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.

Exciting heist film for teens and their families.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

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...

Rated: 2.5/5

...a seriously lazy would-be blockbuster that's nevertheless affable and breezy enough to warrant a mild recommendation.

Rated: 2.5/4

It is in Gray's spirited execution that such by-the-book formula makes for a brisk, slick entertainment hits the summer movie spot.

Una película donde muestra un plan maestro tiene que tener mas que la "magia del guión" , entretenido, impactante. Mantiene al borde del sillón.

The Italian Job is one film I love no matter what as my one word to describe it is ambitious. The remake does totally show more of the honor among thieves than the original did as it drills and detonates the charismatic thrills.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Compared with The Italian Job in from 1969 it's not good. Not compared to the old one it is a ok movie with some suspense.

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
