  GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS/ **1/2

 Gone in Sixty Seconds review
The trailer for Gone in Sixty Seconds promised a lot of cool car chases and stunts, but there is surprisingly little automotive action until the last half hour.

Gone in Sixty Seconds does not approach Crimson Tide, probably the best of the typical Bruckheimer action films (Beverly Hills Cop doesn't count, as it's a comedy), but it's entertaining and has a great car chase as well.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
Several months ago, when the trailer for "Gone in 60 Seconds" began advertising, one woman behind me in the theater, following the preview, exclaimed, "I'm exhausted just watching that!" To be sure, the film looked as if it was sure to be a balls-to-the-wall, no-holds-barred summer action picture.
The aforementioned lady in the theater needn't have fretted about the aspects of possibly seeing "Gone in 60 Seconds," because the trailer is infinitely more thrilling than the actual movie, which has all of about two or three action scenes strung out over the course of two hours, with nonsensical, time-filling rubbish in between.
The top-to-bottom talent that "Gone in 60 Seconds" exudes is amazing all the same, none of which have any reason at all to appear here.

Whatever its merits as a film, the 2000 version of Gone In Sixty Seconds was required viewing for Mustang lovers.
While the 2000 version of Gone In Sixty Seconds is obviously inspired by 1974’s Gone In 60 Seconds, it’s really not a remake.
Although both titles are pronounced the same, technically, they’re not identical because the title of the newer movie spells out the word sixty and the old title uses the number (even though the poster for the new movie uses the number).

 GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS (2000): DIRECTOR'S CUT (UNRATED, NEW EXTENDED VERSION) + NATIONAL TREASURE (WIDESCREEN) - DVDs
Back when I first screened Dominic Sena's beer commercial without the beer Gone in Sixty Seconds, an usher excitedly chatted up the movie to me before the lights went down.
The situation sadly doesn't improve with Touchstone's new-to-DVD "Director's Cut" of the film, which, aside from restoring a masturbation monologue shamelessly filched from James Mangold's Heavy, preserves a sanitary gleam that's as uninspired as it is insulting.
Of course, the real auteur of the film is producer Jerry Bruckheimer, a dated, hagiographic interview with whom is recycled, like almost all of the disc's supplementary material, from the previous DVD release of Gone in Sixty Seconds.
