Gone in 60 Seconds


Lemme tell ya...classic motorcycle movies are ten thousand times better than classic car movies.

I've wanted to see this for a little while now. Tarantino gets you psyched on classic car movies through Death Proof. You wanna see where all that awesomeness comes from. Well, it comes from Tarantino, not from Gone in 60 Seconds. I genuinely don't think there was one legitimate actor in the film. I think the stunt driver was also the Star, Writer, Director and Producer of the film. There's no artistic merit to be found. Anywhere.

The score sucked real hard. It was shitty sort of Fusion stuff. It's 1974, you can't be hurting for some good fucking rock music to accompany your 40 minute car chase. No need to use the awful score, man.

The audio sucked. The editing was alright. But this movie was supposed to be about a car chase. That car chase should have righted any prior wrongs. But as you can guess, it didn't. It wasn't exactly a boring chase, but it wasn't that good, either.

Was there anything good about this? Well, there are some cool Rolls Royces, Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers, a Maserati, Ferraris, and a bunch more sweet 70's American Muscle. But I can google that shit. Don't make me watch 90 minutes of crap just to catch a glimpse of a sweet old Roller.

I'm sure you'd honestly be better off watching Angelina Jolie in the 2000 remake. That's what I think of this.

Oh well.
