An Exercise In Nonsense

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Over the top fun. The Accountant needs his own spinoff movie/show/whatever... just as long as Fichtner is cast in the role. What a gorgeous, exquisitely talented man

Directed by Patrick Lussier, who edited all of Wes Craven's later films and directed the remake of My Bloody Valentine, this film was originally shot to take full advantage of the 3D process. It's as close as a grindhouse film as you're going to get when you're spending $29 million to make a film.John Milton (Cage) died ten years ago and went to Hell, but he's broken out and stolen Satan's gun, The Godkiller, to come back and get revenge against Jonah King (Billy Burke, Lights Out and The Twilight Saga), a cult leader who killed Milton's daughter and plans on killing his granddaughter in order to bring Hell to Earth.On his way to the abandoned Stillwater prison to kill the evil cultist, he runs across Piper (Amber Heard, Mera in the upcoming Justice League, the remake of The Stepfather, Machete Kills), a waitress with bad luck in boyfriends. Directly after telling Milton her boyfriend is a good guy, she catches him in bed with a real estate agent. She kicks the woman's naked ass literally to the curb and attacking her boyfriend, who assaults her. Milton saves her and they make their escape by stealing his 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440.That's when we meet Satan's agent, The Accountant (William Fichtner, as close as we're going to get to a character actor in this day and age). His mission? Get Milton and The Godkiller back to Hell. He carries an Obolos, the coin that the Greeks would put over a dead man's eyes as a payment to Charon, the ferryman for the dead. He can use the coin to become a badge or as a weapon. He kills Piper's boyfriend and takes two cops with him to hunt down Milton.After a night of drinking, both Milton and Piper are hooking up (not with one another, but with folks they found at the bar, though all Piper lets the guy do is paint her nails) when King and his men attack. Milton doesn't even stop having sex with the blonde he's with, shooting and killing numerous men before he gets hit with a taser, which ends up giving her an orgasm — I've never seen that in a movie before!Read more at https://bandsaboutmovies.com/2017/08/28/drive-angry-2011/

The trailer for Drive Angry was a lot of fun!Yes, fun and Ridiculous Cage in the same trailer. Crazy! And as I finally got round to watching, although not in 3D, I must admit it had a less annoying Cage on screen and a lot of fun moments.But its still far from perfect!By far, and as everyone no doubt agrees, William Fichtner as The Accountant is the highlight of the film. His darkly humorous role is worthy of a film itself and he comes in at the right times when the typically Hollywood crap starts to bore you.Not a lot is explained about the main characters which seems to work okay if you are smart enough or don't really care.Drive Angry passes the time. It could almost have passed as Ghost Rider 3 as Cage plays a similar role and the direction, CGI and insane moments are very alike also.Worth a watch, but once is enough!

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.
