![]() However, if you enter the movie already aware of that, you are in for a mindless good time to forget the world - you will enjoy the movie to its fullest. Drive Angry is very explicit in its violence, nudity, and gratuitous sexual encounters. To say that Drive Angry is a movie that everyone would enjoy would not be correct. So much so, that you are left a bit dazed and confused when the film is over - the 3D glasses are taken off, and you are thrust back into the real world. The depth created by the 3D camera adds that final punch to the film that makes you truly immersed in the world of Milton and company. However, Drive Angry is a movie that was born to be shot and presented and 3D. Over the past year, most movies have been either filmed or post-processed into 3D to jump on the latest film-going bandwagon. With a body count higher than Commando, Lussier has created the ultimate shoot-em-up fest for the modern moviegoer. ![]() Lussier is normally known for his work in the horror genre but has gone all out to give the audience a vibrant and fun movie that resonates on so many different levels. I see a lot more action movies to come for the lovely and talented Amber Heard.ĭrive Angry is written and directed by Patrick Lussier ( Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine). He is supported by an amazing cast featuring William Fichtner ( Go) Amber Heard ( Zombieland) and Billy Burke ( Untraceable), who actually steals some scenes from Cage. However, Drive Angry does not just rest on the laurels of Cage's performance. Cage plays Milton and expresses the right emotions and actions that one would expect for a character such as Milton. There are very few roles that Nicolas Cage can actually act well, and this is most certainly one of them. The premise seemed likely enough to be a decent film - Milton (Nicolas Cage The Rock) breaks out of hell to save his granddaughter and to avenge the death of his daughter.įast forward eight months to Febru- Drive Angry is released to audiences in North America who are probably not prepared for the thrill ride they are about to get.and that thrill ride is simply delightful!ĭrive Angry is a gritty, no-holds-bar action thriller harkening back to the grindhouse film days of the 1970s. But ultimately, this was a movie that we both enjoyed, and I’ll end up buying to watch again.The first I heard of Drive Angry, I was attending Comic-Con 2010. I don’t know what Drive Angry sets you up for, but I imagine it turns some viewers off-Derrick, for example. Derrick’s favorite character was The Accountant, played by William Fichtner (who we know best from Entourage, Go, The Dark Knight, but he’s in a ton of stuff-you’d recognize him if you saw him).Ībout forty minutes into the movie, Derrick looked over at me and asked, “Do you think this movie had the wrong title?” This is a legitimate question. Nicholas Cage is believable, both tough and compassionate. Drive Angry is an over-the-top (purposefully, mind you!) hilarious action movie originally filmed in 3D (expect some of 3D’s cheesy antics, stuff flying at the screen, etc.) There are lots of explosions (YAY!) and goon killings. Derrick thought I was crazy, but he skeptically went along with me.ĭrive Angry is probably one of my favorite movies I’ve seen this year…I know 2012 hasn’t been around very long, but still! I don’t want to go into any specifics about plot or characters because I think the surprise worked in the movie’s favor for us. I wanted something fun that we didn’t have to think about too much. I didn’t want to pick out a comedy-or rather a comedy that was SUPPOSED to be a comedy. But Nic Cage hasn’t steered us wrong lately (I take that back a few months ago, I DID shut off Season of the Witch 10 minutes in). ![]() I don’t remember ever seeing a trailer for it. I remember seeing the title on our theatre’s marquee last year. I suggested several other movies (which I won’t name in case they end up being reviewed), but I was most excited about Drive Angry. I carried it around the store with me, and Derrick thought I was crazy for thinking this could be our Friday night movie. That would never happen to me in Greensboro!) Trying to select a Blu-Ray instead of a DVD narrowed the field a little bit, and I chose Drive Angry early on as a possible contender. Derrick was recognized twice by old high school friends (this IS a small town. We took our time in the store, which was a comfortable temperature and was pretty busy for a Friday night. 142K ratings 5.4 /10 Currently Out of Stock: Well get more as soon as possible Notify Me When Available Add to Wishlist Format: Blu-ray (2 Discs) item number: 66GSA FAST N CHEAP Shipping starting at 4.99 Brand New 30-day returns DRIVE ANGRY 3D - Trailer Also released as: Drive Angry for 8. ![]() We traded in Bridesmaids last night for an in-store movie.
