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.

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.

Time Out

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.

This film reminded me of Sunday dinners at Nonna’s house — loud, messy, and full of love. The cast chemistry was spot-on, and the writing felt personal. A must-watch if you grew up in a big family.

This is the ultimate heist movie. An unstoppable cast, gorgeous scenery and fun special effects (car chases in LA subway.) Fantastic soundtrack. In my top ten favorite movies of all time.

The Italian Job is the ultimate blend of brains, brawn, and boldness. This modern remake takes the essence of the 1969 classic and infuses it with adrenaline-fueled action, witty humour, and a stellar ensemble cast. Mark Wahlberg leads the pack with charisma, while Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, and Jason Statham shine in their roles, each bringing their own flair to this impeccably crafted heist. The film’s iconic Mini Cooper chase scenes are an absolute thrill, combining precision driving with jaw-dropping stunts through the streets of Los Angeles. Add a clever script and a pulse-pounding soundtrack, and you have a heist film that hits every note perfectly.
