Frivolous treatment of the supernatural, intense, sometimes grotesque gun, knife and sexual violence, graphic sexual encounters, full-frontal female nudity, pervasive rough, crude and crass language. He’s accompanied by a potty-mouthed waitress (Amber Heard), and trailed by an ever-so-polite fallen angel (William Fichtner). In director and co-writer Patrick Lussier’s noisy story - which manages to affront audiences on every level - doomed soul Nicolas Cage escapes from hell and travels through the desolate American West on a mission to rescue his infant granddaughter from being sacrificed by a Satanic cult. I loved the holy hell out of Drive Angry, and if youre still reading this review, the smart money says you will too. Its howlingly funny, gruesome, hyperviolent, and just shamelessly sleazy and exploitative at every possible turn. Over-the-top, hyper-violent 3-D action flick weaving a vendetta theme into a demonic road trip narrative. Drive Angry is exactly the movie it sets out to be. More reviews are available online at – – – Jensen is a guest reviewer for Catholic News Service. The Motion Picture Association of America rating R - restricted. The Catholic News Service classification is O –morally offensive. The film contains frivolous treatment of the supernatural, intense, sometimes grotesque gun, knife and sexual violence, graphic sexual encounters, full-frontal female nudity and pervasive rough, crude and crass language. Instead, “Drive Angry” manages to affront audiences on every possible level, and leaves the viewer feeling as pummeled as the loser of a bar brawl. If this project offered genuine wit or at least dialogue less foul - and if the gratuitous nudity and bloody violence had been excised - it would have had some possibilities as diverting, if largely mindless, entertainment. He’s also in on the secret that Milton’s most powerful gun - blasphemously nicknamed the Godkiller - was stolen from the Evil One’s own stash. Milton is accompanied by Piper (Amber Heard), a potty-mouthed waitress he rescues from an abusive fiance, and trailed by a demon dubbed - with an eye to current economic difficulties, perhaps? - The Accountant (William Fichtner).Įver so polite, The Accountant occasionally forestalls Milton’s attackers with destructive pyrotechnics of his own. But this over-the-top, hyper-violent mess of a 3-D action flick turns out to be far more lost than paradisiacal.ĭirector Patrick Lussier, who co-wrote with Todd Farmer, serves up a noisy, predictable story about Milton’s journey through the desolate American West on a mission to rescue his infant granddaughter from being sacrificed by a Satanic cult. And it is this unpredictable journey into the world of the undead that makes this drive a crazy ride.NEW YORK (CNS) - “Drive Angry” (Summit) gives a nod to “Paradise Lost,” the classic 17th-century epic poem about the once-angelic Satan and his role in the fall of man, by naming Nicolas Cage’s character - a vengeful doomed soul who escapes from hell - John Milton. The film is brimming over with characters that are dead and alive characters who can only be slowed down by bullets, not felled.
Great fun.īut more than all this, there is the third dimension in the plot too that makes for interesting viewing. The bullets literally fly out at you and make you go ducking for cover. The reason being its high octane action sequences which somehow seem to work better in the 3D. But Drive Angry isn't too bad, despite having nothing big to offer. Movie Review: Nicholas Cage has been making some insignificant movies of late. Or is he actually trying to help the troubled twosome? Piper (Amber Heard) a spunky waitress joins him in his mission which has another mysterious player, the Accountant (William Fichtner) trying to stall it. Story: John Milton (Nicholas Cage) is a mysterious man who is determined to find the killers of his daughter and rescue his infant grandkid from the clutches of this Satanic cult that wants to sacrifice her.
