5/5
But it’s that stunning, and meaningful, cliff-edge finale that matters most. It is, in essence, a philosophical head-scratcher. Go to Full Review John Mahoney The Hollywood Reporter 09/04/2019
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. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 06/14/2019
4/5
The brio and ambition of The Italian Job can't be doubted and Caine has enormous charisma... Go to Full Review Tony Sloman Radio Times 03/04/2025
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies 02/15/2023

Featuring a spectacular performance from Michael Caine, The Italian Job remains one of the best representations of British culture in the late 1960s. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 10/25/2021

Michael T @RT57583964 Jun 4 This movie is boring, the version with Mark Wahlberg is much betterp See more Samuel C @RannyManny Dec 18 Genuinely the most amazing British classic which could no doubt be considered a national treasure at this point. While it may start slow for some it quickly pulls you in with an amazing blend of practical effects, real driving and comedy. See more Carl S @RT34058798 Jul 31 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. See more Rehan T @RT81460504 06/02/2025 It's alright for 1969, but I think the 2003 one was way better... See more thiago s @Thiagostone 03/23/2025 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. See more Jonathan B @TrainMasterX 08/11/2024 THIS MOVIE IS BRILLIANT. It has a good plot, nice build up and the get away in the minis is awesome. See more Read all reviews
