Summary: Quite a surprise !
Review: I entered the theatre to watch "Gone in 60 seconds" with a female friend of mine, with no expectations at all. At first, we'd taken a glance at "Rules of engagement" to be completely repulsed by the opening shooting scenes. Quickly we left the hall to enter this film .We were satisfied to discover this film is exactly what we've wanted. We actually laughed during most of the film. It is a highly entertaining when taken lightly, as we did.

There is a plot, not as some folks suggested, there are great exotic car chases, a pretty lady, good guys , bad ones ,and to tell you the truth - you don't need more than that to have a blast for two hours.

Bottom line - buy it if you're interested in this kind of fun, you won't be dissapointed

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST CAR MOVIE EVER
Review: This is the greatest car movie of all time and it showcases one of the greatest cars of all time, the 1967 Shelby Mustang with a Cobra Jet 428 cubic inch motor. In the actual filming, non of the cars were real Shelby's, but look alikes for obvious reasons. This movie also showcases some amazing driving and stunts. The only thing that could have made this movie better would be if it included a cameo from Bullit, the 1968 Mustang GT from the movie by the same name with Steve Mcwean.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Fun
Review: This movie is great fun to watch. The characters are laughable and the dialogue preposterous, but I haven't had this much fun at the movies in a long time. It's always fun to watch an all-star cast in an action movie. The car chases are great, employing the typical MTV style cutting, but I think it works contrary to most critics. I think it's pathetic for critics to hate Gone in 60 Seconds for the same reason they love Charlies Angels. This is brainless entertainment, you won't take anything away from it, but you will get your money's worth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another one of those movies
Review: I like movies that do with cars and stuff, but I was hoping for it not to be so long and it was a little too long, because it could be easily limited to 1 hour, but dont get me wrong, it's a tight- a** movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ed Wood's movies are better than that!
Review: This is the very worst movie ever made. -Nicolas Cage isn't an actor, he's an impostor -the other actors are less than nothing -The cars chases are full of mistakes

Finally, HOLLYWOOD is a big trash today HA

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very silly, but very fun...
Review: Gone in 60 Seconds is your typical Jerry Bruckheimer summer action film. Those looking for a little bit of substance in their film need not apply to this one, audiences who want to grab a bag of popcorn and have some fun, will certainly get their money's worth out of this fast paced 'cartoon.'Calling this film a cartoon may sound like an insult, but with this film, that's not the case. With this movie, we get loads of colorful characters and some crazy stunt work. The story is one that you've seen a ton of times previously, and if you haven't it's still predictable. Randall "Memphis" Reins (Nicolas Cage) is an ex-car thief who once was 'the best' in the business. Reins is lured back into the business when his dopey brother (Giovanni Ribisi) gets on the bad side of a notorious criminal called 'The Carpenter'. Reins comes rushing, reluctantly at first, to little brother's aid and in order to have the little man's life spared, Reins, along with his brother, must steal 50 cars in 24 hours for 'The Carpenter' or both of them will be killed. There's some bits of Reins assembling the old gang he used to steal cars with including the sexy Angelina Jole-an ex-girlfriend with an attitude. Master actor Robert Duvall is also on hand as the theif's mechanic. Reins back on his old turf even makes a local gang very unhappy and just for good meausre, we get to see the car thieves dealing with these dopes in a few very amusing scenes. Another main character is a cop (Delroy Lindo) who sees Reins back in town and vows to catch him this time out. To this cop, Reins is like Moby Dick, and although this is nothing original, the cat and mouse, hide and seek game played between these two guys is also very fun.Gone in 60 Seconds is concerned less about plot and characters and more about cars and style. The thing about this movie though, is that for a movie about cars, we only get one car chase. Granted it is a long and exciting one toward the film's finish, but those expecting this one to be all chase will probably be disappointed. But, if you're just looking for two hours of escapist fun, this is a really great movie. There's nothing too special about any of it, but if you know what you're getting into, there's just a general aura of fun about the whole thing.This movie won't appeal to prudish viewers who believe themselves above a silly good time, fans of The Rock and Con Air should have a pretty decent idea of what they're getting into. Imagine those films, but sillier! Gone in 60 Seconds IS a fun movie, just turn off your common sense and enjoy the ride. I'll bet you have a good time.

Summary: Movie of the Century ! ! !
Review: For years, Jerry Bruckheimer has rocked the movie scene with smash hits such as Armageddon, Enemy of the State, and Top Gun. As we enter a new millennium of film-making (which, by the way, does not begin until 2001), Bruckheimer adds to the list of box office favorites with Gone in 60 Seconds and Coyote Ugly. Both movies are excellent...chock full of action, drama, comedy....you name it, it's in there. Gone in 60 Seconds is my personal favorite movie, mostly because I am an automobile fanatic. However, there is much more to the film than just cars. I admit that it was the cars and action that lured me to watch the film, but while watching the movie, I began to love it even more once I realized the underlying plot....brotherly love. There are some who feel that this movie has no plot; that it is merely a movie full of cars that go fast. Those people are obviously wrong and I believe that Jerry Bruckheimer himself would be outraged by such a claim. The movie has a deep plot, and with that plot matched with the right mixture of drama, action, comedy, and exotic cars, Gone in 60 Seconds has earned its place among the all-time greatest movies.

For those of you who feel the need to bash Gone in 60 Seconds, or those who think it has no plot, or those who think the movie is horrible, you should also have the guts to reveal yourself instead of hiding like the cowards you are.

If you have any questions about the movie, my review, or if you have a problem with what I stated here, feel free to email me at esaidi@vt.edu.

Summary: WOW!
Review: I'm a big fan of Bruckheimer's films. When I saw the trailer for GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS, Bruckhiemer's remake of the 60's classic, I was thrilled. So when June 9th rolled around and the new Bruckheimer flick hit theaters, I was there, and I loved every minute of it! The movie has a simplistic but addicting plot: Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) is a retired car thief who is trying to stay away from his old life of crime. His little brother Kip (Giovnni Ribisi), however, has grown up to be just like his hero, Memphis. Kip decides to to get involved with a dangerous boost, in which he must steal 50 top-of-the line cars. When Kip gets into trouble, his boss kidnaps him and finds Memphis. Memphis has two choices: Steal all 50 cars in 48 hours, or watch his brother die.

Memphis takes the Boost.

He assembles his old team: Otto (Robert Duvall), and expert on stripping down cars, Donny (Chi McBride), an old timer car thief, The Sphinx (Vinnie Jones), a rough and tough friend of memphis, and Switch (Angelina Jolie), Memphis's old girlfriend. After careful planning, Memphis and his friends start what could become the most impressive car boost ever.

The rest of the movie if packed with intense police chases, ear-shattering explosions, and oh so many beautiful cars! As with any Bruckheimer film, the viewer leaves the movie with a feeling of adrenaline, and Gone in Sixty Seconds is no exception.

The perfect mix of action, acting, music, and effects make this movie one to own. If your looking for a feel good movie with lots of eye candy, you've need look no further. Gone In Sixty Seconds is your movie.
