Critic Reviews
One 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.
A film where suspense and exhilaration are incompatible, and a receding plot line is merely the platform for cars to fly through panes of glass.
Her star billing notwithstanding, Jolie has perhaps the ninth-largest part in the movie (behind seven humans and a dog), playing Cage's ex-girlfriend.
What does it say that we have a closer relationship with the car than with the characters? It says Bruckheimer.
In the end, for all its auto-erotic flair, Gone in 60 Seconds is missing a money shot.
A tepid disappointment that contains one mediocre chase scene and a lot of wasted talent.
A product that will delight car junkies and drive cinephiles to swear off film until fall.
Brain-softener.
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.
Does 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.
The flat tire of summer movies.
