Summary: Exuberant
Review: Are you in the mood for a movie with deep, philosophical overtones? Want to watch a film that is a cerebral challenge, one sure to leave you intellectually exhausted by the end? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, then "Gone In 60 Seconds" is most assuredly not for you. At least, not in your present state of mind.However, if you want a movie that is just plain a lot of fun, one that has a few laughs & is well done, then you will enjoy this one. In fact, this is an almost sure-fire movie if you're searching for these attributes. This movie is the result of pouring together a flimsy plot, good direction & top echelon actors such as Nicholas Cage, Robert Duvall and Angelina Jolie, stir gently with a quality Trevor Rabin soundtrack, sprinkle in some of the most gorgeous sports cars in the world, then let it sit for 60 seconds. Afterwards, pop it into your DVD player and it's ready to watch! As is the case with every Bruckenheimer movie except "Armageddon," this production is very well done. It is also noteworthy to mention that "Gone In 60 Seconds" is NOT just one big, long chase scene, or a series of chase scenes one-after-the-other. By my count, there were only two car chase scenes; a brief one in the beginning & a dramatic one towards the end. Somehow, the film found ways to keep my attention in between times; remarkable for a movie that is almost exclusively about stealing cars. The main question that will probably decide whether people enjoy this movie does not have so much to do with the film itself as it does the genre. Can you appreciate a light-hearted, fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously? Do you prize the opportunity of seeing exotic cars like Ferrari, Lamborgini, Porsche & a vintage Mustang? If so, odds are you will enjoy this one. If not, you likely won't. It's that simple.

Review: This is the best movie i have seen in a long time. Hot woman, Hot cars and Hot Action == :-). If you crave excitement, woman, and cars you can get it all in this dvd. Not only do you get this kick butt movie you get bonuses that give you insite on how this movie was made showing the stunts they practise and etc. Also the Cult's Music video is on here. But don't take my word of advice watch and if you aint happy sue me.

Summary: Gone in 60 S4conds
Review: This movie was great. The cars made the whole movie but the story line was interesting. Nicholas Cage-Dallas was trying to help his brother Kip steal 50 cars in a limited amount of time. He is a former car thief gone straight who calls on his friends to help he and his brother complete this order in due time before Kip is exterminated by the bad guy. This movie is exciting and the fast cars make the action and adventure in this movie one not to pass up. Buy it!

Summary: NOT JUST A GUY MOVIE...
Review: This is a moderately entertaining, fast paced action film. Nicholas Cage gives an engaging performance as a reformed master car thief, known as "Memphis" Raines. Giovanni Ribisi convincingly plays his stupid, younger brother, Kip Raines. "Memphis" comes home to help his younger brother, Kip, who has followed in his older brother's footsteps, but is not as skilled at stealing cars. Having screwed up a major car boost, his employer, a sadistic, maniacal individual, will kill him, unless "Memphis" agrees to fulfil a contractual obligation of stealing fifty top of the line cars for which Kip's "boss" has made a commitment. The only glitch is that "Memphis" has a decidely short deadline in which to make his quota. For reasons that those who view the movie will immediately discern, "Memphis" agrees to this thankless task. He gets his old crew together and with his former nemesis, a hard nosed detective played by Delroy Lindo, in hot pursuit, the games begin. Look for lots of action, some great car chase sequences, and a bit of suspense. If you are looking for some mindless entertainment, then this film will fit the bill. Kick back your shoes, and hang on for the ride!

Summary: Guy Movie
Review: I guess I'd have to say this is a guy movie. Even though I really like Nicolas Cage, even he could not make this movie interesting for me. Based on the previews I really wanted to see this movie ... but I was disappointed when I finally did watch it. There are some good lines in it and Nicolas is good as always and the car chase scenes are fun to watch... but all in all I prefer a movie with more substance. So, my recommendation is to go ahead and see the movie... just don't expect any meat ... just watch it for the cars and the action. (and for Nicolas!)

Summary: neat cars-hot women!!!!
Review: ok, first i wanna say that this is a really good movie, but maybe it is more a movie for the male-viewers. the plot is very simple, but there are a lot of neat cars and sexy women, especially angelina jolie. also the ideas of how they steal the cars and how they prepare themselves is done pretty good. furthermore nicolas cage did again a really good job. anyway this is a decent movie, but if you like fast cars it is defenitely worth watching it.

Summary: '67 Mustang GT500??
Review: Very good car flick except for the Mustang (would have been more interesting with a COPO Camaro). Nickolas Cage proves that love for a brother is much more important than mere money. Angelina Jolie gets very jiggy with it too. That Mustang gets pretty roughed up in this flick. In the end Nick Cage gets the keys to the Mustang. Too bad it won't start.

Summary: Its all about the cars
Review: Years ago Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) was a legendary car booster. When he retired and left the Long Beach area auto theft went down fourty seven percent. His little brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) wants to be just like Randall and takes a job from a mobster who goes by the name of "The Carpenter". When Kip fumbles the boost Memphis is forced out of retirement and back into the life he thought he left behind. Randall then re-assembles his old crew and attempts to steal fifty cars in one night with the cops already on to them. You have to take this movie for what it is. Yes the dialoge is bad but it was still fun and very entertaining. What more do you expect from a Bruckhiemer film. This movie also has a great cast including Angelina Jolie, Delroy Lindo, Will Patton and Robert Duvall. However they were not used near enough. The only part I don't like is the jump scene on the bridge. The DVD has a decent amount on it including several featurettes and a trailer. The film is presented in widescreen DD 5.1 surround.

Summary: Worst...movie...ever.
Review: I could forgive the many sins of this movie if it would have just got the soundtrack right. But as it stands, every time an even halfway decent song starts it either stops immediately or gets ruined by the actors doing something. Some actors may have chemistry onscreen, but the only chemistry you'll see here is the type that occurs when you mix acids and bases - which is to say everything blows up. No one is believable in their role. No one is funny. No one is even likeable. How you can take actors of the caliber of Cage and Duval and with the beauty of Jolie and only completely get everything wrong is beyond me. Maybe if the actors had been ignored entirely with the focus being on the cars the film would have been bearable. But you never get even the slightest hint that anyone has any love for these cars. The only passable car scenes involve the Mustang and these aren't worth waiting an hour for. Others have suggested "Bullitt" and "Ronin" but I would recommend the original "Smokey and the Bandit". It at least has some chemistry between the actors, decent driving scenes, and it never takes itself seriously.

Summary: The title refers to the audience's collective will to live
Review: This is truly dismal film-making. You rent this video (yes, you rent it, do NOT buy it - why on earth would you do such a thing? No, rent it, and live to regret the experience, but do not squander your, and the world's, resources on something destined to be land-fill) as I was saying, you RENT this video in the hope of seeing heart-stopping Angelina Jolie and car chases (or vice versa with the adjective). But this director has no idea how to express love for cars, no idea how to film a car chase, is bereft of taste when it comes to compiling a soundtrack, and shows next to no interest in Angelina. The cars are, literally, all gone in sixty seconds. This film should be the ideal vehicle for iconography and obsession, instead it's a demonstration of ham-fisted editing and incompetent characterisation. Everyone in the film is meant to love cars, yet the film is devoid of passion. No passion, in any sense of the term. And yes, the script is terrible, the dialogue clumsy, the plot hackneyed, the characters cardboard, and yes, you might be able to overlook all this if the cars were the stars (plus Angelina (and why doesn't she have some attractive friends, too, for that matter?)). BUY Badlands or Bullitt and leave this stinker for the bargain bins of months to come.
