excellent movie, while it is a remake, it gets props for having a good story, excellent direction and fantastic acting.
While all of the main actors had great parts, this film is really made by the "Ladies" Grace Zabriski as the mother is fantastic she really allows you to feel how she is torn in her emotions, but how there truly is no choice that she is given. Frances Fisher is great as Junie, her background provides a punch to Robert Duvall's fatherly presence, (watch her in the scenes that she is just leaving camera, she is spot on.)
Chi McBride really makes this show (as Donnie) I laughed every time he shoed up on screen, and Vinnie Jones (the Sphinx) is just perfect, I have met a few morticians, and that is pretty much what I would expect ...
Props to the cast, they did an amazing job, the chase scenes were a bit overboard but not so much so that it loses what is going on, while it could have done without a few minutes of Hollywood fluff, it didn't ruin the movie for me.

This movie is not one you buy for the plot or the actors....Its all about the cars and the car chases, and the cars are more than worth the credit to see.

Don't get this. It's bad. Everything's over the top computer generated graphics. Everyone's trying to be hip and cool and unreal. Angeline with her dread lock hair. Bad. Very bad. If you want to see Gone In 60 Seconds order the original version from the 70s.
