I just watched this. I was expecting more action with more car chases. The one at the end was absolutely ridiculous. It has a very strong cast, but the movie just isn’t that good. I thought the funniest part was at the end when Vinnie Jones actually speaks.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) is a cocky young car thief working with a crew to steal 50 cars for a very bad man whose nickname is "The Carpenter." Being young and cocky, Kip messes up, so it's up to his big brother, Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage), to come out of car thief retirement and save him. With a cast that includes Robert Duvall, Angelina Jolie, Delroy Lindo, Cage, and Ribisi, it would be easy to say this story wastes all their talents--which it does, but that's not the point. This is a Jerry Bruckheimer film. A good story and complex characters would only get in the way of the action scenes and slow the movie down. No, Gone in 60 Seconds (based on the cult 1974 film of the same name) is not about the stars as much as it's about cars. Fast cars. Rare cars. Wrecked cars. All cars. Too bad director Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) doesn't come across as more of a gearhead; he seems less interested in fast cars than fast cuts. But is this movie fun? Absolutely, and it's fun because it's so stupid. With pointless car chases and hackneyed dialogue in one of the most predictable plots of the year, Gone in 60 Seconds is a comic film that's not quite a parody of itself, but darn close. --Andy Spletzer

Hope this was just a rental... Awful movie.

Always. I only own about 10 DVDs.

Have you seen the original? It only has a 6.1 rating at IMDB, so I probably won’t bother to watch it.

Decent flick, unbeleivable, but entertaining. Plus Angelina is just hot!
