The Accountant says to Milton, "Wouldn't wanna be you when Satan finds out!" Who responds, "What's he gonna do, not let me back in?" See you soon." He and Milton have better chemistry than Milton and Piper. "Would you have killed the baby if he asked?. The Accountant is my favorite character and deserved more screen time.
Her boyfriend Frank is twenty years her senior, and she hangs out with the just as old Nicolas Cage. What an awesome low maintenance girlfriend.
She gets her butt kicked many times but, no matter what, her makeup never smears and she remains as hot as she comes. Piper is the kind of woman only found in fantasies. Milton drives hot cars, kicks ass and big breasted women want to screw him. The gore, swearing, nudity and sex make this an adult film, but it is essentially a teenage boys fantasy. If it's just half as good as this one, it will still be twice as good as most of his movies.ĭrive Angry is rated R fun. This one even hints at the possibility of a sequel and I would certainly see it if they make one. I suppose at the rate Cage churns out movies, he was bound to get lucky eventually and make a good one. Sure the flying bones and guts would still be entertaining in plain old 2-D, but the 3-D does add something. Jonah tells Piper at one point, "I'm going to kill you and then I'm going to defile your corpse." To which Piper replies, "Yeah, well, in-between, I'm going to kick your ass." Later, Jonah tells Milton that, "I'm going to beat you to death with what's left of your daughter", because as it turns out, Jonah has made a cane out of Milton's daughter's femur.Īnd while it seems like every other movie these days is pointlessly in 3-D, with Drive Angry it actually helps, by making it all even cheesier and adding to the sense of retro-fun. It's the kind of scene that makes you laugh at the audacity of it all.Įven the dialogue is both cheesy and funny. He kills or maims several men from various positions and all without ever pulling out or putting down the Jack Daniels bottle that he's also holding. In one particularly memorable moment, Milton engages in a gunfight while having sex. Limbs are shot off and knees blown out with shotgun blasts and all in vibrant 3-D Technicolor. The violence is bloody and to the extreme. When they tell him, "We have a pact with the devil." He sniffs, "Funny, he's never mentioned you." In his pursuit of Milton he comes across some of the Satanists, whom he dismisses easily. His imperturbable, suited character is both funny and menacing. It's a part that Heard plays to perfection, bringing the right amount of country sass and sex appeal to the role.Ĭhasing Milton is The Accountant (played by a scene-stealing William Fichtner), an emissary from Hell, whose job it is to bring Milton back with him. You know the kind, the big breasted blonde with the southern accent and the cut-off shorts that are so tight you can read the dates on the coins in the pocket. Piper is one of those gorgeous waitresses that only exists in the movies who inexplicably works in a road stop diner. Milton soon meets up with the smoking hot Piper (Heard), the owner of the Dodge Charger, who agrees to give him a ride to where he's going. It's King's intent to sacrifice the baby to Satan in three day's time, with the hope that this will start a new time of Hell on earth. It seems that Milton's daughter got involved with a satanic cult, but when she wanted to get out of it, she was murdered by Jonah King, the cult's leader. Milton is on a mission to revenge his recently murdered daughter and rescue his baby grand-daughter at the same time, and he's not going let a little thing like being dead stop him.
The story opens with John Milton's (Cage) escape from prison, although as the clue from his name indicates, this is no ordinary prison. Its tale of revenge from beyond the grave is a thrill ride in the driver's seat of a souped up '69 Dodge Charger. This is the kind of over-the-top violent and silly movie that normally you would have to visit a drive-in to see. However, unlike most of his recent output, this one is fun and entertaining. Nicolas Cage only seems to make B-movies these days and Drive Angry is no exception. Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard in Drive Angry.
