Gone In 60 Seconds (1974) (DVD)

...and you pretty much have Gone in 60 Seconds. So it’s not the most film but it’s still enjoyable to watch. After all, both Payback and Bullitt are good films. Vinney Jones has been promoted as having a big part in this film, but he really doesn’t do all that much. What there is a lot of are car chases, shouting and good music (Including Jane’s Addiction). Now I’d a thought that this was a boys film, but the girl I went to see it with seemed to disagree ...

...is out to get him. GONE IN 60 SECONDS is a fun, action-packed movie featuring producer Jerry Bruckheimer's trademarks: a simple, heartfelt story, comedy, spectacular action, an excellent cast of stars and character actors, and an amazing car chase through the crowded streets of Los Angeles. This film is based on the cult classic 1974 movie of the same name, and it's a must-see for lovers of classic cars or action fans of any stripe. Dominic Sena, ...

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

I went to see Gone In 60 Seconds as I'd won some tickets from a local radio station. I wasn't that keen to tell you the truth, but I'm glad went now, just so I can advise others how not to waste thier time. The basic plot of this film invloves Cage, a once high flying car thief gone straight, having to resort to his bad old ways to save his brothers skin, and during this time he manages to get the girl too ( what a suprise ).Cage has to round up ...
...him, so recklessly miscast) Gone in 60 Seconds doesn't waste any time in getting into the full flow of car chases and screaching rubber, considering the plot, which isn't really up to much, time really flies by when you watch this movie. So your thinking is watching a gang steal cars for a full 118 minutes going to keep you interested, to be honest the answers 'no'. The only thing that kept me going was seeing pouting Angelina Joile, kick some ass ...

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

When I walked into the cinema I expected wall to wall car chases throughout and in that respect I was disappointed. This film is not all out action but at no point was I bored because it had a great storyline and a great cast. The cars are incredible and it is a shame they didn't show each of them going flat out with ten police cars in pursuit but you can't have it all. The final car chase scene is amazing with the stunts and filming perfect it is ...

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

I went to watch this film at the cinema not expecting anything particularly good...after all most of the reviews claimed it was ordinary at best. Before I explain why the reviews were well off the mark...a brief description of the plot. Nic Cage is a retired car thief... used to be the best; quit for unknown reasons living his old gang behind ... you know the score. Unfortunately when his little brother screws up he is required to steal 50 cars in ...
...The film follows the exploits of Cage reuniting his old team and working with his brothers young crew to steal the cars, all the while being hassled by the police. Okay so it doesn't sound much of a plot and, well to be fair, it isn't. There are several issues that are glibly flown over such as does anybody wonder if stealing cars is wrong. Also it is difficult to sympathise with Cage’s brother who comes across as a brat and you don’t ...

If you even remotely interested in cars and speed, and if you're feeling that cars should be public property...this is the movie for you. There is not a very nice or good storyline, but who cares if you see that Porsche 911 Carrera 4 blasting away through a shopwindow. The carchase with the Shelby is phenomenal, Cage puts in just the right oneliners, and the music and filming are excellent. The story is supposed to be poor, so that you can point ...
...is, or are, the actors. They all get outplayed by the cars. Only the old actors can compete with cars, it seems, like they learned in the 80's, and maybe because for them it has more passion and it isn't a symbol of statue, but more a symbol for freedom. Hmm, enough with the filosofy.. The producers must have played a couple of computer games themselves, because there are a lot of similarities in overviews, choice of cars, and storylines, with known ...

...where to start with this, Gone in 60 seconds it being about cars, I was not all that interested in it until my boyfriend told me about it, the main reason i sat to watch it was the main car and myself have the same name. I did sit and to be honest it was an excellent film, it had everything, action, good actors and actresses, cars to suit anyone interested in cars. It had an excellent story line and what i find most important in a film, it had an ...

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

Whilst the plot is not original (it is after all a remake!) and the car crashes are not exactly novel, there is something compelling about this film. In particular Vinnie Jones as "Sphinx" provides one of the best bits of entertainment. Presumed dumb, he utters one single line, that a near soliloquy, at the end of the film. Soccer's hard man, is the film's hard man. The storyline is a standard idea "You mission is... otherwise..." and as such is ...

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

'Gone in 60 Seconds' isn't big on character development or gritty realism, but if you like fast cars and want some escapist fun that'll keep your right foot on the floor all the way home from the cinema, this is the film for you. Nicholas Cage is fairly believable as the ex-car thief hero, despite the shortcomings of the plot. He's a hero rather than an anti-hero because he comes out of retirement to save his brother (Giovanni Ribisi) from being ...
...baddie, the genuinely menacing Christopher Eccleston. Unfortunately, Ribisi's character is so annoying that it is hard to see why Cage doesn't pull the crusher lever himself. The delicious Angelina Jolie has a small part as Cage's love interest, but disappointingly keeps her clothes on throughout. Vinnie Jones is, well, Vinnie Jones, but an amusing twist to his character is revealed at the end of the film. Enough of the actors. What's more important ...

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

First off - my opinion is blatantly biased because (1) I own a big American car, and (2) I am a petrol-head. I loved this film - I thought it had action, excitement and great perfomances from Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie. Okay, so the cars were the stars, but who cares? The plot was pretty thin, admittedly, but did hold everything together nicely. If you're into cars, give this film a look; if you're into American cars, well....you may be a little ...
...a few Mercedes were among the many non-Yanks in this film. But I got my money's worth out of a Pontiac Trans-Am GTA and the real star of the show, a Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra 500. The car chases were excellent, if a little far-fetched, but on the whole this was a good, adrenaline-pumping action film. Anyone who has seen the old 1970s film 'Vanishing Point' will love this. ...

...when Nicholas Cage has just gone flying of a ramp at 160 mph are incredible. The car just goes flying in mid air. Of course they had to slip in a love story somewhere including none other than Jolie and Cage to make it just that little more film like. Over all I would say that it is a very entertaining a fast paced film but it is not something I really think that I personally would go and see again. ...

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

This film has plenty of nice cars and lots of fast driving. Filled with action, it was roaring right from the start with loads of beautiful sports cars, some I can barely name. Quite a predictable film though, where a retired car thief has to cover up for his little brother's mistake, and has to steel 50 cars in one night. Pretty good job in my view. Quite a good film, and full of speed, action and more action. Engines roaring, and well and professional ...

...token gorgeous female. Well GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS lives up to all the Bruckheimer traits and more - it also has Vinny Jones in it! But - is it good? Nicholas Cage, so good in Con Air and Leaving Las Vegas, stars as Memphis Raines, a master car thief gone straight. He gets into the stealing game when his younger brother, Kip fails to deliver the goods after taking a contract to deliver 50 stolen luxury cars to the ever-so-bad guy Calitri. Christopher ...
...after a while you just feel like something is missing. Is their really a need for yet another clever, but largely pointless stunts, crashes etc. If you are an adrenaline junkie, you will probably enjoy Gone in 60 Seconds. Oh yeah...Vinny Jones - he was a useful footballer. ...
