Errores:

Errores Reales: In the scene where Left-Ear is placing the explosives, he states that if the brass touches the side, they will be the last people each other will see. However, brass is a very poor conductor and would not be used in explosive applications. The best conductor, appropriately, would be gold.

Style but no substance

This is a disappointing production. The writers claim this was inspired by the original - I'm unimpressed with their inspiration - the original was far superior to this in many respects. Caine's 'Job had humor, a decent plot, top-notch actors and 3 terrific cars. The remake just has the cars (and, of course, the lovely Theron).

The original movie's ending was memorable - this movie's ending was tacky. The original was a classic crime caper, had a strong sense of national pride (red, white and blue and Union Jacks everywhere, a crime lord who puts Queen and country above all else), beautiful Italian vistas, lovable characters and, of course, the wonderful Michael Caine. This production has none of those things - it's clear the entire movie was contrived around an attempt to repeat the "Mini Cooper chase sequence" with no effort to make it believable.

In summary - these people shouldn't have bothered.
