88 Chicago Tribune Michael
Wilmington : One of the best of its
streamlined, over-produced,
double-clutch kind: a high-speed,
slicker-than-slick car-chase movie
with unexpected deposits of
character and comedy.
75 San Francisco Examiner Wesley
Morris :A film where suspense and
exhilaration are incompatible, and a
receding plot line is merely the
platform for cars to fly through
panes of glass.
63 New York Post Lou Lumenick: Her
star billing notwithstanding, Jolie
has perhaps the ninth-largest part in
the movie (behind seven humans
and a dog), playing Cage's
ex-girlfriend.
63 USA Today Susan Wloszczyna: It's
a pretty good ride even if it blatantly
steals some of its best stunts from
"American Graffiti" and "Grease."
60 Chicago Reader Jonathan
Rosenbaum: I found it more
pleasurable as a time waster than
either "Mission: Impossible."
60 Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi :What
does it say that we have a closer
relationship with the car than with the
characters? It says Bruckheimer.
50 The New York Times A.O. Scott
:This new version is mindless
hot-rodding fun, especially for those with
a weakness for vintage cars hurtling
down city streets, a group whose
members include -- sigh -- me.
50 Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan:
A tepid disappointment that contains one
mediocre chase scene and a lot of
wasted talent.
50 Miami Herald Charles Savage: In
the end, for all its auto-erotic flair, Gone
in 60 Seconds is missing a money shot.
50 Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
:This is the kind of movie that ends up
playing on the TV set over the bar in a
better movie.
50 San Francisco Chronicle Mick
LaSalle :The story is unbelievable and
phenomenally silly, not a good
combination.
I love this movie! Whats not
to like! Hot Cars Hot
Characters!
