Angry Movie Lurker Honest Review 44: Drive Angry 2011 (3 STARS)

The title drew me in as I suffer from passenger anger.

William  Fichtner is quality whenever on the screen.

Amber Heard is in this, it may help.

A vengeful father escapes from hell ( yes you heard right and in a car aswell) and chases after the men who killed his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter.

Nicolas has not done much good work lately and this doesn't help his cause (does he have problems with the IRS? but there was Kick Ass), he breaks out of hell in a car to save his granddaughter from been sacrificed by a lunatic serial killer and his cult of redneck Satanists who want to turn earth into another hell, Cage is pursued by The Accountant who is the Devils right hand man(Fichtner) who is trying to stop Cage but has other motives aswell, a waitress (Heard) accompanies Cage and has more balls and testosterone than nearly the whole cast, the action is over the top and tongue in cheek, it copies the Shoot em Up sex scene, slow motion bullets, there's no real angry driving (although the words are on a licence plate), very nice cars , american heavy metal but Fichtner steals the show with the best lines and cooler than ice, the man could have the lead in this and deserves as much.

The movie scrapes 3 STARS but only for Fichtner and that it was intentionally tongue in cheek and please no sequels with Cage. Amen.
