Add some points if old cars ring your bell, I guess. Or not, because that might actually transform a sub-par caper movie into a bona fide horror film (a lot of said old cars are destroyed).

How exactly does the prison in this movie work and how did they end up on the roof of multiple buildings that aren’t anywhere near each other? The first half of the film is extremely boring. I stayed with it hoping the actual heist would make it worth it, but it was really disappointing.

I expected to love this but no dice. The muddled tone and grating humour did not work for me one bit. The dialogue is horrendous, nearly every line is repeated twice with another character saying "what?" in between. Even Michael Caine, who has always been great in every film I've seen him in, turns in an exaggerated, awkward performance that I'm sure is safe to blame on the director. Did the protagonist really need to sleep with 17 women in the first 15 minutes to sell us on him being "cool"?

A rollicking caper/car chase film that doesn't take itself too seriously. The setup is a little long for a comedy, and there were times in the car scenes that bordered on the totally unbelievable. Still, a fun popcorn movie.

It holds up both as a great time capsule for the late 60's spirit and as a fantastic action flick that rivals today's films. The editing, staging, and photography of the heist--especially the car chases--are all a testament to practical filmmaking. The film slightly lacks in a screenplay, however. There's no real villain, even with an attempt at the intro of the movie. And the hero's emotional motivation just isn't there. Still, it--and the funky soundtrack--are recommended.

Fun movie, a bit campy at times, though strangely some of the plot lines just faded into thin air (like the Mafia, and the geeky professor - what were they in the movie for, really?..)

Watch it for the chase or for its time-capsule status.direction is good, especially where the cars are involved, and it makes excellent use of beautiful Italian mountain roads.Jones gives a solid score to all the action, cycling between mellow (Matt Munro singing “On Days Like These” played during the opening drive is one of the most serene movie prologues) and rowdy appropriately. good humor in it, and even after 50 years I laughed at the “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors o

Uneven, at best: Paper thin and forgettable characters pepper a mediocre heist plot marked by either awkwardly blatant exposition (see the crew introductions) or virtually none at all (was the winding escape route part of the plan? Who knows)-yet there is some unique camerawork, and a scrumptiously classy soundtrack improves everything it touches (the tedious silent driving scenes later on only emphasize this). An unexpected and amusing cliffhanger ending (literally) ends things on a good note.
