Gone in 60 Seconds

First of all, let me make something clear. Angelina Jolie doesn't get naked. If you're still interested in this movie, read on.

There were some cool chase scenes in this flick, especially in the beginning. Reminds you of classics like Bullitt or The French Connection. Of course, you would expect nothing less from a movie like this.

Nicholas Cage was as wooden as ever. Every time I see him in a movie, I can't shake the images of "Raising Arizona". I suppose other people don't maintain such a strong mental connection between this actor and his most successful early work. If you're one of those people you might get by his lack of depth.

Lack of depth is a good way to describe this film. The characters are all from the shallow end of the pool. This movie is about nothing more than hot cars and lots of them.

If you're looking for a brain dead movie that you can get up and go get a beer without hitting pause and without missing anything, this is a worthwhile rental.
