The Italian Job
Charlie Croker pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed. Along with a drop-dead gorgeous safecracker, Croker and his team take off to re-steal the loot and end up in a pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal chase that careens up, down, above and below the streets of Los Angeles.
Critics Sentiment
Three Mini Coopers race through Los Angeles pursued by motorcycles
The heist plan gets complicated by neighbors and identity reveals
The film jumps from its lowest point during mid-film complications to spectacular highs with the subway truck drop and Mini Cooper chase finale.
The Italian Job maintains solid entertainment value throughout with strong opening and closing action sequences. The film peaks dramatically in its final act with the subway stunt and Mini Cooper chase that reviewers universally praised. While some middle sections drag slightly and Norton's villain feels underdeveloped, the overall package delivers the fun, fast-paced heist entertainment that audiences expected.
