A Turbo Charge Ride
Every
second in American a car is getting stolen. The saying goes here today Gone
in 60 Seconds which is the new film from one of the best producers of out
time Jerry Bruckheimer films. Gone in 60 seconds is Directed by Dominic
Sena and it stars two Academy Awards winners Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.
The story is center on Randall
"Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) long ago abandoned his life of crime,
but after an ominous visit from an old friend, he finds he has no choice but to
return to what he does best - stealing cars - in order to save his brother's
life. It all comes down to one night, 50 cars and a contract.
A true automobile aficionado, Memphis has a burning passion for cars. Fuel
injected, high performance, V-8, V-12, turbo charged, loaded or stripped to the
bare essentials, he knows and loves every nut and bolt, every gleaming piece of
chrome. Memphis is a car thief of legendary proportion. No fancy lock or alarm
can stop him; your car will be there and gone in 60 seconds.
For years, Memphis eluded the law while boosting every make and model
imaginable, with the exception of one elusive car, his beloved Eleanor, a 1967
Shelby Mustang GT 500. When the heat became too intense, he left everything and
everyone he loved to find a different life. But when his kid brother (Giovanni
Ribisi) tries to follow in his footsteps only to become dangerously embroiled in
a high stakes caper, Memphis is sucked back into his old life, tearing up the
streets for one last death defying heist.
Once again Jerry Bruckheimer
shows us why he is the best. He has produced a lot of film like The Rock
and Con Air, which also stars Nicolas Cage. One thing about Jerry
Bruckheimer his film grabs you and doesn’t let you go he is one serious
producer. He goes all out for his films and delivers a good story as well as
good action.
Nicolas Cage does a good job in
Gone in 60 Seconds, which he needs, a good film after his last film that
bomb in the box office. This was a typical role for cage, which the movie lifted
him on a ladder. But overall he has done a good job and this can add to his big
list of movies he made that were good (Face-off, Con Air, The
Rock, Leaving Las Vegas).
Angelina Jolie plays Sara
"Sway" Wayland a Ex-Girlfriend of Randall (Cage) Angelina did a great
job in the movie but the only thing I can say bad about her in it. Was that she
was not in the film long I wanted to see more of her in Gone in 60 Seconds.
I would say she was in it for about 30 min of the 2-hour film. And she stolen
the show when she was in it, she looks so good you forget about the film and
just look at her.
Overall Gone In 60 Seconds was a good film it was a fast pace turbo charge hold on to your seat film.
