Bruckheimer's first "faux pas"
2 July 2000
Being a fan of Jerry Bruckheimer's previous productions(Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon), I never left a theater disappointed by one of his films but I guess there is a first time for everything. "Gone" is long, boring for the first 90 minutes and then you wake up with a big car chase until the movie ends. There is your typical "cop " who wants the "bad guy" badly(Haven't we seen that concept a zillion times already ?.) Angelina Jolie's character is unfortunately as empty as the scenes she appears in. Once again, Giovanni Ribisi is cast as a "bad boy"(What a waste of talent) and Robert Duvall sounds like he is extending his role from "Days of Thunder". Let's hope that the reunion Bruckheimer-Michael Bay for the 2001 release of "Pearl harbor" will make us quickly forget this "faux pas".
