Gone in 60 Seconds | Year: 2000 Classification: Drama Actors/Actresses: - Nicolas Cage - Angelina Jolie This is definately a guy movie. I see an alarming trend in the movies these days; a big budget movie with a tremendous cast and absolutely no script. "Gone in 60 Seconds" is one of those films. You look at a movie with Nick Cage, Robert Duvall, Delroy Lindo, and Angelina Jolie, and you would have to think it was going to be good, but you'd be wrong. From a purely visual standpoint the film is slick and entertaining, but in reality it is a poorly written mediocre action movie. Nicholas Cage plays Randall "Memphis" Raines a legend in the auto theft community who is forced out of retirement to save his kid brothers (played by the always strange Giovanni Ribisi) life. Raines must recruit a group of car thieves (Jolie, Duvall and others) who are capable of stealing 50 rare and exotic cars in 72 hours while the crafty police detective (played by Lindo) is hot on their trail. From there the movie goes on to be a disappointing mix of bad one liners and stale dialogue. Duvall's talent is absolutely wasted in this picture, and Angelina Jolie's physical appearance is down right frightening (what ever happend to that pretty girl from "The Bone Collecter"?). As a guy I have to admit that I loved the action and the car chases especially the final chase with Cage, but the ending is so far fetched that you wouldn't believe it. Overall I have to admit that the car chases, explosions and hot cars appealed to the guy part of me enough to say that I liked the movie, but as a movie lover I have to say that I felt a bit cheated. GREAT CAR FILM! "Gone in 60 Seconds" exists for one purpose: to show off some of the hottest cars in existence. The storyline is kind of hokey, but the cars more than make up for it, especially the GT 500. The car chase at the end is one of the best ever filmed! All the actors (Especially Robert Duvall, who can never give a bad performance) do fine in their roles. All in all, "Gone in 60 Seconds" is a one @#* Movie Grade: B Maybe a three star movie, but still... A waste of great talent is probably the most honest thing I can say about this flick.
