It's OK, although not as good as the original by a long way!

Average. Not a patch on the original. Doesn't even deserve the same title....

I wanted to hate this film for *******ising the original, but its actually quite good imo.
Dont expect it to have anything to do with the original film and you will be fine.

The only thing this film has in common is the title.

Oh, and a good plot, some nifty writing, some pretty reasonable performances by the cast and absolutely no sex, gratuitous violence or OTT bad language.

It's a great film, I think

i think it's ok, the bit at the beginning is really predictable, but one the whole, quite good. The original can never be beaten though can it!? it's a true classic!

It would have been a good film in its own right if it wasn't blatantly trying to rip off the Italian job in such a lame way I found it very frustrating that all they did was ripoff the names from the original
