There are no real dull or dark moments, and only a few instances where it feels like the gimmick it actually is. The film is of the rare breed of actually being filmed in 3D as opposed to being post-converted, and you can tell in just how much stronger and better it looks as a result. All it wants is for you to strap in and enjoy the ride.A lot of the fun and enjoyment comes from the 3D more than I would like to admit. It was never meant to look or act like an Oscar-winner. There is next to nothing to take seriously in Drive Angry 3D. There is an almost automatic comparison to Grindhouse and more specifically, Death Proof, and it is well warranted. Right after its gory and explosion-filled opening, you get one ridiculous set piece after the next, moving at a near delirious speed through some of the most over-the-top sequences of the last decade. Just looking at the trailer should have suggested exactly what kind of film you were in for, and this one delivers at all turns. As he hunts and searches for King, he brings the gorgeous Piper Amber Heard along for the ride to assist him in his quest.Drive Angry 3D was unfairly trampled by critics when it was released just under a month ago, and it is a real shame it never was able to find a true audience.

Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R - restricted.
The Catholic News Service classification is O - morally offensive. 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. Over-the-top, hyper-violent 3-D action flick weaving a vendetta theme into a demonic road trip narrative. 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. 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.
