About The Italian Job

Charlie Croker pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed. Along with a drop-dead gorgeous safecracker, Croker and his team take off to re-steal the loot and end up in a pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal chase that careens up, down, above and below the streets of Los Angeles.

Our take on The Italian Job

F. Gary Gray's 2003 action-crime caper follows Charlie Croker, who pulls off the heist of a lifetime only to be double-crossed by one of his own. Teaming with a sharp safecracker and his crew, he sets out to re-steal the loot, leading to a chase that races above and below the streets of Los Angeles. This is glossy, breezy ensemble entertainment powered by clever planning, banter and vehicular set-pieces rather than heavy drama. It suits viewers who enjoy slick teamwork thrillers and don't mind a familiar revenge-and-payback shape. Fun, fast and undemanding, it's an easy pick for an unhurried evening.
