Review of Drive Angry

Drive Angry (2011)
Over the top and absurd and not in a good way.
6 June 2011
John Milton (Nicolas Cage) is a criminal who has broken out of Hell to kill Jonah King (Billy Burke), a cult leader who tricked Milton's daughter into joining his followers in the wake of Milton's death, only to kill her and her husband and steal their baby daughter - Milton's granddaughter - to be sacrificed in a Satanist ritual.

Drive Angry is a mix of exploitation film and grindhouse and although it can be entertaining, the film is mediocre at best. There's the usual over the top and absurd action, and Amber Heard serves as marvelous eye candy but other then that, the film hasn't that much going for it. This kind of films have a very specific target audience, and if you're looking for a film with something more, a little substance, this is definitely not for you. This is one of those silly pop-corn flicks you watch on a Friday night with your girlfriend.

This one is definitely a pass. And ignore the fact that it's in 3D, that's a gimmick that doesn't make up for a very flimsy plot and overall mediocre film.
