Gone in 60 Seconds

(Buena Vista)

Never has a talented cast been more wasted (and not in the drunk-driving sense). Dominic Sena's line-up boasts three Oscar winners -- Robert Duvall, Angelina Jolie, and Nicolas Cage -- but you'd never know it from this gem about a car thief (Cage) who tries to heist 50 autos in one night. Even Robert Duvall can't save Scott Rosenberg's glib and leaden screenplay. What's more, Angelina Jolie is in a lot less of the movie than you might have hoped, Sena seems to think colored backlighting is really cool, and clichés abound. For a movie that's ostensibly built around car theft and police chases, it falls pretty flat. If you want real burnin'-rubber smash-'em-up action, check out The French Connection or even The Blues Brothers.
