Advantages: very entertaining

I decided to hire this out on video, after reading a lot of different opinions on the film, I thought I would see for myself.

Advantages: Amazing cars raced and chased!
Disadvantages: Simple storyline, not much character development.

I can't believe that I missed the opportunity to see this film in the cinema. It is definately one you have to watch on the big screen to fully appreciate it. I remember when it first came out, and I promised myself that I had to see it - unfortunately I didn't have a chance to while it was in the cinema so the other night I went down to Blockbusters and there it was! I knew which film I had to rent! I'm a big fan of Nicholas Cage - I just love ... Read review

Advantages: some good car chases
Disadvantages: bad script, weak villain

Whenever you hear the name Jerry Bruckheimer you know pretty much what you're going to get. Gone In 60 Seconds isn't a bad movie, it's just not a very good one. The basic plot is this. A retired car thief Memphis Raines is forced back into the game to steal 50 cars in three days to save the life of his brother. He assembles a crew of old school thiefs as well as enlisting the talents of some new blood. All the while the clock is ticking and they ... Read review

Advantages: Good action, lots of good shots and fast moving
Disadvantages: Little problems with the story

The title may be gone in 60 seconds, and though the film lasts a lot longer that that, the fast paced action may well make the time fly by. Nicholas Cage is Memphis Rains who is a car thief at the top of his profession. He is now retired, but is forced back into the business when the bond of brotherly love calls for him. His little brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) has got in a spot of bother when a job fails, so the bad guys take his hostage. For ... Read review

Advantages: makes your heart pound with excitement
Disadvantages: none that i can think of, really!

Gone in 60 seconds in my view was the blockbuster of 2000, which is saying something since it was up against some stiff competition. Nicolas Cage stars in this as Randolph "Memphis" Raines and was ones a notorious car thief in Longbeach. His little brother Kip has grown up and is now a car thief as Memphis once was. Kip takes a boost which to us people that aren’t car thieves means steal a lot of cars for an order from someone else. This ... Read review

I must admit, I went to see it purely because of the gorgeous cast, namely Angelina Jolie and Nick Cage, plus there are cool fast cars in it that I know darn well I will never get to drive! The storyline is basically about a kid who gets busted on a project to nick off with 50 cars. His boss threatens to kill him, but his retired car thief brother (Cage) reluctantly comes back to the trade to finish off the project his brother started. So... He ... Read review

Advantages: Great cast, cool cars, lots of fun.
Disadvantages: Not quite the action fest it shoulda been

...stars? To put it simply, Gone in 60 seconds still manages to be an incredibly fun movie. For all its shortcomings, it DOES entertain. Everything is played for laughs and this manages to be the films saving grace. Cage and Jolie do give the film some much needed charisma, Lindo relishes his role as the antagonised detective, McBride is in scene stealing form as the comic relief and our man Vinnie proves his sheer hardness with the minimal material ...

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

From the start this film has the air of a black comedy whilst still being one of the best action flicks I have seen in a long time. In this respect I am genetically biased, as this film must surely have been aimed at the male side of the cinema going audience. You have action in the form of car chases and amazing camera work, violence with Vinnie Jones, and the cream topping in the form of Angelina Jolie playing a bit of rough. The plot is a bit thin ...
