Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Gone In Sixty Seconds" (2000)Before "The Fast And The Furious" conquers the "Automotive" action-cinema for the years to come, starring ensemble including Academy-Award-winners Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and Robert Duvall, reprising a carácter-alike "Days of Thunder" (1990) from Harry Hogge to Otto Halliwell, to build a remake of a 1974 action-movie with Jerry Bruckheimer producing and 50-year-old Dominic Sena directing to entertain but not surprise in a simplistic storyline of hi-jacking 50 high-glossy sportive cars in one night of a major raid to bust out Nic Cage's film brother portrayed by Giovanni Ribisi, when his character's only objective becomes to cruise the 1971 customized Ford Mustang one last time at Southwest Marine roads of Los Angeles county to fulfill an action revenue at a price of a single occasion action car chase movie with no further depth put well-put production values thanks to cinematographer Paul Cameron and the production company executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer to Hollywood high-stand short-lived excellence.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

BlackTalon170 Was Memphis Raines an alpha male? His Character Seemed Like He Was An Alpha Male. One of the best movies I've seen.Nicolas Cage plays Memphis Raines, who used to be the greatest car thief in Los Angeles ("I didn't do it for the money. I did it for the cars"). Now he has retired to the desert to run a gas station and go-kart track. He retired because his mom asked him to. She was afraid his younger brother Kip (Ribisi) would become a thief, too. Kip became a thief anyway.

Filipe Neto Movies about cops and robbers are a classic theme of cinema. The organized crime, in turn, is an undesirable reality. This film is excellent when trying to portray the methodical way in which these thieves act, even from a pure and unpretentious fiction film, which doesn't want to be an artwork but merely entertain its audience and give us good action moments. Pursuits that look like street racing, shootings, almost-ruthless bandits, resolute policemen and a good guy trying to help his troubled brother. Oh, and Angelina Jolie playing a character who takes advantage of her physical attributes.The script, of H. B. Halicki and Scott Rosenberg, has nothing extraordinary except the huge amount of cars to steal. But the script falls into an error of many theft films by making the thief a true hero. Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage) is a retired thief who is forced to steal to save his brother. He acknowledges that is wrong and tries to prevent his brother from stealing but, if we exclude this ideas, the rest of the film is like a "glorification" of car theft. At this point, the script needed to have been amended. I think this film could be more interesting with some more profound psychological conflicts surrounding that, and that troubled familiar relationship. Our society is quite degraded today, why not explore the conflict "good vs. evil" in another way, instead of making the street villains the good guys? The film has two very good things. First, it has a star cast led by Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, Giovanni Ribisi, Christopher Eccleston, among others honorable names. A cast too good for this kind of movie. Maybe the film would gain if the director and the writers had been more demanding with the actors, pushing them to their best and allow them to explore the full potential of each character, but this did not happened. For example, Jolie's character simply does not make any honor to her talent. Its just body. Second, the action scenes. Some of these are classical, but are always well, and the visual and sound effect make them even better.

trashgang Remake of the classic Gone In 60 Seconds (1974). looked promising but for me this wasn't a good flick. The first hour is talking and talking and a bit of act and mouse with the police who know something is going on. After one hour this flick slowly moves into a bit of action but it's waiting until the end to see the best, The Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500. that chase is worth seeing as are the other cars throughout this flick. The problem was that I was more into the expensive Italian cars and the muscle cars then into the actual story itself. Not really my thing storywise although I always liked the acting of Cage. For me Need For Speed (2014)was much better with a better story and directing. Still, if you are into flicks with cars then this is it, but if you dig action like Fast and Furious franchise you won't get it here, sadly.Gore 0/5 Nuidty 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
