1. Quality

2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   One of the most spectacular car chases ever filmed!!! Over 40 minutes of non-stop action with real cars crashing, jumping, sliding, speeding, and doing all kinds of crazy things. You won’t find any CGI or model work here.
   
   Written, Produced, Directed, and starring H.B. “Toby” Halicki, Gone in 60 Seconds was Toby’s baby. It’s about a family of car thieves who take a job of having to deliver 48 cars in less than a week. They research, they scout and then they’re Gone in 60 Seconds. However, when one of the family members turns on their leader and tips off the cops, it’s not just a job anymore, it’s a race against time and the law.

4. Acting

   Barely OK 2.0

   The acting is pretty bad but when you think about it, Toby Halicki was a junkman in real life and he later became a stunt man. He always wanted to make a movie and when he did he called in all the favors he could. He didn’t go out and hire actors, he had friends for his co-stars, he became friends with the local police and used some of their officers in the movie. He had friends that owned the car dealerships that you see him running around in with Eleanor. So when you really think about it , there isn’t one real actor in this movie really. Yet you understand what’s going on and they make it seem believable.

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    Ha, 40 minutes of balls to the wall car chasing along with 70+ car crashes, what more could you ask for in an aciton movie? Yeah the last car wasn’t no glorified ‘67 Shelby clone mock-up. It was a real 1973 Mach I Mustang with a regular old 351 Windsor V-8 and she didn’t have no stupid nitrous system. The car was real and she was the only one. That’s right, one car. That’s all they had. No 10 cars with 5 five stunt cars. Nope, one car, if it broke, they had to fix her. All the dents dings, scratches, and damage stayed. Even when a stunt went wrong during filming, they had to keep it in the movie because the damage done to the car afterwards was too obvious to try and hide. Great stunts, cool cruising music, sweet cars, perfect film for car buffs.

16. Edge

    Risqué 2.4

    What Toby wanted to do was make an action movie for the whole family and that’s what he did. It has it’s funny parts, it’s serious parts, all leading up to the big jump at the end (which is also real) which leaves you with your jaw on the floor and you won’t have to worry if your child is watching it. Now that’s a movie I like.

21. Reality

    Surreal 2.5

    All the stunts are real. So the things showed in the movie can happen. Car theft is a very popular crime that is comitted often. People get in police chases all the time, very few get away though.
