Kevin Maher The Times (UK) But it’s that stunning, and meaningful, cliff-edge finale that matters most. It is, in essence, a philosophical head-scratcher. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review John Mahoney The Hollywood Reporter What The Italian Job has to revive the viewer of the drowsy first 70 minutes is a whopping good third-act mini-car chase, one which will inevitably compared to the daredevil hill vaulting of Bullitt. Sep 4, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The brio and ambition of The Italian Job can't be doubted and Caine has enormous charisma... Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Tony Sloman Radio Times It's a mightily popular movie, helped immeasurably by the now-iconic status of Caine, the soundtrack from Quincy Jones, the editing by John Trumper, and the marvellous Coward, who masterminds the whole wheeze from his prison cell. Rated: 3/5 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Featuring a spectacular performance from Michael Caine, The Italian Job remains one of the best representations of British culture in the late 1960s. Rated: 4/5 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...works as neither an over-the-top comedy nor a gripping heist thriller. Rated: 2/4 Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Carl S 1960s humor not translating well. I love Michael Caine, but after the first 10 minutes or so I couldn't take the cheesiness any more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Audience Member It's alright for 1969, but I think the 2003 one was way better... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, só o Michael caine ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, e no final o ônibus estava na ponta da montanha da cair, e não mostrou se o ônibus caiu ou eles ficaram vivos, o filme cortou e mostrou os créditos com o ônibus na queima da montanha e foda-se, o filme tem cenas com mais diálogos do que cenas de ação, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Jonathan B THIS MOVIE IS BRILLIANT. It has a good plot, nice build up and the get away in the minis is awesome. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Audience Member I'm sorry but this movie is genuely so boring, i couldn't even finish it, i feel like this movie it's enjoyable if 1) you love heist genre, 2) you're british or 3) if you have the humor sense of a gen X or older. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Andy M An amazing film of its time. It has a slice of adventure, a touch of spice and a sprinkling of comedy. You won't see skin on skin intimacy or guns and extreme violence. This is a 'caper' movie, not an action flick. It builds the story up to the climactic finale and it's well worth watching. Some younger viewers may be disappointed at the lack of non-stop action but if they take the time to absorb the story, they'll come away wondering what Charlie Croker's 'Great Idea' would have been!.. and will be thinking about the ending long after they've seen the film. That's a rare thing in movies these days. Most are instantly forgetable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
