Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The Grand Master Nicolas Cage is not the awesome actor he used to be nowadays. For the past several years his career has hit the wall and he has found himself in a lot of mediocre to poor movies that barely rate a mention. Today Nicolas Cage is a far cry from the actor who used to be one of my top 5 favourite actors growing up. On my list Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997), Face/Off (1997), Adaptation (2002) and Matchstick Men (2003) were certainly his most memorable movies. Drive Angry was certainly not a highlight for Nicolas Cage. This brainless car wreck of a movie was just awful. Drive Angry is another one of those movies that I disliked so much that I just could not persist with this movie right to the finish.John Milton (Nicolas Cage) manages to escape from hell after Satanist cult members led by Jonah King (Billy Burke) murder his daughter and take her baby with intention of sacrificing the baby. With the help of a waitress named Piper (Amber Heard). To stop the sacrifice going ahead, Milton and Piper tear through the highways in a 1971 red Chevrolet Chevelle SS that Milton has been given. To complicate further matters, Satan's merciless henchman known as The Accountant (William Fichtner) who is also disguised as a FBI agent has been sent to rein Milton back into hell.This was one of the most disappointing and unmemorable movies for Nicolas Cage. His movies are just a joke now, and as an actor I have lost faith in him. The plot is a complete mess and a total disaster. As I said at the start, I could not be bothered finishing the movie. Everything about Drive Angry was bad.Save your money and save your brain cells, because Drive Angry is one of those movies that you should not waste your time with. 1/10.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Nicolas Cage Week: Day 2Drive Angry is an hour and a half of beautiful, blissful exploitation and carnage, a grind house shot to the gut that never holds back, doesn't care an ounce about logic, and aims to do one thing: ensure the viewers enjoyment unconditionally. Nicolas Cage plays John Milton, a gruff badass who escapes from hell by literally charging his '74 Chevelle 454 right through the gate, hot on the pursuit of a roaming band of thugs who know what happened to his daughter and baby grandson. He wastes no second in pummelling both pavement with his tires and people with his fists, and pretty much any gun or blunt object he can get his hands on. His daughter was murdered, and his grandson kidnapped by a demented Louisiana satanist cult, led by eloquent monster Jonah King (Billy Burke, dryly subverting his nice guy image with evil aplomb). Milton aims to eradicate anyone and everyone who gets in his way, with the help of sexy Amher Heard and old pal David Morse. What he isn't prepared for is the arrival of 'The Accountant' (William Fichtner), the devil's suave, soft spoken bounty hunter, dispatched to bring Milton back to the fiery depths. Fichtner has always had an ice cool theatrical flair to his work, and he's the highlight of the film here, an unphased, silky prick, owning every moment with his unmistakable brand of cool. Tom Atkins also has a cameo as the worlds most enthusiastic Highway Patrol officer. The movie goes at full blast, and to go along with that energy there's a cheeky script that constantly nods at the viewer and let's us know what a fan of the genre the filmmakers are. Nowhere else can you see Nic Cage escape from hell, drink from the skull of his enemy and have a gunfight while in the middle of banging a bar waitress. If that isn't enough to get you excited, well...

SnoopyStyle Milton (Nicolas Cage) is hunting Satanic cult leader Jonah King (Billy Burke) who murdered his daughter and kidnapped her baby. Jonah is about to sacrifice the baby in 3 day's time. Milton gets a ride off of roadside diner waitress Piper (Amber Heard). Meanwhile Milton is pursued by the powerful Accountant (William Fichtner).It's all pumping music and overblown action with a splash of female nudity. Amber Heard is strutting around in her Daisy Dukes. There is a lot to like, but the story isn't that compelling. It is a simplistic balls-out no-holds-bar vulgar entertainment. It's not going to win any awards, but it's good for the midnight crowd.

videorama-759-859391 I gotta give credit to this movie, it's title for starters. I love refreshing stories that make original films. Drive Angry fits that bill. Action star Cage, has excelled again, in bringing us sure rapid fire entertainment, and that's exactly what you get with Drive Angry. Though not one of Cage's best performances, which did earn him raspberry status, the cool, calm, collective Cage is always fun to watch. Somehow, he always involves us, a man on a mission. Here, his mission, is to snatch his baby granddaughter from a religious cult, with only few days to do so. If failing to find her, what will result, is basically a hell on earth, as the infant, is to be sacrificed, for evil purposes. We have heavy doses of violence, so over the top, it isn't funny, amongst some shocks and surprises in a darn original story that never lets up. Featuring some quite nasty characters, none more than Billy Burke, the stealer of this show, (what else has this guy done?) as the evil religious leader, who you can't wait to see square off with Cage, you've got 100 minutes of compulsive viewing with a nice little twist at the end. William Fichter is great and commandingly cool, as The Accountant, a sort of guardian angel figure to Cage, who at first, you think is really one of the bad guys. Amber Heard adds sexy female involvement to this tale. An exciting action spectacle and movie experience like this, is something you don't wanna miss, believe me. It almost should be mandatory, in fact.
