or suspense. Watchable, but not memorable.

The pacing could've been a bit faster but nonetheless, this is a great movie with incredible stakes and Edward Norton as a great unremorseful villain. this movie was what I wanted ocean's eleven to be and this is so far the definitive best heist movie

For a modern remake of a classic this movie does a great job of elevating the action and even the stealing as well. I personally still love the classic more but as far as remakes go this one is worth watching.

Good movie. I've noticed that this movie is showing up on free TV. On Zap2it tv listings, I've noticed that whoever is reviewing movies is not just giving the intro setup of the movie, but often spoils the movie.Here is the blurb for The Italian Job: A master thief (Mark Wahlberg) and his crew plan to steal back a fortune in gold bullion after they lose it to a double-crossing gang member (Edward Norton). The betrayal of the gang by the Norton character happens half way through. So this is actually spoiling the movie. I wish they wouldn't do that anymore.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
