GONE IN 60 SECONDS is a well-remembered car chase thriller of the 1970s. It was one of many films involving fast cars and races with the police, sequences that even made their way into mainstream films like the James Bond/Roger Moore movies for instance. People may remember that this film was made into a glossy version with Nic Cage in 2000, which has absolutely nothing to do with the original other than having the same title.
This film is quite low budget and for most of the running time it's very ordinary. The plot doesn't really go very far and there's little in the way of excitement or interest. Below average, in fact, and the poor acting merely compounds this. However, the film is well worth watching purely because of the car chase climax, which lasts no less than 40 minutes! 40 minutes of vehicular mayhem in which a Ford Mustang is chased through the streets by a whole array of police cars while endless destruction abounds. It's pure entertainment and spectacle and you never lose interest for a second. Great fun.
