  Gone in 60 Seconds: Cinephiles Movie Review
Gone in 60 Seconds, directed by Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) and written by Scott Rosenberg (Con Air), is a remake of the 1974 cult classic by the same name and directed by H. Halicki.
Gone in 60 Seconds sensationalizes the love of expensive cars by creating a story around its characters' extreme desire to possess the pricey machines.
After an hour worth of scenes which introduce the premise and which depict the mechanics of the character's plan and preparation to steal the vehicles, the second hour of the film is ripe for the execution and its complications.

 Filmtracks: Gone in 60 Seconds (Trevor Rabin)
Gone in 60 Seconds: (Trevor Rabin) By the year 2000, film producer Jerry Bruckheimer had clearly defined the kind of music that he liked to hear in his films.
Between Gone in 60 Seconds and The One, Rabin had gone from being a film composer to a human sound effects machine whose job is to pump up the audience with adrenaline by using hard rock music at high volumes.
For Gone in 60 Seconds, the music basically works, and this is because the film suffers from the same mindless, primitive construction of nonstop displays of testosterone.

And so it is with "Gone In Sixty Seconds." You'll forget the movie exactly one minute after you watch it.
In spite of all this, however, "Gone In Sixty Seconds" is among the dumber action movies of the year 2000, with practically no tension, no romance, no believability, and few thrills that aren't easily anticipated or haven't been seen before.
I'm not going to say "Gone In Sixty Seconds" is the worst action film ever made, it certainly isn't, but it never rises much above the average, either.

 The Audio Revolution Review of 'Gone in Sixty Seconds'
The man was H.B. Halicki and the film was 1974’s ‘Gone in Sixty Seconds.’ Despite having little plot and less budget, ‘Gone’ went on to be a modest, much-emulated indie success.
Unfortunately for the car thief in question, young Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi), it’s not exactly a low-profile "boost" and the aftermath is a mess, leaving him $10,000 in hock to gangster Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston).
It helps greatly that ‘Gone’ doesn’t get bombastic on us, convincing us of the situation’s personal urgency to the characters without trying to read anything larger into it.

 Gone in Sixty Seconds | ajc.com
A high-octane remake of the 1974 flick, "Gone in 60 Seconds" is like most of Bruckheimer's brute-strength blockbusters ("Armageddon," "Con Air," "The Rock").
Written by Scott Rosenberg, "Gone in 60 Seconds" isn't believable for a second, and it has plot holes you could drive all 50 cars through, side-by-side.
But if you sit through the usual formula garbage, "Gone" delivers a long, harrowing car chase that easily outdoes the motorcycle finale in "M:I-2." Sure, you may lose a few IQ points while you're watching the flick.
