Maindrian Pace is an insurance investigator with a good reputation. What few people know is that Pace leads a double life and is also a highly effective car thief. When a South American drug lord pays him to steal 48 cars, Pace and his team get to work and have taken all but one, a 1973 Ford Mustang, which they intend to steal in Long Beach. But Pace's boss has tipped off the police who are waiting for him and this results in a desperate chase through five states as Pace tries to get away from the law. (official distributor synopsis)

Gone in 60 Seconds is a reckless stunt-driven movie and is not focused on the characters, their backgrounds, or any "traditional" kind of storyline. It is a movie based purely on just action and then more action again. In the first half of the movie, there are some stylish action sequences involving dozens of cars being stolen. After that, there is then probably the best car-chase scene ever captured on film. The incredible continuous action makes you forget any impressions you might have had of the lame storyline. I do not think that movies do not always have to follow a traditional format, and so sometimes a movie-maker can just smack the audience in the face with raw, honest, and polished execution. I think Gone in 60 Seconds is a great example of that.
