Gone In Sixty Seconds (2000)

Dominic Sena directs Nicolas Cage, Robert Duvall and Giovanni Ribisi in this car heist thriller remake where a crew has to steal a wish list of cars under a very tight deadline.

The director credit might say Dominic Sena but this is very much a Jerry Bruckheimer joint. Insanely stacked overqualified cast, petrol explosion visuals, comedy banter from a dozen script doctors. Cage seems subdued and the highly billed Angelina Jolie seems to wander in and out of the gang whenever it suits her. How did she know to be there at that time? The final car chase delivers what you bought a ticket for.
