You won't be disappointed!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The acting in this movie is really good.

This movie is just pure fun from beginning to end! Nic Cage escapes from Hell, that's all you need to know, oh and this is no Ghost Rider 2! Nic Cage might not be awesome all the time, but when he is... oh boy!!

Directed by Patrick Lussier, who edited all of Wes Craven's later films and directed the remake of My Bloody Valentine, this film was originally shot to take full advantage of the 3D process. It's as close as a grindhouse film as you're going to get when you're spending $29 million to make a film.John Milton (Cage) died ten years ago and went to Hell, but he's broken out and stolen Satan's gun, The Godkiller, to come back and get revenge against Jonah King (Billy Burke, Lights Out and The Twilight Saga), a cult leader who killed Milton's daughter and plans on killing his granddaughter in order to bring Hell to Earth.On his way to the abandoned Stillwater prison to kill the evil cultist, he runs across Piper (Amber Heard, Mera in the upcoming Justice League, the remake of The Stepfather, Machete Kills), a waitress with bad luck in boyfriends. Directly after telling Milton her boyfriend is a good guy, she catches him in bed with a real estate agent. She kicks the woman's naked ass literally to the curb and attacking her boyfriend, who assaults her. Milton saves her and they make their escape by stealing his 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440.That's when we meet Satan's agent, The Accountant (William Fichtner, as close as we're going to get to a character actor in this day and age). His mission? Get Milton and The Godkiller back to Hell. He carries an Obolos, the coin that the Greeks would put over a dead man's eyes as a payment to Charon, the ferryman for the dead. He can use the coin to become a badge or as a weapon. He kills Piper's boyfriend and takes two cops with him to hunt down Milton.After a night of drinking, both Milton and Piper are hooking up (not with one another, but with folks they found at the bar, though all Piper lets the guy do is paint her nails) when King and his men attack. Milton doesn't even stop having sex with the blonde he's with, shooting and killing numerous men before he gets hit with a taser, which ends up giving her an orgasm — I've never seen that in a movie before!Read more at https://bandsaboutmovies.com/2017/08/28/drive-angry-2011/

Drive Angry (2011): Dir: Patrick Lussier / Cast: Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Billy Burke, David Morse: Pointless and brutally excessive road kill about vengeance. Nicolas Cage plays a sorry sap who drives out of Hell in search of the cult that murdered his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter. Apparently this cult, lead by the psychotic Jonah King, is set to sacrifice the baby at the next full moon. He is joined on his quest by a waitress who obviously has nothing better to do. After he intervenes when she is being beat up by her cheating boyfriend, she gladly tags along. This is all very stupid but director Patrick Lussier presents some fantastic 3D effects. The film takes on an appeal very similar to the Grindhouse films only this sucks. Cage spends much of the film either driving fast or shooting cultist. What fails here is that his escape from Hell is pure nonsense, and his shootout while in the midst of sex is even less believable. Amber Heard as his waitress companion seems to come from a long list of women since Angelina Jolie who can kick the crap out of people. She is never believable but she puts on this bullshit "I'm with you all the way" nonsense. William Fichtner plays Satan's accountant who is out to bring Cage back to Hell. Why Satan has an accountant is never known. Billy Burke plays Jonah King who is basically a target for a nasty departure. David Morse, a capable actor, is also wasted in this hellish trash. The Biblical or supernatural elements are laughable enough to make viewers want to drive angry right over the film in full speed. Score: 3 / 10

Although the two movies have almost zero in common other than the word in the title, Nicolas Cage's Drive Angry made me a lot less angry than Ryan Gosling's Drive. But, then, I have very little patience for extremely slow moving "disguised action" movies, such as the latter.Drive Angry absolutely wasn't anywhere near as bad as it should've been. Sure, I would've liked to see one or more Cage Outbursts he's known for and he had little to none here, and the obvious 3D effects stood out like a sore thumb in the 2D version I saw, but for the most part, I had fun.Mostly thanks to William Fichtner's The Account character. What was funny about him was that when he first showed up on screen, I rolled my eyes at the overexposure I've seen of him lately. Thankfully, my attitude changed 100% in two seconds of him on screen. He became as likable and funny as Tom Hiddleston's Loki from the Marvel Avenger films.From that moment – when he arrived very early in the movie, I waited each scene for The Accountant to pop up again. Not that the rest of the movie was just okay, he just lit up the screen and if you see his character, or Fichtner's portrayal, you will most likely agree.So we have an escaped con from down under and he's being chased down by The Accountant while he's chasing down his infant grandchild being held captive by a cult. Meanwhile, Piper, a blonde, is along for the ride. No real motivation for her being the film or the sidekick to the con played by Cage, but, maybe because, uh, she's a blonde.The action was fun, the lines okay and the direction straight, which I prefer in these types of sly action R-rated fair. Many times they try to overcomplicate films likes these and lose a lot of the target audience that would be attracted to it. Mercifully, they knew it was just a little higher-budget B-movie and never strayed.Not perfect, but a fun Saturday Night, stay-in flick.* * * Final thoughts: Every once in a while, the gang over at the hilarious How Did This Get Made podcast will throw me a curveball. Typically, actually, more accurately, 90% of the movies they cover for their show that they spend an hour or so ridiculing, are bad…REALLY bad. And while they do love to include Cage in all his outbursts, this movie, again, had little of those Cage moments that I've come to love. "OH, NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, THEY'RE IN MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAGGHHH!" anyone? Finally, the podcast did point out some funny moments and proved that, yeah, it is a B-movie, but I still had a blast here. If not just overall, Fichtner would be enough to sell me on this.
