Review: Drive Angry

Have to say that I really haven't been enjoying Nic's movies lately.

I know he needs the money with all those nasty IRS letters coming in the mail but yknow.. I thought he was a METHOD actor and all.

At any rate.. I really, REALLY liked this one.

Think Desperado minus Selma Hayek plus can cheese and you get the idea.

Beside being BEYOND cheesy, it's raunchy in that 1970's soft porn kind of way.

You can't but love it because nobody acting in this movie is taking it seriously .. if they did, the movie would of sucked. But everybody involved knew what it was and played it over the top.

Oh.. and when they say Shot in 3D? The mean it.. EVERYTHING is practically in 3D.. it was a riot.

Ok .. so basically, the story is this:

Milton (Nicolas Cage) is a man on a mission to hunt down the fake prophet Jonah King (Billy Burke), the guy responsible for killing his daughter and  kidnapping his infant granddaughter with the intent of sacrificing her.

NOTE: you know you're getting old when Nicolas Cage plays a GRANDFATHER for pete's sake!!

Anyway .. along the way he picks up the hot chick Piper (Amanda Heard). But not only is Milton and Piper hunting down Jonah Hill, Milton is also being hunted down by some dude named The Accountant (William Fichtner),

Not for nothing, but The Accountant literally steals every single scene he is in. He needs his own movie.

Look, if you're looking for something deep and meaningful this isn't it. If you're looking to laugh your ass off.. well, you might. The movie has it's moments but it's not a comedy. But if you're just looking for something that you can just sit back and watch without having to utilize any brain cells, then that's what you have here.

If the situation fits, it's the perfect movie to take your 23 year old girlfriend to!!    ROFLMAO!!
