Description of Gone in 60 Seconds [Blu-ray]:
Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) is a cocky young car thief working with a crew to steal 50 cars for a very bad man whose nickname is "The Carpenter." Being young and cocky, Kip messes up, so it's up to his big brother, Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage), to come out of car thief retirement and save him. With a cast that includes Robert Duvall, Angelina Jolie, Delroy Lindo, Cage, and Ribisi, it would be easy to say this story wastes all their talents--which it does, but that's not the point. This is a Jerry Bruckheimer film. A good story and complex characters would only get in the way of the action scenes and slow the movie down. No, Gone in 60 Seconds (based on the cult 1974 film of the same name) is not about the stars as much as it's about cars. Fast cars. Rare cars. Wrecked cars. All cars. Too bad director Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) doesn't come across as more of a gearhead; he seems less interested in fast cars than fast cuts. But is this movie fun? Absolutely, and it's fun because it's so stupid. With pointless car chases and hackneyed dialogue in one of the most predictable plots of the year, Gone in 60 Seconds is a comic film that's not quite a parody of itself, but darn close. --Andy Spletzer
Gone in 60 Seconds [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Gone in 60 Seconds 
2008-06-21 - I liked the movie. However I felt duped as it is not in 1080P like it says. It has black bars at the top and bottom of my screen its more like 1920 X 800 resolution.
Gone In 60 Seconds 
2008-04-05 - If you like action car chase scences the chase of Elenor the vintage Mustang is great as far as picture quality and sound it is one of the best I have seen so far. If you have a blu-ray player and HD TV along with a good surround setup you will not be disappointed. The story line is not new but well done.
Review solely on HD quality. 
2007-10-19 - This review is strictly on the quality of the HD transfer. The story alone is great whether on VHS, DVD, or HD. However, the transfer to HD isn't as good as I would have hoped. I'm actually not very demanding in regards to perfect HD quality, but lets face it, this transfer leaves a lot to be desired. I have this movie in DVD and Blu-ray. It does look better in blu-ray, however I don't feel that it was that much better that it was worth the extra cost. In some scenes, it felt like I was watching the DVD. This transfer was actually one of the more disappointing bluray transfer that I have seen. I did not notice any pixelation, but everything just wasn't sharp or defined as a true HD movie. I would recommend it if you don't already have this on DVD.
50 of the hottest cars all in one night ! 
2007-10-13 - Just picked this up and at the risk of sounding too technical... "WOW"! A far better movie than I was expecting. Granted, the cars are amazing etc, etc, but lets review the movie. You do not by any means have to be a car buff to enjoy this movie. Kind of like Field of dreams. Don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate that one either. Some very good characters here, both good and bad to enjoy. Our hero is getting pressure from all sides and up and down as well. A nice script and tight directing. Practically non-stop excitement. Cage's character has to "acquire" 50 of the hottest cars all in one night to save his younger brother's life as repayment for his brother's colossal screw up in a car boost. PQ is excellent. Solid blacks, colors and nice detail. SQ is very dynamic and a real treat to experience. Wish I had picked this BD up earlier! A real Gem with very good rewatchability. Highly Recommended!
Action packed! 
2007-09-28 - A must for your BD collection!
Still trying to get used to the blonde hair though.....
