It's just kinda dull though, unless you get excited by 60s Thunderbirds, Chevies and wot not.

Consensus:
Even though Oscar-bearers Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and Robert Duval came aboard for this project, the quality of Gone in 60 Seconds is disappointingly low. The plot line is nonsensical, and even the promised car-chase scenes are boring.

Where the original had too many car chases and not enough plot or characterisation, this has too much plot, too many characters and not enough metal crunching, tyre squealing action.

What makes such threadbare character development all the more insulting is that Gone in Sixty Seconds has assembled a war chest of acting talent and then let it idle.

You will walk out feeling exhilarated, whether it will have finished or not will be a different matter altogether!

It collapses into a heap of ridiculously over-the-top stunts, movie cliches and surprisingly sappy dialog.

It's just a mechanical exercise in looking at machinery, designed for pre-pubescent boys.

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 most basic level as a good car-chase picture.

I found it more pleasurable as a time waster than either Mission: Impossible.

So clumsy is the film that while our 'heroes' are 'boosting' their 50 cars in 24 hours, the audience never has a clue how many they have successfully stolen.

This is another one of those films that fits into the “it is what it is” category, only it’s better than that. It is what it is and does it really, really well.

It's fun for a couple of hours and provides the requisite eye candy, but that's about all.

Those who prefer Nicolas Cage in soulful roles may not be attracted to Gone in 60 Seconds

No prizes will be handed out come year end, but this fix will sufficiently satisfy adrenaline-seekers until the next shot rolls around.
