What's with all the downer comments? This is a classic! A brilliant film with great humor and cliffhanger of an ending! The best Fast and Furious film ever made!

Colourful and reasonably fun, but not that good. In the UK this movie seems to be on TV every single holiday, so there's a lot of nostalgic affection for it here.

A heist picture starring Michael Caine and a lot of comic talent, because despite a lot of action centered on car stunts, it's basically a comedy. My appreciation of Benny Hill's intrusions aside (turning small scenes into the kind of skits he was known for goes a bit overboard), it works rather well. Caine himself shows a real talent for creating fun, light moments, and his delivery is pitch perfect. Plus, who doesn't love the British mob kingpin holding court from prison? So an amusing affair well worth its reputation, which uses the Turin location well (in terms of car chase choreography - one of the great car chase movies in cinema history, surely), though perhaps the city's citizens might have a different opinion.

First hour for this is so boring, but the last half hour makes up for it. Entertaining and funny down the stretch. Boy, do they destroy a lot of cars in this, though.

Good for its time, but what a lousy end.

I put off watching this one for most of my life because I knew about the ending, only to then find that it was just a cherry on top of an already delicious cake. Boy oh boy, I did not expect it to be such a fun and wild ride from start to finish!

[4/10] OK. I was expecting a lot from this movie after all the reviews I read and heard.The so called humongous chase sure made the Italian police force look like some dumb group of retards, which totally pissed me off. Plus, this movie requires its audiences to turn off their brain sometimes and take some important events for granted. Nice plot but lacks emotion for the most part of it. Very bad film, though it's an original. [4/10]
