Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-20 00:00:00 Jair Bustamante Gone in 60 Seconds by Scott Rosenberg 5 out of 10 This is a spectacular failure, a waste of immense talent, given that Robert Duvall, for instance, is part of the cast. The sense of deja vu is overwhelming, although audiences on the other hand never seem to tire of the genre... The most recent Fast and the Furious - what is it? Number XIV? - has just launched to number one at the box office. Baby Driver and other types of drivers have enjoyed a commercial, sometimes even critical success. Thus, watching a team of thieves stealing no less than fifty cars in three days may be fun for some viewers. For this cinephile, it was more entertaining to read what some intelligent, creative scribes had to say about the film... 'I'll tell you what's gone in 60 seconds, all right: My attention'...The Washington Post 'Proves a theory first advanced in the movie Repo Man. The more you drive, the stupider you get' Philadelphia Inquirer Finally: 'There were moments when I thought Gone in 60 Seconds might be a passably entertaining movie. I figure those moments, strung end-to-end would total 30 or 40 seconds' also The Washington Post In other words, if the movie is a flop, the critics writing about it can be brilliant, nonetheless.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-28 00:00:00 David Hargis I am glad I saw the movie before reading the book, because it put characters into perspective. The book stays pretty in sync with the movie, minus an added line here and there. Watching the action was better than reading about it though.
