I
have got to give credit to Jerry Bruckheimer because as a Producer he has
created some of the most glossy popcorn films of all time and no matter how
predictable or formulaic they can sometimes get, even the silliest of them are
often entertaining to view at least once. When “Gone In 60 Seconds” was
first released, it was dismissed as another “Fast And The Furious” type
film. I have never seen “The Fast And The Furious” so I can’t compare.
I’m not really into cars all that much. However “Gone In 60 Seconds” is
entertaining for what it is as long as you accept it at face value. The story
basically follows Nicolas Cage as a former professional car thief who is forced
to put together a team to pull a major car heist in 72 hours or else a British
mobster will kill his brother. The beautiful and sexy Angelina Jolie is in the
film, but her role is really nothing more than eye candy and to have some sort
of love interest for Cage to play off of. She really doesn’t do anything to
forward the story. A few recognizable faces in the film include Christopher
Eccleston, who in America is perhaps best known for his role in “28 Days
Later” and abroad he recently appeared as the ninth Doctor in the BBC sci-fi
franchise “Doctor Who.” Timothy Olyphant (Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher) and
Kevin Weisman (Alias) also appear in the film. I never saw the theatrical
version of “Gone In 60 Seconds” so I can’t point out what has been added
or changed.
On
UMD-Video for PSP, “Gone In 60 Seconds: Director’s Cut: New Extended
Version” is presented in a glossy widescreen (2.35:1) aspect ratio with a very
nice English Dolby Surround Soundtrack that makes especially good use of the
spatiality between the left and right channels so whether you are listening
using ear buds or have you PSP docked on a “i Sound Pro” speaker system, the
soundtrack will make you feel as if you were in your own little private
screening room wherever you may be. English Captions for the hearing impaired as
well as French and Spanish Language Subtitles are encoded onto the UMD as
options too.
Extra
value features include a montage of car stunt action sequences from the film
under the heading “Action Overload” and two behind-the-scenes featurettes
made up of “O To 60,” which covers how the film came to fruition and a
stunts featurette with Director Dominic Sena entitled “Wild Rides,” which
details how the Actors had to actually be trained to drive real fast to make the
car action more believable when they are on screen. Previews that include the
upcoming Jodi Foster thriller “Flight Plan,” which premieres in theaters on
September 23, 2005 and home video trailers for “Frank Miller’s Sin City”
and “From Dusk Till Dawn” wrap up the bonus materials on this UMD.
The
menus are fully animated so the choices take the user around the wheel of a car
complete with engine sounds and also features full motion scene selections and
all of the UMD interactive menus are easy to navigate too. “Gone In 60
Seconds: Director’s Cut: New Extended Version” is available on UMD-Video for
PSP now at retailers on and offline courtesy of Touchstone Home Entertainment.
