Very much of its time without ever looking too dated, The Italian Job embraces the classic caper set-up.

The gold is then stashed in a bus, and the predictable chase ensues.

The film is technically sophisticated and emotionally retarded.
March 12, 2004
Overrated heist film whose climactic chase scene is one of its few redeeming values.

Superior crime caper that's a little too pleased with itself, but only a little.

Worthy simply for Benny Hill and his love for "big ladies"

The cast does its stuff to good effect. Coward, as the highly patriotic, business-like master crook, brings all his imperturbable sense of irony and comedy to his role.
March 31, 2004
It's the sort of smoothly entertaining and slyly intelligent crowd-pleasing spectacle that will never go out of style.

As a modest fun movie, it works, much helped by deep casting contrasts and a nice sense of absurd proportions.

Is there a film - certainly a British film - that delivers a greater infusion of pure joy than The Italian Job?

Caine and Coward play a splendid game of verbal tennis, but by the final reel the laughs are lost in an anthology of dull and deafening car chases.

As a film, The Italian Job is hardly a work of unalloyed genius; but as a reminder of the time when Britannia really was cool, it's peerless.
