Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. (official distributor synopsis)

For me, it has a very slow pace at the beginning, so I found myself not really enjoying it and there were only a few moments where I had fun. Subsequently, the film picks up a better pace, the characters are livelier, and the film is more enjoyable, but it didn't really captivate me to be truly enthralled.
