The original version of this movie has a chase involving mini cars, but 2003's remake involving Mini Coopers is nuts. They even make their way into the Los Angeles subway tunnels.

Add a CommentJust couldn’t get into it. Michael Caine has always had smarmy acting style which some would say is what makes it his work charming, but here it was a bit too much for me.
Action pack, good weekend movie.
It's refreshing to see a film without computerized special effects. For car enthusiasts, I would rate the 1969 original film "The Italian Job" (with Michael Caine) at 4.0 stars.
Great story and cast! I was entertained by this fun popcorn movie!!
Stunt drivers were fantastic with the power boats and Mini Cooper cars. There is no honor among thieves. Crooks stealing from crooks.
A good but rather formulaic heist film. The Chicago Reader rates it thumbs up, but also says "mindless fun." That truly describes this film.
Lots of action, but has a very predictable and plain story
This is an excellent movie worth watching. I had forgot I had seen in the past and I once again found it very entertaining.
This movie is full of action and has many twists. The characters are witty and find a way to get justice for what wronged them.
I love a good heist movie, and this one does not disappoint. It races along, gives you some good laughs, and keeps your attention the entire time.
