GONE IN 60 SECONDS

2000

Great trailer, crappy movie. Nicholas Cage is a retired car thief who is forced into doing one more large "boost" when his brother (Giovanni Ribisi) gets into trouble with the local furniture kingpin. Sound cliché and stupid? Yes it does and yes it is. And there is so much more to back that up that I won't even mention! Angelina Jolie is in the movie about as much as you see her in the trailer and Robert Duvall is, well... Robert Duvall. The real stars of this film are the cars and the car chases. And the car chases aren't even that exciting. I think the Dukes of Hazard had more exciting car chases. When viewers realize how dumb this movie is, they should be gone in about 10 seconds.

Why, you might ask, would three Oscar winners (Nicolas Cage, Robert Duvall, and Angelina Jolie,) agree to star in this redneck auto-show/car chase...a film that has less plot than a Taco Bell ad? If you have an answer, please e-mail me, because I don't have a clue. But, in the meantime, if you have an expensive car parked outside, check on it, because Hollywood in its reckless stupidity has created a manual for car thieves.
