For me as an outsider meaning not English, I love the style so much. I love the mood and the weather and the English snarkyness. This film is so much fun, and it is far better than the 2003 version. I have to say this is one of my favorites od Michael Caine, whom I have a on again off again like with his performances. Great job as always guys. Hope all is well looking forward to next week lads. Take care
[Andy H] Very tempted to visit the 2003 remake after this. Its definitely dropped out of the zeitgeist far more than this has in comparison. Have a good one, Damien!
Definitely in my top 3 favourite films. Mainly due to watching it with my dad every year over Christmas. Definitely better made films. but sentimentality gets it on the list.
Maybe I am "spoiled" by the quality of modern films but seriously - this movie is really bad. "Italian Job" from 2003 has supergood plot, acting, action, humour and so on. Original movie is pretty much like a failed joke. Acting is awful ....overplayed or underplayed. I admit, that there are a few very good action scenes, but compared to 2003 movie its nothing. Plot is stupid. In 2003 movie there are ingenious plans to steal the gold, but in original there is simply a neanderthalean plot. Go and use bats. And probably the most awful thing is humour. There is not a single joke in this movie that made me laugh. It tries hard to be funny, but just isn't. They even casted Benny Hill in this thing to be funnier, but even Benny Hill Show is funnier than this catastrophy and that is an achievement. And then I see people saying that this thing is better than the 2003 version. People are you fucking serious?????????????
