Summary: Confused
Review: The Sticky doesn't really understand this movie. I mean what's the point in stealing all those bags of rice? You can just get them at your local supermarket.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fun, but could have been much better
Review: This is another one of the fast-paced Bruckheimer films. Too fast-paced at times. I kept noticing that during some of the more emotional scenes (between Cage and Ribisi or Cage and Jolie) that the quick-cut editing actually took away from the scene. It didn't give you enough time to invest yourself in these people's lives. And the script wasn't the problem, because the right words for the scene were there in the script. Had they lingered more on those scenes, the emotion could have come alive. They aren't given a chance to give the lines any meaning. It's sayyourlinesthenjumpoutandfindmorecars. I mean, come on, guys, it is okay to slow down once in a while. A couple of extra seconds aren't going to ruin your movie. In fact, they would probably make it better. You are hiring actors, you know. Let them act.

Otherwise, it is pretty much typical of the genre. Only this one has a bit more pedigree in terms of actors. Besides the aforementioned Oscar winners, you also have Robert Duvall on hand, as well as "Jude," "Elizabeth," and "Shallow Grave" star Christopher Eccleston, who seems to be making a career out of playing creepy guys. Come on, Chris, lighten up, do a comedy.

One of my favorites, Will Patton, who is always good for a quality performance, is here also, although he is miscast. And it's a good thing Delroy Lindo has perfected his mean look, which is really all he gets to do here.

In fact, Giovanni Ribisi is really the only person here who gives a performance of any notice (although Eccleston is sufficiently creepy, especially with that accent), and even his is one-note: the screw-up who refuses to recognize it.

All in all, though, it was a fun way to kill two hours. And the extras were, to say the least, educational regarding the special effects used here.

So, whether you're into the action, the cars, the actors, or just laughing at the movie in general, you will enjoy yourself--unless you're seeing it because you liked Eccleston's other films. In that case, you should probably skip it.

Summary: Forgive the pun but 'what a drag' .......
Review: How can anyone put Nicola Cage, Robert Duvall and Angelie Jolie in one film and make it boring? Well they certainly accoplished that here and I think the writers and the director had to work on it ... real hard ....

Most of the people in this movie are not only unlikeable but real stupid too .. and I mean dumb dumb dumb ... Give me a break, steal 50 specific model luxury cars in 4 days (actually like 24 hours) deliver them to the same pier for delivery to that Latin buyer while the car theft divion of LAPD is not only wise to your gig but sets up stake outs.

To make matters even stupider than dumb they put the cars into containers right on the dock in from of like 100's of longshoremen ... I mean the cars aren't even featured in this film except as passing references ....

This is one dumb dumb dumb flick ....

Summary: How to make grand theft auto really, really boring
Review: You should know going in: this movie is not packed with car chases. I'm not giving anything away to tell you that many, many cars are stolen in this movie. The problem is that most of them are driven away as quietly as possible--Cage & Crew are trying to steal (I think) 50 cars in one night without getting caught. So they take it slow and easy.

And that doesn't make much of a car-theft movie.

I expected a LOT more action than this flick delivered. Without action, a movie needs plot and characters, and this one doesn't have either.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: Although the idea of the movie is pretty corny, the acting and special effects more than make up for it. If you've never seen the movie, this is basically it: Memphis Raines(Cage) takes a boost consisting of stealing 50 cars in 3 days to save his brothers' life(Ribisi). While at the same time, a detective(Lindo),who has had a bad past with Raines, is trying to catch him in the act so he can 'put him away' for good. Sounds corny huh? Well, on paper, yes, but the actual movie is great, especially the scene on the shipyard. Watch it, you'll understand. Plus, it has all those cars, including a (drool) '67 Shelby GT 500. Overall, if you like action movies, cars, and action movies with cars, you'll definitely like this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Marvelous Ride
Review: When I first saw this movie I was amazed not only by the ending but about all the tricks that they used to "boost cars". Even though I'm not a big fan of Nicholas Cage, I am a fan of this movie.
Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi, and Robert Duvall also work wonders with the Movie. Memphis Raines (Cage) is a retired car theif who is brought out of retirement when his brother Kip(Ribisi) is in a lot of trouble. Placing his life, along w/ Kip's, Sway's (Jolie) and more to save his brother, but with the cops on their tails, can it be done?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ying Yang of DVDs
Review: The Ying Yang symbolizes perfect peace with all aspects of nature. Well, this DVD holds all the neccessary criteria to be called a five star movie. The action leads the pack while drama and comedy are mixed in. The musical scores inside are fantastic. The DVD is better over a VHS for its range of special features and brillantly chosen selected scenes. I'll leave to other reviewers to give you a summery and story line. If you were to ask me whether to buy it or not, I would say it was well worth the money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: a movie that lived up to its title
Review: 1 star for nic cage-i guess he owed someone a favor.1 star for the beautifull ms jolie-had free time on her hands.i should give the cult 1 star for a pretty good song.the movie itself got what it deserved,1 minute lifespan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty fast Mustang...hmmm
Review: A very good car flick. Using a COPO camaro would have been more convincing. A Chevy big block COPO is much quicker than a Mustang. Nicholas Cage proves that love for a brother is more important than mere money.

In the end Cage gets the keys to the Mustang. Too bad it won't start.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: written in sixty seconds
Review: did a four year old write this slop?? are they really gloryifing car thieves? I feel for Robert Duval for actually showing his face in this mess .. is he broke ? is n. Cage really that dumb?? everytime you think actors may have some brains a movie like this comes along and squashes the idea
