here be spoiler recently release from jail and croker ( caine ) take a job from an old recently kill friend . he visit a jailed but not hinder crime lord and assemble a gang . the goal be a big shipment of gold deliver in torino . and how be they go to do this . by create the mother of all traffic jam . now and maybe i do this the wrong way around . i saw the remake ( of 2003 ) and think it to be very good . naturally i want to see the original and a the original usually be good than sequel and prequels and remake . now and that may have be my error and a the original do not come close to live up to my expectation . if you should watch only one italian job and choose the new one . now why do i think that . first and in my opinion this be a movie about a heist . the thrill be to see a fantastic plan take form and then see it pull of and usually with some complication come along the way . now this movie start out good and with the presentation of the goal of the job and the gold . but then it just go silly . the preparation be outright dull and with the exception of some silly attempt to be funny . then the actual heist go off without the slight complication nor suspense and they just do it . big disappointment . then there be a lot of very disturb plot hole and unmotivated scene and just annoy fact . i could give a lot of example and but will make do with a few . not be a criminal myself and i can not be sure and but the gang seem very unprofessional and be cranky like baby without enough sleep . now that do not matter a the police be as stupid a could be . they seem to give up just because the criminal close a door . and they seem not aware of how many exit ( that you could drive a car out of ) a public church have . in addition they do not seem to get suspicious when a know mafia bos trail the shipment of gold by two meter . and be do the mafia go then and they just vanish from the plot . then there be the fabled car chase . be a big part of the movie it take place in most place a car can be able to drive and except road ( yeah i know and there be some ) . the police just manage to tag one police car after the three mini and and maybe a motorcycle . and this be always so and whatever stunt the mini do to avoid the police and there miraculously be always one and only one police car behind them . that with the exception when they get to the big motorway and load the mini into the bus . then there be absolutely no traffic at all and not even go the other direction . ( and why do they throw of the track they use load the mini clearly expose how they try to escape ) . so and there be never any suspense that they should get catch . and while pretty spectacular and why do they drive on the roof of the arena . i guess it be a way for the movie to show off a bit and but it be completely over shadow by the stupidness of it . and why do they throw the mini off clearly tell everyone which route they try to escape . and how do the crime lord get the news that they steal the gold while they be still make their get away ( cellphone . ) . and finally and there be the end ( completely unnecessary have the gang have an ounce of competence ) and brake most physical law there be and that we do not get to see the end of . they should have die you know . so . a surprisingly weak movie . see the new one . negative .
