Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

Gone is 60 Seconds. This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. If u like cars, then you will most likely love this film. It features 2 great actors, by the names of Nicholas Cage and the hard man Vinnie Jones. The film is all about a group of people that have to boost 50 cars within a few days. If they do not make this dead line, then Nicholas Cages brother will die. Vinnie Jones does not really speak at all in the film, apart from at ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

MAKE this thief... this guy who got away... make him do this all on his own. Have his brother and his mother being physically tortured by this cruel bastard. Tormenting him throughout. Have Cage feel the clock. Feel every second... every minute of each of the days. Have so much going on... have the task be so impossible that EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW HE’S GONNA DO IT, WE STILL CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S GONNA DO IT! Jerry... did you happen to ever see the film ...
...is an exact blueprint for how to stack the odds. The pacing... the visceral feeling that there are not enough seconds to go from A to B. Also... Check out an old Rudolph Maté film from 1950 called D.O.A. starring Edmond O’Brien. Again... it’s an exact portrait of this type of film. Or HIGH “Fucking” NOON!!! However, let’s say you are only trying to make this be visceral entertainment and fun.... Check out SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Or Robert Mitchum’s ...

Thursday, June 8, 2000 GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS review Boy I really didn’t like GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS. In fact watching that film is alot like how I imagine the folks that hated ARMAGEDDON and THE ROCK felt.... though I loved those two films. I just felt every single movement of this film, as a matter of fact it’s alot like having your head encased in plaster. How do I know this? Well, because right before I went to see GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS, I was ...
...a proper head casting. BUT... GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS would be just like this... had it gone bad.... like so... The film begins, and you are kinda thinking... hmmm... this is nice. Pretty colors, but there’s a little bit of pain as they put the bald cap on and as your hair gets pulled a bit. This pain comes from the introduction of an actor that I feels defines the word terrible. GIOVANNI RIBISI I loathe this actor. I mean... every second that he appears ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

Gone In 60 Seconds is a must-see movie. True, it will not stir any deep emotions in it's barely-there story line, but the sound of those engines revving will definitely stir the emotions. This movie has to be seen simply for the cars and the car-chases. But, you may wonder, why would such talented actors star in this movie which really does not challenge their ability? Because we the viewers love to see them. All the actors are sexy, sassy, and ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

I went to my local Cinema as i do every Sunday night with a few friends to check out a new film. So we all decided to see "Gone in 60 Seconds". To cut a long story short, its a film about a group of people who have to steal 50 high performance and rare cars in one night!! Its sounds a tall order and in the film it is. The acting is all to a good standard, but the story line of the film is not that in depth and not to complex, which makes the the ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

This film in a remake of a 1970's film with nicholes cage playing a retiured car thefe. The story to it is one that will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you want more. The film is not all about getting chased by police it is about how family and friends stick together in a time of need. There are alot of cars in the film ond some that are wirth alot of money. As for Vinney Jones he has kept up the image of being a hard man in this film, ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

This film contained lots of exciting action, with many popular actors. Nick cage gave another brilliant performance and is proving to be an excellent actor with potentiol. For Vinnie lovers he also does a good job in the film, but you must know now that it would take longer for them to steal a car than for Vinnie to practice and speak his lines for the whole film. Whatever he said i am unsure, i was so shocked towards the end of an exciting movie ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

I had quite high hopes for this film going in. I went to see it because I'm quite a big fan of Nic Cage and Angelina Jolie, but to say it was a let down would be an understatement. It starts off well enough with a car being driven through the window of a showroom in the dead of night. After that however it just becomes tedious. Jerry Bruckheimer and Dominic Sena seemed to think it would be a good idea to film a lot of scenes opf Cars being nicked ...
...dialogue thrown in for good luck. However, what we are left with is a plot line that becomes tedious after 20 minutes or so and there is next to no character development. In Cage's defence however, he did the best with his material and he is a genuinely likable character. The cars are the bets thing about this film by a long shot and the film looks and sounds great in a big cinema. But it's all been done before and it's just getting a bit tired ...

...the background music suits it very nicely. I'd like it even more if only I hadn't gone with a friend as I might have got to have seen all of it interupted instead of ' ooohhh thats a nice car, what is it, I want one!' Yeah in your dreams. ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

When I heard Vinnie Jones was playing a mute car thief I just had to see this one. The fact that Nicholas Cage was also in it was just a bonus. This film is a about Nicholas Cage a retired car thief who has to make a comeback in order to save his brother, not the thickest plot in the world, I think the main aim of this film was to make a film about car theft or "boosting" as they call it. From start to finish this film is action packed and fast moving ...

...scene of Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 seconds at the end on that bridge. No one was impressed and no one believed it. Do you know what would happen to a cars suspension that even dropped off a 1 metre wall? It would fail. That car would be a gonner as would Nicolas Cage. Anyway, enough of the dissection of the film. Lets have a look at it. The film starts off with some guys stealing a Porsche from a dealership. Very nice until they get busted by their ...
...alive. Hence the name, gone in 60 seconds. Clever huh? Its a film of chase and more chase. Intregue and more intrigue. Its also a film of predictability. The task gets completed. The bad guys get caught and the cars go nowhere. The actual car that Cage does the jump in is meant to be his nemesis. His one car that always fails him. Does he get it to safety? Watch the film. Its packed full of Gorgeous cars, a gorgeous woman and a non speaking Vinny ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

Gone in 60 Seconds is a very simple plot. There isn't much of a storyline but it is so fast moving and exciting you really won't care in the slightest. The story is about a man who is a world-known expert in stealing cars. He retired after the police were on his back and his brother kind of took over. His brother got into a lot of crap and he was called in to save him. The guy wanting to kill his brother told him that if he delivered 50 specific ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

Gone in 60 Seconds is the typical summer blockbuster, no brains, but action trousers all the way. The thing is that it doesn't suffer because of this, it does what it sets out to do all along. The film starts off with a guy named Kip Raines who has tried and failed to steal 50 cars for a gangland boss, with time fast running out, Kip turns to his elder brother Randall Raines (played by Nicholas Cage), who used to be the best car thief around and ...
...left, Randall (nicknamed Memphis) has to steal the 50 cars in order to save his brother. Angelina Jolie (soon to be seen on the silver screen in Tomb Raider) appears as Sway, Memphis's ex-girlfriend and a car theif in her own right, alongside as many other criminal friends that Memphis can muster (including Vinnie Jones, who seems to be in everything these days but never seems to have anything to say in them) That's the plot in a nutshell, there ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

...I wanted realism I'd have gone to see another film... suffice to say, Cage is a reformed car thief whose brother has got in a lot deeper than he can handle with a Mr Big from abroad (Chris Eccleston, of BBC serial drama fame...) and Cage has to come out of retirement to fulfil his brother's tasks, namely stealing 50 cars in one night. He gets his old team back together for the job, and then the action really gets going as his nemesis, a copper played ...
...going on and tries to stop this night of grand larceny. Basically, if you liked Bruckheimer's other efforts, such as Con Air, you will love this, just seeing all those fabulous motors (which you know you will never get to drive!) is enough to put a big smile on your face. Excellent action, and thoroughly good fun! ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

The casting and all the billing / publicity surrounding this film will lead you to believe that it is a powerful, all action film with a fantastic story line. Unfortunately the film does not live up to this and quite frankly some of the plot is quite thin and quickly brushed over. For those buffs who want to see some of the fastest cars around the film does not disappoint. Nicholas Cage is once again superb as are his supporting cast but, if you ...
