Summary: What Were They Thinking?
Review: Easily the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Do not waste your time renting, buying, seeing at all cost. Lame action and lamer acting from 3 Oscar winners make this a must-NOT-see. It was never exciting, funny, believable - what were they thinking?

Summary: BAD MOVIE -- COOL CARS
Review: Is this movie very bad? Yes. Does have some great cars special effects? Yes, but not enough to buy it. This movie does have its moments if you have the whole surround sound set-up, but it the movie drags for about an hour before they start to steal the cars. Definitly a blockbuster movie if you need to see it, but even with the rental you might be dissapointed you spent the (money).

Summary: Rent but don't buy
Review: Nicholas Cage will always be one of my all time favorite actors. There are NOT many films that I swear "I'll never watch that again.". Gone in 60 seconds is unfortunately a film I never intend to watch again. At the bare minimum, I expected a scene where a group of car thieves chatted about the 'useless' high-priced security systems that the inexperienced consumer installed and how long it took to exploit their weaknesses. After the group was finished joking about the bad systems, they would discuss the effective deterrent systems. This scene would have been an excellent place to reveal where the creators got the idea for the name of the film "Gone in 60 seconds." After each poorly design theft-deterrent system was reviewed, the thieves could have kept repeating the mantra "Gone in 60 seconds". Then you could have had thieves lovingly describe the well-designed theft-deterrent systems, almost as if they were nemeses. This movie never dissects a theft. Instead the viewer is expected to be riveted simply by the sight of some nice cars. O.K. there is a big car chase that is decent, but that was missing something too. The big chase involved a car that was elevated to character status - the Shelby Cobra. This chase scene would have been much better if the audience had been schooled about the Cobra' abilities compared to that of an average cop car. This way the audience would be looking for these differences during the chase. The movie was just plain boring. At no time was I even remotely interested in any character. Don't waste your money buying this movie.

Summary: this car fanatic left deflated
Review: I'm surprised by the number of satisfied people reviewing this movie- especially those who went to see a good car chase flick, which this was obviously aspiring to be. But car chases make up maybe 7% it's length! What a ripoff for a film that markets itself as a high-octane petal stomper! I was expecting big budget driving excitement and was left with two decent sequences at the head and tail, but a whole lot of nothing inbetween- with no decent character development or story to give this movie substance, it needed to at least stink up the theater with the smell of burning rubber... and for me it fell miserably short.

Summary: Sick in 60 Seconds
Review: Como expected an exciting film about a stylish Ferarri thief living on the edge. What he got was a trailer-park yarn about a broken man who has to ask his haggard mommy for permission to steal cars for the purpose of rescuing his boozing knucklehead brother from an evil foreigner. Given that all the over-rated action of the film is premised on the salvation of this little crook, the plot was stupid to the point of insult. Finally, just as the film doesn't like foreign people, it doesn't like foreign cars. For the most part, the only engine that tacks above idle is a pre-Pinto Ford Mustang. I guess it remains for someone else to bring the aestheticism of exotic sports cars to the screen. But that's Como!

Summary: Just Roll With It- -Dandy Eye & Ear Candy
Review: My two teen sons asked me to view and review this flick as objectively as possible since my taste in movies tends to lean toward foreign, epic, mainstream or romance. The first thing I noticed is that this 30+something mom was tapping her feet and getting into things even as the beginning credits were rolling.

With that said, if you're looking for a film-piece of Shakespeare, stop here. Don't get me wrong, I adore some of the Bard. However, if you crave eye & ear candy as fine as a schweeet cherry Porsche's whineee--lock & load this DVD pronto. Ya see, "Gone In 60 Seconds" (a remake by action master Bruckhiemer) is all about the Benjamins baby--fast cars, sleazy bars, and heady crimson-lipped women. True, plots run a bit thin, though Memphis' (Cage) brotherly love and loyalties are heartening. His mad boosting, and driving skills to save his little bro's pitiful criminal life, are heart stopping.

I even found the clever illicit mix of hip-hop generation vs. old way thievery engaging; techno-popping-lock-tools, computer hacking scams joined with wit, common sense, and savviness allow these guys & gal (Ms. Lips Jolie) to get in and out of trouble faster than you can munch down any "skid-dles" slappy. Admiring professional car thieves may be perplexing, but hey, you're supposed to. Besides, there's an entire set of foreign bad buys to despise.

Humorous bits, (waiting on a dog's sh**), non-stop action, a myriad of exquisite cars, and one superb soundtrack including: War's "Lowrider", Moby's "Flower", The Cult's "Painted On My Heart", (including their video in the DVD enhancements), to mention a few---all allows you to vicariously put the pedal to the medal and be goneeeeee--in more ways than 60 seconds

Summary: EROTISMO A 140 MILLAS/HORA
Review: Cage es extremista, Angelina esta ardiente. La mejor combinacion para esta temporada, el resultado te tendra arañando el sofa.

Lo unico malo es la pobre actuación del torpe de su hermano.

Summary: Save your money
Review: OK- Disappointment does not begin to convey the point. Even heavy duty star quality with a supporting cast of fine exotic cars cannot save this movie. The story is grated cheese: a cheesy plot that has been so shred-up for Hollywood consumption that it might as well be baby food. I will not provide an appropriately defaming metaphor for the acting, only out of respect for Cage, Lindo, Jolie, Duvall, and Ribisi. I love action flicks, I love talented actors, I love cars. There was not enough of any of the above to make this movie worth watching. Not even the FX, or the pretty car shots were that notable. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS ONE FOR ANY REASON.
