In this action thriller, a master car thief has his skills pushed to the limit. Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) can steal practically any car that crosses his path. While he has done well in h... read more read more...is life of crime, he knows that there's a short future in theft, and he wants to get out of the business. But his retirement plans are interrupted when his younger brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) gets in trouble with a dangerous crime boss. To get his brother out of harm's way, Randall agrees to a profitable but risky scheme to steal 50 luxury cars in one night, with the help of several other car thieves, including Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie). A rival group of thieves is trying to pull the same stunt at the same time, and detectives Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and Drycoff (Timothy Olyphant) are trying to shut down both operations. Also starring Robert Duvall as Otto Halliwell, and Scott Caan as Tumbler, Gone in Sixty Seconds is a remake of the 1974 low-budget action hit of the same name, best remembered for a 40-minute chase scene in which 90 cars were destroyed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Remake of the film of the same name, Gone in 60 Seconds is an entertaining film, but lacks so much in everything else. The film delivers on the action, but it lacks any story depth, and a good cast (aside from a few actors, the talent here is awful). The film fails to capture the... read more essence of the original (which was a decent flick, but only worthy to watch for its chase scene that nearly spans the entire film). I felt that this film lacked anything good to truly make something extremely thrilling, and memorable. The problem I had with Gone in 60 Seconds was the acting, and story. The film isn't too thrilling and has a predictable plot that doesn't really satisfy. Like many reviewers have stated, the only great thing about the film is the cars. I love that Mustang in the film, and along with Bullitt's Ford Mustang GT390, its one of the sexiest Mustangs in film. But that's really where it ends. Gone in 60 seconds is simply a mess of a film with bad acting, and not even the car chase could save this picture. The film was entertaining, but it lacked too much substance to make it worth watching. I've seen the film when it first came out, and didn't think much of it. If you want the best car chase film, watch Bullitt instead. The remake for Gone in 60 Seconds is a failed attempt at delivering a wicked car chase film to the screen. This film could have been great, but with a lacking plot, bad acting and bad directing, the film is forgettable.

    Oh my, Jolie looks absolutely hideous in this movie. Anyways, this movie was badass. I loved those car chasing scenes. And the ending was as expected.

    Dominic Sena's auto heist film Gone in 60 Seconds speeds on by and lives up to its name.

    Based off of H.B. Halicki's film by the same name, the plot is direct and simple. Steal 50 cars in one night. The execution of the story is also unsurprising. Plan and execute. T

    ... read morehat sets the premise for the entire 110 minutes of run time.

    The plot is interesting in itself, but the characters that make up the car thieves are also amusing, despite a lack of depth for some of them. As for the heist, it is elaborate even though the story holds back on all the finer details of pulling it off; thus creating a more relaxing film to follow.

    The ensemble cast is a plus. Nicolas Cage successfully pulls off a legendary car thief. The beautiful Angelina Jolie cherishes every moment she has on screen, which to be honest isn't enough. Chi McBride and Robert Duvall also have some likable side characters.

    The amount of car chases is minimal considering the plot, but the characters wouldn't be professionals if they had to outrun cops for every stolen car; however, Gone in 60 Seconds wouldn't be as exciting without them, so put the pedal to the metal and enjoy the ride.

    Delroy Lindo. And Angeline Jolie's dreadish-blonde hair.

    Probably the only Cage movie I can sit through without cringing. Soundtrack was cool too.

    It might not be anything spectacular, but this is a really fun movie with some amazing car chases and great characters. It doesn't aspire to be anything but a car hiest movie and it does a very good job at being one. The plot is interesting and simple enough, but executed in a wa... read morey that makes it fun for everyone. I like that it has a very offbeat attitude, mainly due to Nicolas Cage being the very odd person he is. I think it's a lot better then the Fast and the Furious movies that came out not too long after, they were definitely influenced by this.

    As usual, I have to start my review of any Nick Cage movie by reiterating how much I dislike him as an actor. He simply plays the same exact person in every role I've seen him in, and that person is Nick Cage. I can't even tell if he's a good actor or not, because he never attemp... read morets to act.

    Anyway, I'll try to focus on the actual movie now. I actually liked it for what it was, and the car chases near the end of the movie were pretty exciting. Most of the actors seemed to be hamming it up and enjoying their extremely one-dimensional characters, so I won't be harsh on that aspect of the film. Angelina Jolie was absolutely wasted, though. How did they manage to make her look so unattractive? The phrase "crack whore" came to my mind several times during her scenes.

    In short, the story is just there to serve as an excuse to see the pretty cars, Nick Cage doesn't exert himself by any means, and I was mildly entertained.

    Fell asleep in 60 seconds. Car porn for chavs.

    An ex-car thief is forced out of retirement to help his brother steal 50 cars to order in one night. Brilliant cars and chases. Full of adrenalin. Great cast and plot. Nicolas Cage is cool.

In this film we learn that it takes 8,000 lbs. of pressure to crush a car but only one credited screenwriter (Scott Rosenberg) to pound out such a lame script. Full Review

Perfectly dreadful in every respect, this big-budget remake of the late H.B. Halicki's 1974 indie hit may well rep the nadir of the Bruckheimer (and Simpson) franchise, and doesn't even rate on the mo... Full Review

Sixty seconds is all a professional car thief needs to steal a car. It takes about the same time for a moviegoer to know he or she is watching a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. Full Review

A product that will delight car junkies and drive cinephiles to swear off film until fall.

Slow this movie down long enough for people to get up to buy popcorn, and they might change their minds and go straight home. Full Review

You can spend just about all of this movie's long 119-minute running time in the lobby ... and still know what's going on. Full Review

This should have been a fun movie: clean and tight and simple. Instead, it's an occasionally amusing comedy with the usual Bruckheimer nerve-plucking going on.

The movie doesn't just look and sound like a car commercial. It is a car commercial. Full Review

Has the energy of a dead battery.
