After a heist in Venice, Steve turns on his partners in crime, killing safecracker John Bridger and keeping all the gold for himself; the rest of the team, including leader Charlie Croker, driver Handsome Rob, explosives man Left Ear and tech geek Lyle, vows revenge; they enlist the help of Bridger's daughter, Stella, and plot to recover the gold from Steve's Los Angeles mansion.

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.

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.

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...

...a seriously lazy would-be blockbuster that's nevertheless affable and breezy enough to warrant a mild recommendation.

It is in Gray's spirited execution that such by-the-book formula makes for a brisk, slick entertainment hits the summer movie spot.

Very exciting and fun to watch throughout. Great story, a great cast that work well together. But what always bothered me is how the trailer spoils almost everything and very few surprises. If you haven’t seen either, watch the film and avoid the trailer and you’ll enjoy this roller coaster ride so much more.

When the cunning one sparks your rage, and the sweet revenge satisfies you enough - the movie wins big there! Nothing more required.

Not even remotely good compared to the original, frankly its such a shame that they took such an iconic name and ruined it with crappy modern writing.

Not nearly as good as the original but it's too bad.

Awful. It's aged terribly. The Jokes are all so sloppy and cringe, none of them hit. How pervy it is about women who aren't doing anything but they're job is creepy and in poor taste.
