Product Description:
A REFORMED CAR THEIF MASTERMINDS THE HEIST OF A LIFETIME IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS BROTHER.
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

Rating: 
- Remastered Gone in 60 Seconds
Never another chase scene like this. Filmed where I grew up. I enjoyed JC Agajanian's interview.
Product was in excellent condition and arrived on time.
Rating: 
- Great
The movie took a little longer than I was usual than expecting.I think it came 2 weeks after I ordered it (usually they come the same week).Movie is in better condition than what it said online.
Rating: 
- Watchable, fun, plenty of digital candy, but predictable and lacks staying power
First of all, I know that there are people out there that think that this movie is the absolute greatest.It does appeal to many of the senses, but in my opinion, it lacks the makings of a classic movie.It, however, may qualify as a sort of cult classic, but not a movie classic.
The acting is clearly back-seated to many beautiful cars, hip music, and, surprisingly, big-name actors (e.g., Cage, Jolie, Duvall).I found the storyline to be quite predictable, as was the outcome.
