Gone In 60 Seconds illustrates the opposite: that bland direction and lifeless action sequences can turn a supposedly exciting experience into a humdrum affair.
For Gone In 60 Seconds, a movie about car thieves that features about a half-dozen car chases, it's especially important to do something rousing, yet the approach employed by director Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) is no better than adequate.
Gone In 60 Seconds delivers what it advertises - lots of cars (they easily upstage the actors), a souped-up music score, slick production values, and a fair number of generic action sequences.

60 Seconds has some of the sorry earmarks of typical Bruckheimer fare: a colorless villain, music that gnaws at the soft underbelly of quiet dialogue scenes, and a craven addiction to telephoto lenses that flatten the movie out into a giant TV show.

Gone in 60 Seconds is star Nic Cage's third Bruckheimer film, after Con Air and The Rock, and it doesn't offer much that you haven't seen in either of those movies.
There is a spectacular car chase — inexplicably divided into two sections, presumably to reheat audience bloodlust for a second go-round — but this comes way late in the movie.
It has a familiar cool poseur stylishness — great lighting, a few cant frames, beautiful and/or gritty characters leaning on walls and looking glum, very shiny and generally fast cars — but it also has one of the lamest scripts to come down the pike in some time.
