Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Gone in 60 Seconds—B-grade, a remake of the 1974 film of the same
name—is MUCH! MUCH! better than the original. Rarely do remakes do as well as
their original feature movies, but this one has WOW! factor all over it.
Pulse-pounding, engine rumbling classic. Nicolas Cage is in his prime and
delivers. His supporting cast has been well-chosen. It’s a fun and riveting watch.
