A stylized cool portrayal that you'll need to add to your shelf

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2007)

I have to say this is one of my favorite heist movies through the ages. At first when I saw the DVD I was a little skeptical about watching "just another heist flick," but I have to admit I only watched it for the cast the first time. But the music combined with the element of a clean heist with no guns pulled by Charlie Croker's crew, with one exception for Steve, is a rare element that is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. If you want to see some decent action, stealing gold, a few laughs, and excellent acting on the behalf of the entire cast, then the Italian Job is a movie that will a movie that you'll be happy to watch when you feel like it again and again and again. "The Italian Job" is a great movie that some of these newer more violent movies could learn from that you don't need an excess of violence to make a movie good.
