With a cast like this it is damn near impossible to go wrong! Nicholas Cage puts out an amazing performance as a former car thief that has gone straight, only to be forced back into the business by the mistakes that his younger brother has made, played by Giovanni Ribisi. When I heard this movie was coming out I could only think of the 40 minute long car chase that was the highlight of the original 1974 film. I was glad to see that while the idea of the movie was the same they decided to stay away from certain angles of the original film that just seemed to drag out or seemed dated.
Over all this movie was exciting and had a lot of great stunts. My favorite character of the movie was the silent and completely mysterious character "Sphinx" played by Vinnie Jones.
Definitely worth seeing.
