Another remake, this time from a 1974 original. Gone In 60 Seconds gives a crash course in stealing cars.

Nicolas Cage is Randall "Memphis" Raines, a legendary retired car thief. He is forced out of retirement when his brother gets on the wrong side of bad guy Raymond Calitri, played by Our Friends In The North star Christopher Eccleston.

To save brother from an untimely death, Raines is forced to steal fifty "impossible to steal" cars and deliver them to Calitri for shipment overseas.

"And which vehicle would Sir prefer?"

Good story. Maybe, but the finished product hardly gets out of first gear. True, there are plenty of car chases but what film nowadays does not have a car chase.

The story plods along as if in a 30mph speed limit zone. Only Cage's character is fully formed.

And what about Vinnie Jones? His character is called The Sphinx. He says nothing throughout the movie. Nuff said.
