Summary: One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Review: I like Nicholas Cage, but this movie has got to be one of the worst I've ever seen. The rating is so high for this movie because some guys got a little dumbstruck by a few fancy cars (and maybe Angelina Jolie) flitting across the screen. I wasn't expecting a "quality" film, but I thought I'd at least be entertained! This movie had no plot, no character development, and not even any good action!

Summary: Good Fast Ride!
Review: When this movie first came out I was expecting not to like it at all. I had no interest at all in seeing it. I have to admit I was really suprised. This film is the typical Hollywood summer movie. Big names,big budget,and loud! But the odd thing is, it's because of all those things, the movie works. It proves to be a fun fast wild and exciting ride. Nicolas Cage plays "Memphis" Raines, a retired car thief, you know, a business man. Who just happens to get drag into a situation where he has to help his younger brother,Kip Raines, played by Giovanni Ribisi. Kip manages to screw up a car heist, which nearly costs him his life. That is until his brother "Memphis" agrees to steal 60 cars in one night. Now as many might be able to tell, this isn't really a cinematic masterpiece. It really is far from it. It's a movie that will provide what I think it was meant to provide, some fun,trivial entertainment. It will actually hook you to the point where one really wants to find out what happens in the end. Robert Duvall, Delroy Lindo, and Angelina Jolie co-star in supporting roles and do impressive work none the less. This is perfect if you just want to relax and just be entertained. It's not "heavy". ... .

Summary: Car lovers Only!
Review: It is true that this story is made for specific crouds only - men, and car lovers. The extensive and impressive line of cars is definatly what kept the attention of the viewer, not to mention the sex-while-stealing-a-car scene, which is definatly one to remeber. But besides the beautiful cars, the movie has a very unrealistic, phoney plot: stealing 50 cars all in one night. The peak of ridiculousness reaches when Cage manages to escape poilce by flying many feet into the air over a huge truck. Take it from me - the cars are great, and Angelina Jolie is fabulous, but if your looking for a good story, look elsewhere!

Summary: Gone in 60 Seconds is a terrific film.
Review: I strongly reccomend this film. I thought the high-octane plot was superbly done as well as acted. The real star of the film: the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500, was a car-lover's dream. Go see this film if it is still playing near you. I can't wait till it's release on DVD.

Summary: This moves pretty fast, so don't miss it!
Review: Not a big fan of Cage, I was reluctant to see this, especially since I heard that Jolie was hardly in it, but I am glad I did. Just to let you know, I am basing this review solely on the theatrical version. The plot, although rehashed, is that Cage, an ex-car thief, is blackmailed into stealing a lot of cars, in a limited time, to save his brother's life. Mixed in with this is a cop (Lindo) and an ex-love (Jolie) to add different aspects into what I thought was just going to be a chase movie. Granted, the chase scenes are beautiful, especially the one with the Shelby Cobra. Car buffs will love this movie just for that, and the other beautiful cars that Cage must steal. All in all, I think anyone who likes action, should add this to their collection, even if the DVD has nothing extra on it.

Summary: WOW
Review: First of all what are you thinking if you decided not to go and see this movie, and as for all those other reviews saying it was poor ....well their just plain wrong. Second this film is not a chick flick, it is not a romantic comedy, its good,and with some of the best action and car chases well ever. This film deliveres the good and with extreme speed. Granted it goes a bit slow in the middle when the cars do start to go missing its non stop fun so if you missed your chance to see it on the big screen, Buy it Trust me you WILL NOT regret it.

Summary: It's not supposed to be a car chase film!
Review: First thing's first, if you watch this film expecting a car chase bonanza (like most of the rest of the world), you are going to be very disappointed.Don't get me wrong, this is a spectacular film, but all it takes is one trailer with a fast car being chased and everyone has their view of the film set in stone before they've even watched it. I for one am not one of those unlucky individuals. The basics of the plot are that Nic Cage's younger brother has taken on a job he can't really handle (after following in his brother's footsteps to his chosen carear), and when it all goes wrong, there's inevitably only one person left who can save the day, the now retired Cage with his legendary persona. They've got to steal 50 cars in just under a week, and as the prospect of a dead brother doesn't bode too well in Cage's now relatively docile and humble mind, he decides to save his li'l brother's hide. I know, another typical American tale of good vs bad is the picture you have drumming through your mind, but this film has sooooooo much more to offer. The soundtrack is the best I've heard this year, and the simple elegance with which the central stars perform consistently is rarely matched by holywood these days. And instead of opting to run out guns blazing (as is the norm), the gang (of young and old blood) opt for the more tactical aproach, and the only thing standing in their way is the fateful Elanor, an absolute beaut of a motor with which Cage has a bit of unfortunate history. Do they get there, don't they? You know the answer well before the time comes, but if you watch this film remembering it's a 2hr slice of entertainment, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Summary: Tyre smoking fun. Petrolheads only please.
Review: Okay, okay. This is NOT a movie critics movie. But if you want to dissengage your brain for a couple of hours and be thoroughly entertained (see as for every other Bruckheimer film)then keep reading... To get the most out of this film you really need to A: Like cars. A lot. B: Be a fan of Nick Cage movies If this is you then what can I say, more expensive metal than your average motorshow and car chases so off the wall that they out dukes of hazard the dukes of hazard. Personally I was commented on as grinning ear to ear throughout this entire film but that may just say more about me. Stylish and retro direction are bound to make this film an instant cult classic. The cast are generally well played, Cage is typically well cast as maybe being a little mad, Vinnie Jones is an absolute riot as the legitimate psycho and the de rigour totty (Jolie) is of serious "Wouldn't you just!..." calibre and can act to boot! Bonus. Okay so the plot may be weaker than cheap Dutch beer but the pace of the film more than makes up for it. I've seen it twice now and will probably wait a little while longer before buying it but if you haven't seen it - DO SO!

Summary: A car lovers fantasy.
Review: Personally I loved this movie, great cars, fast action, and a few scenes with Angelina Jolie. There could have been more scenes with her, but the movie's true stars were the incredible cars. This is the type of movie that a subscriber to Road and Track will love and a fan of quality foreign films will hate. If you love exciting action flicks and cool cars, watch this movie. If you are looking for a quality movie watch Gladiator or American Beauty, which are both great movies in the very sense of the word. Gone in 60 seconds isn't exactly Cage's best work, but it was one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a while.
