GONE IN 60 SECONDS(2000)
Nic Cage stars in this re-make of the 1974 classic! Though
it's been forever since i've seen the original, I don't think
that it was as good as this! This truly is a great action
flick!! A-
From IMDb.com:
A retired master car thief (Nicolas Cage) must come back
to the industry and steal fifty cars with his crew in one
night to save his brother's life.
I may not know much about cars and I know probably even
less about stealing them, but this is a fun movie. A bit
implausible, especially one scene with a car jumping a
ramp and going like a quarter mile... but what fun, and
what a great cast. Even Angelina Jolie, who is far from
my favorite actress, is somewhat interesting here.
This must have been around the tail end of Cage's golden
age of roles. I think he did a few more that were decent
since then (both "Lord of War" and "Weather Man" are great),
but this was probably the last big film he did before his
downfall. - gavin6942
