Todd McCarthy
Rosenberg's sarcastic, tough-guy dialogue is full of lean-and-mean one-liners, and the superbly cast actors know how to milk them for all they're worth.
Very cool, but also very cold.
Peter Travers
They're 'the worst of the worst.' So's the movie.
Kenneth Turan
Numbing but not boring, it's finally more dispiriting than exhilarating, like a wild night of debauchery that leaves only a fearsome hangover for a souvenir.
Mick LaSalle
I kept thinking that if their budget were cut in half, they would have made a better picture. If the special effects department were put on a much stricter budget, the show might have had to develop the characters beyond caricature.
James Berardinelli
Sitting through this movie is like watching a dog running in circles chasing its tail -- the amusement factor dies quickly as the situation become repetitive.

The movie is essentially a series of quick setups, brisk dialogue and elaborate action sequences.
User reviews
This is an enjoyable movie from start to finish. I like the convicts descriptions, almost makes them look like super hero villains. The scene where they take over the plane is great. Nicholas Cage knows how to act different roles very well.
Awesome action movie Great movie and will probably always be one of my favorite action movies. Is it over the top and silly at times? Yes but it's got some of the best lines ever. I enjoy this movie every time I watch it. Don't know why I like it so much but I do I tell ya. I just doooooo!

With an ensemble all-star cast that also includes Edward Norton, Seth Green, Jason Statham, Mos Def, Franky G and Donald Sutherland, The Italian Job is "Hot!"
