        "Give me one good reason I shouldn't shoot you in the face." "I'm Driving." So goes the dialogue in this damn fine entertaining movie. Drive Angry is completely over the top, one of the few newer Nicholas Cage films I like. He's at his dead-pan best here as an escapee from hell. This is a ramapge of redemption, a sweet and salty southern receipe made delicious by its glorious excess. If you liked Ghost Rider, which I didn't, this is a lot better. Its a hellacious beat-down (pun intended). Amber Heard is too sexy to be believed and a complete bad-ass to boot. I also love the way Fichter's and Cage's characters interact. I'm not sure the original John Milton would approve of the hell-on-earth story, but its worth the price of admission. How can anycritic claim this film is tedious? Its ridiculous and absurd yet entertaining as neo-grindhouse is intended.

        [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] The only positive aspect of Drive Angry is the engaging supporting performance of William Fichtner's, but other than that, this is nothing other than totally repulsive garbage. I think it's safe to say that we've all got used to the idea of Nic Cage appearing in trash like this, and we've accepted it because sometimes it's the only redeeming feature of the ridiculously film's he appears in. But I will say there were only two reasons I kept watching the film, because it is so badly plotted, so predictable and so stupid, and it was simply to ponder at the mystery as to why Nic Cage took the role in it, and to see if it would turn out as catastrophic as Death Proof. Other than that, there is no reason to see this movie. It's nothing you haven't seen before even if your looking for trashy exploitation. Firstly it's narrative is incredibly laughable and has no charm whatsoever, and it's attitude towards women is appauling. The action sequences are somehow unbelievably dull, even despite the fact it bombards you with set piece after set piece and extreme amounts of repetitive explosions. So aside from the fact that it's directed badly, acted terribly and has a script that appears to have been written by an adolescent 12 year old. It also features an annoying array of unrealistic characters, an inconsequential narrative and doesn't even work on the lowest common denominator action B movie thriller level. It's a less self-indulgent grindhouse movie than Death Proof, but that doesn't even improve it in any sense really. It's unspeakably awful.

        Few films are made as intentionally bad as Drive Angry is. It revels in cheap, exploitation cinema, and gratuitous sex and violence. The plot's straight out of a B-movie; Milton breaks out of Hell in order to save his granddaughter from being sacrificed by a devil worshiping cult. Nicolas Cage completely phones in his performance and Amber Heard overacts every scene. But William Fichtner's performance is spectacular, and adds a tremendous amount of fun and charisma to the film. If Drive Angry had committed a little more, it might have been so bad it's good; but the film's too self-aware of how bad it's trying to be.
