 Mixed Reviews - Gone In 60 Seconds - reviewed by Gabriel Shanks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
As ephemeral a movie as its title suggests, GONE IN 60 SECONDS is exactly how long the endorphin thrills of this car-stealing flick last once outside the theatre.
GONE IN 60 SECONDS demands that you pull for the criminals to win; the most effective tool to achieve this is Memphis, a former bad guy turned really good guy (in his first scene, he's seen playing with children on a go-cart track), who is only stealing cars to save his brother's life.
GONE IN 60 SECONDS is what the Summer Movie Season was made for.

 hip online: film review:
Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of Gone In 60 Seconds, is responsible for some of the most supreme examples of mindless entertainment in film history: Top Gun, The Rock, and Flashdance, to name three.
Based on a 1974 movie of the same name, Gone In 60 Seconds is a predictable car chase movie with an almost incidental plot revolving around family and redemption.
Thankfully, the movie doesn't linger too long on the elements that might have made it unbearable: the kiddie go-cart track where Memphis works, the pointless Asian driver stereotyping, the silly conclusion of the final shoot out, the fact that there seem to be no policemen in all of Los Angeles.

"Gone in Sixty Seconds" is rated PG-13 for violence (brutal hand-to-hand combat, gunplay and mayhem), occasional strong profanity, simulated sex, vulgar humor and brief partial female nudity.
