How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:34

Fresh:8

Rotten:26

Average Rating:4.1/10

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.

Runtime: 2 hrs 7 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Box Office: $436,372

Synopsis: Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) is a former car thief who is forced to come out of retirement when his younger brother, Kip (Giovanni Ribisi), is unable to deliver 50 expensive cars to dangerous... Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) is a former car thief who is forced to come out of retirement when his younger brother, Kip (Giovanni Ribisi), is unable to deliver 50 expensive cars to dangerous smuggler Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston). With his brother's life on the line, Memphis must enlist his old car-stealing partners for help in order to pull off the ultimate crime. His team includes his mentor, Otto (Robert Duvall), and an old flame (Angelina Jolie), plus a crew of other colorful characters. Once he gets them all together, Memphis has to do the impossible: organize the theft of 50 cars from all over Los Angeles in a single night, hampered by rivals, security systems, and the best efforts of the LAPD detective (Delroy Lindo) who is out to get him. GONE IN 60 SECONDS is a fun, action-packed movie featuring producer Jerry Bruckheimer's trademarks: a simple, heartfelt story, comedy, spectacular action, an excellent cast of stars and character actors, and an amazing car chase through the crowded streets of Los Angeles. This film is based on the cult classic 1974 movie of the same name, and it's a must-see for lovers of classic cars or action fans of any stripe. Dominic Sena, the director of KALIFORNIA, directed this fast-moving crime-adventure extravaganza. [More]

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.

The movie doesn't just look and sound like a car commercial. It is a car commercial.

Cage has found a movie to challenge Snake Eyes and Eight Millimeter as the dumbest of his career.

Gone in 60 Seconds does have its moments, but they last about as long as the title implies.

The script by Scott Rosenberg (Con Air) starts out stringing together underworld cliches and, about midpoint when it becomes obvious nothing is working, turns on itself in a desperate attempt at self-parody.

Like all Jerry Bruckheimer films, Gone In 60 Seconds has a slick look but no soul.

Discounting certain holiday-themed movies, there has rarely been a film so in touch with the season of its release as Gone in 60 Seconds.

Chases are big, but -- with one exception, which stands out for its determination to bring in da noise -- joyless.

Isn't going to make anyone forget the classic chases in Bullitt or The French Connection.

Most of the thefts are unimaginative in conception and execution.

The movie's seemingly absurd setup works better than you might guess because the filmmakers and actors never take it completely straight-line.
