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.

In 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.

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.

Sixty seconds is all a professional car thief needs to steal a car. It takes about the same time for a moviegoer to know he or she is watching a Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

A product that will delight car junkies and drive cinephiles to swear off film until fall.

You can spend just about all of this movie's long 119-minute running time in the lobby ... and still know what's going on.

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

Comfortably cheesy -- a real beer-and-pizza movie.

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.

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.

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 impossible to care about Cage's mission, Ribisi is an arsehole who deserves to get crushed, Eccleston a creep who doesn't deserve the cars, and the car-owners are anonymous rich types -- rather like the executives who greenlit this film, perhaps?

It gives good action, but also takes the time to play around a bit in the interstices too.

Aside from the nine extra minutes of pre-chase chatter, there's literally nothing on this new DVD that's not on the first one.

The new, unrated Director's Cut contains nine more minutes than the original edition. Can nine minutes make a difference? I dunno. In this case, not much.

Remake of the film of the same name, Gone in 60 Seconds is an entertaining film, but lacks so much in everything else. The film delivers on the action, but it lacks any story depth, and a good cast (aside from a few actors, the talent here is awful). The film fails to capture the essence of the original (which was a

Oh my, Jolie looks absolutely hideous in this movie. Anyways, this movie was badass. I loved those car chasing scenes. And the ending was as expected.

1. The Sphinx: If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life and inspired you to change your ways, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say poor Toby? I say poor us.
