    This movie should have only been 'Sixty Seconds...

    If you were to take Gone in Sixty Seconds, and remove anything that even remotely looks like a plot, good acting, and direction, you would be left with a movie, and I use the term very loosely, called R.P.M. And the strange thing is, this movie was made way back in 1997! So I guess you could say that Jerry Bruckheimer got the idea for ‘Sixty Seconds from R.P.M…..Naw. Starring David Arquette and Famke Janssen, this `movie' is set in the south of France where Arquette is hired to steal the prototype of a gasless car named R.P.M. (Deciding the name of the car must have taken a whole 2 minutes.). Arquette and Janssen soon find themselves out for the same thing, and their `chemistry' between each other is very hard to swallow at times, all the way up to the ‘secret' they share with us by the end of the movie. Everything about this movie is wrong. From the acting, and again I use that term loosely, to the unrealistic one billion dollar paycheck for the R.P.M. If there is to be any redeeming qualities of this entire movie, I must admit that Famke Janssen is looking as beautiful as usual.

    It is this reviewers opinion to spare yourself the humiliation of actually paying money to rent this, and wait until it comes on regular t.v., not even HBO, and watch it in the privacy of your own home.

    You just don't understand

    This is a funny movie starring David Arquette and Famke Janssen about stealing cars. They are not just trying to steal any car though. Their main objective is to obtain a car called the RPM that is supposed to be a car that runs without fuel. More than that I think it is simply to be about the antics that take place.

    This is one of those movies that isn't supposed to be picked apart and taken seriously. It has bad acting, effects, direction, etc. on purpose. It is made to be funny. Has anyone ever seen a movie from the decade called the 80's. By the way, this wasn't an inspiration for "Gone in 60 seconds". Gone in 60 seconds was a remake of the film Gone in 60 seconds (1970 i believe). That is also a film that is so bad that it is fun to watch.

    Cheap production not helped by poor script and awful acting.

    A professional American car thief goes to France to steal a prototype super car from an international car show for his oil baron/mobster boss - who sees the launch of this new alternative fuel vehicle as a major threat to his business.

    Laughably cheap, unexciting, uninspiring caper not helped by poor casting, awful acting and a silly script.

    the only plus points to this are the occasional nice car not forgetting the breathtaking scenery of the south of France. Its no surprise this film sat on the shelf for years without distribution.

    One can only assume the likes of Famke Janssen and David Arquette quite desperately needed the money when they made this turkey.

    A pathetic flop of a film

    "R.P.M.", a silly saga with David Arquette as an international car thief, can't manage to get itself out of park. From casting to acting to simple props and stunts and everything in between, "R.P.M." is a loser. The only good thing in this film is Emmanuelle Seigner who seems awkwardly out of place and in need of a good script.

    the worst film ever!!!!!!!!

    this film is the worst one i have ever watched in my life ever and i mean ever.

    from the minute i put it on it was crap i only watched ten minutes off it and had to turn it off i took it back and told them to take it off the shelf it should have not been allowed too even put on the shelf

    the film should have been burnt

    it said on the front fast and the furious verse gone in 60 seconds i don't think so it should not even been matched up to them two film it is not even in the same category

    i have seen better school play that i have been too
