John Mahoney 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 Robert Colvile Daily Telegraph (UK) Is there a film - certainly a British film - that delivers a greater infusion of pure joy than The Italian Job? Rated: 5/5 Jan 1, 2015 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 Stefan Pape Common Sense Media This is an easy yet always enjoyable way to spend your time -- and should remain so for decades to come.

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 Tibor F So slow I just stopped watching halfway. I usually scan forward or speed movies up, but literally nothing happens in this film. There is no comedy and no action. Avoid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Satin B Brilliant cast, shame to waste the cars 😢😢😢 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Robert R Could definitely be anchor bias on my part, but I think I prefer the F. Gary Gray version to this classic from 1969. That isn't to say I loathed watching this or anything like that. In fact, I think the final chase scene in this ultimately outshines anything I can remember from the remake. For me, though, it was the revenge element of the 2003 film that ultimately won me over to the side of the crooks in question. Here, you're given the more matter-of-fact approach — almost something you'd see out of a Bond sequel or something. The thief is working the eponymous heist because he's a thief, of course. It's what he does and he doesn't really need any better reason than that. I can totally see the appeal of it (especially for the era in question), but I know I'm far too overanalytically inclined to be satisfied with that reason and that alone. Throw in some occasionally dopey humor and that's most of why I think I'm where I'm at in relation to which version I like more. Still, I can't say the overall watch was bad for either.
