88One of the best of its streamlined, over-produced, double-clutch kind: a high-speed, slicker-than-slick car-chase movie with unexpected deposits of character and comedy.
-
75A film where suspense and exhilaration are incompatible, and a receding plot line is merely the platform for cars to fly through panes of glass.
-
63Her star billing notwithstanding, Jolie has perhaps the ninth-largest part in the movie (behind seven humans and a dog), playing Cage's ex-girlfriend.
-
63It's a pretty good ride even if it blatantly steals some of its best stunts from "American Graffiti" and "Grease."
-
60What does it say that we have a closer relationship with the car than with the characters? It says Bruckheimer.
-
60I found it more pleasurable as a time waster than either "Mission: Impossible."
-
50This is the kind of movie that ends up playing on the TV set over the bar in a better movie.
-
50In the end, for all its auto-erotic flair, Gone in 60 Seconds is missing a money shot.
-
50The story is unbelievable and phenomenally silly, not a good combination.
-
50A tepid disappointment that contains one mediocre chase scene and a lot of wasted talent.
-
50This new version is mindless hot-rodding fun, especially for those with a weakness for vintage cars hurtling down city streets, a group whose members include -- sigh -- me.
-
42This retread has been bloated far beyond its B-movie origins, beefed up with more characters and an all-star cast, stripped of any real suspense and loaded down with music cuts and one-liners aimed at pleasing a crowd of rowdy male teenagers.
-
40The car stunts are ridiculous, all lightning-fast editing and computer enhancement -- by the time action is this far removed from reality, who cares?
-
40A time-waster with some enjoyably empty zip.
-
40A product that will delight car junkies and drive cinephiles to swear off film until fall.
-
40So mired in his own ludicrous equation for contemporary action pictures that it's constantly stuck in first gear.
-
40This film, a remake of a hapless 1974 cheapie of the same title, can't even get the big chase right.
-
38Brain-softener.
-
38Interesting and idiotic elements almost exactly balance each other.
-
30A 119-minute trailer.
-
30Written in 60 Seconds would be a more appropriate title.
-
30Doesn't just look and sound like a car commercial. It is a car commercial.
-
30It's barely a movie at all, more like a thousand car commercials spliced together in an hour.
-
30It has a tendency to run ragged and spends an unhealthy amount of time idling pointlessly at intersections.
-
30In 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.
-
30I'll tell you what's gone in 60 seconds, all right: my attention.
-
30There were moments when I thought Gone in 60 Seconds might be a passably entertaining movie. I figure those moments, strung end-to-end, would total 30 or 40 seconds.
-
30Does boast, as a major plot point, a dog's bowel movement. And things do go 'boom!' quite spectacularly and frequently enough to distract from the truth that there is virtually nothing going on in this whole movie that Nintendo hasn't done better.
-
25How did a dignified pro like Duvall get stuck in this fender-bender?
-
25A mindless, cliche-riddled action-cartoon, a blur of metal and fire and screeching tires, with bad dialogue, cardboard characters and a volume set so high, it makes the Indianapolis 500 sound like chamber music.
-
25Proves a theory first advanced in the movie "Repo Man": The more you drive, the stupider you get.
-
25The flat tire of summer movies.
-
25Eventually, the senses jam and a mental lube job is in order.
-
20Perfectly dreadful in every respect.
