Not as Good as the Original, but Still Fun

The Michael Caine classic gets an update and, inevitably, that loses some of the charm and wit of the original film in lieu of bigger and better action scenes. The action is furious and exciting (particularly the car chase sequence,) but the film ultimately is a by-the-numbers heist film. There are fun moments and the cast's charisma makes the whole thing a lot of fun, but the original is still superior.
