‘60 Seconds’ too long for this dud
By Samuel McKewon
Senior editor
“Gone in 60 Seconds?”
Oh, I wish.
It’s surprising how unappeal
ing this movie is. Given it is a
Jerry Bruckheimer production,
you do not expect common sense
or character building. But you
expect more than Nicolas Cage
bumbling his way through as car
thief Randall “Memphis” Raines
like he’s half in the tank.
The Bruckheimer people
have produced some pulpy fun at
the movies (“Top Gun,”
“Crimson Tide”) and, well, crap.
“Gone in 60 Seconds” secures a
place in the latter category.
Gone in 60
SECONDS
WHO: Nicolas Cage,
Angelina Jolie, Robert
Devall, Giovanni Ribisl
WHAT: Rated R, 119
minutes
BOTTOM UNE:‘Gone’
leaves viewers flat
despite car erase traiiis.
“Mission: Impossible 2” is a
Rembrandt by comparison.
This movie has no heart, no
heat, no guts and most of all, no
familiarity - there’s so many
characters to keep track of, it’s
ridiculous.
And it is long, so long, with
sidetracks and detours that kill
the fun. It’s a remake of a 13
grade car thief flick, not “The
French Connection.” But I have a
hunch that the director, Dominic
Sena, was aiming for more than
this plot was able to deliver. The
result is an odd compromise that
doesn’t succeed in any which
way.
Sena made a chilling crime
movie in 1993 entitled
“{California,” containing the only
good performance Brad Pitt has
ever delivered. Rent it, and you’ll
