THE ITALIAN JOB is a jolly entertaining movie. With Michael Caine in the leading role as Charlie Croker, a elegant, charming and professional thief that's just been released from prison and is on a big heat. The heat shall take place in Italy in the city of Torino, together with a bunch of other low-time bandits they settle up for a very good heat where it's all about gold coming in to Torino. Three Morris Mini's in red, white and blue is the getaway cars...
The movie is very English and very fun all the way, and it can sort of remind of James Bond moods although this is more of a comedy, but on the other hand the movie isn't very funny either. Terrifying filmmaking with the big Italian woman who gets p***ed with fast-motion making her voice sound much more irritating.. The movie offers a lot of entertainment and is easy entertainment! But, the end is something of stupidity. The happy crew of bandits driving in a huge buss suddenly gets to excited and happy over the successed heist that the bussdriver takes a bad turn and the buss is suddenly hanging off a cliff! The bandits standing in the buss, and on the other side the gold are laying, and so Caine starts moving carefully towards the gold, and starts crouching, why? It really doesn't make his weight any easier!
Well, anyhow, the movie has got a very fine and very well-known classical car-chase with these three Mini's driving, a very funny scene. The movie has got a lots of splendid entertainment, but as a film, it's a bit low. STARS: 3/5
