Michael Caine plans an audacious overseas robbery in this cheeky 1960s crime caper. Taking on the Italian authorities and the Mafia with nothing more than a rag-tag crew of likeable villains, a fleet of Mini Coopers and a lot of nerve and pluck, ex-con Caine and his gang set about pulling off a gold-bullion through the heaving traffic of Turin. The little cars are undoubtedly the stars of the show, and with its funky soundtrack, breezy confidence and memorable cliff-hanger ending this remains one of Britain's best-loved films.

    I give this film 3 stars because it has a slow start then it gets more and more thrilling but then at the end its a cliffhanger of what happens or not.
    My favourite person is charlie because he has just got out of prison for doing scams and now he is planning another scam and he pulls it off.

    At the beginning of this film, I didn't understand it because I did't interest me. Near the end, I started to like it because the ending was really interesting. The main character, Charie even though he was clever, he was a villain. The main outline of this film is about this group of men who are trying to steal gold and what happens along the way. The famous catchphrase for the film is "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors down." The film was so funny and I would recommend this film to people who like action and comedy films.

    This film was amazing. The screen shots were filmed very well. My favourite car had to me the long bus, because I loved the part when the people inside put car ramps on the back and the cars and drove up them. The ending was just the best part in the whole film because they were left on a cliff. Half on and half off. The men on it had to try and resuce the pile of gold because that was weighing them down. I think that they won't fall, they will stay on. My favourite characters were the men in the blue suits.

    I loved this so much because of the enthralling ending. The minis were superb. Who would of thought Mini's could do so many stunts. I enjoyed the part where the cars went up the ramp into the van. Is this possible? I also liked the part where the cars hid on the roof of the building. I think they managed to get the gold back at the end by being very brave and patient.

    At the start of the film, I couldn't get into it or understand it but near the end, I started to enjoy it and actually get it. The film is about a group of men but the leader called Charlie has got out of prison. As soon as he got out, he started a dodgy deal by planning to steal gold and asked people to help him. At the end of the film, it's a famous ending because the group of men got the gold but kept it in a van. The van is hanging on a cliff and you don't see what happens to the gold or the men. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a funny and action film.
