Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the way that the movie "disinfects" the hero-thief by giving him (1) a good motive, (2) a commitment to going straight, (3) even worse bad guys, (4) loyal friends who demonstrate that he is worthy of respect and affection, and (5) a resolution that seems fair to everyone. They may also want to talk about how vulnerable everyone is to crime, and how to protect themselves and their property.

    Nice movie, not for the younger ones.

    This movie contains language that is mild enough to have many, many instances of such and still be PG-13. S word, a word, others are common. In addition, there is a scene which would not be recommended for people under the age of 13. There are a few car chases, a lot of intense scenes, but not too much actual violence. There is some iffy

    The Best Car movie ever made

    After seeing the movie gone in 60 seconds. i thought over all that this movie was awsome. if you like action, muscle cars, also good plots, and sweet car chases, then this is the movie for you. to back my self up one thing that is noticed is the great selection of muscle cars. you got your shelby cobras to your rare oldsmobile 442. this movie is one to be watched if you want to expierience one of the best legondary car scenes on earth. PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE IT IS SWEET
