Turn off your phone. Turn up the volume. And remember: "If you're gonna ride, ride in style."

Milton doesn’t care about the apocalypse. He cares about a shotgun and a very specific itinerary. Drive Angry

Hot on his heels is “The Accountant” (William Fichtner), a mysterious, silver-tongued man in a white suit who works for the devil. The Accountant isn’t there to stop Milton—he’s there to bring him back . Their cat-and-mouse game is less The Fugitive and more Looney Tunes if Bugs Bunny smoked cigarettes and quoted Machiavelli. 1. The Cage-ian Energy This is peak, uncut, 100% pure grade-A Cage. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s a gravelly whisper that sounds like a dump truck full of gravel driving over a bag of feral cats. He reloads a shotgun while having sex. He drinks bourbon while driving 120mph. He stares at the moon with the quiet rage of a man who literally has nothing left to lose. He cares about a shotgun and a very specific itinerary

Remember when every movie was slapping post-conversion 3D on the poster? Drive Angry actually shot with 3D cameras. And they use it for the stupidest, most glorious reasons. Bullets fly at the screen. Blood splashes at the lens. At one point, a lit cigar is thrown directly at the viewer. It is a gimmick, but it’s an honest gimmick. The Verdict Let’s be clear: Drive Angry is not The Godfather . It is not Citizen Kane . It is a movie where Nicolas Cage fights a man with a crossbow while his car is doing a flip.

And that’s just the first ten minutes. Cage plays Milton, a hardened criminal who broke out of the underworld for one reason: revenge. A cult led by the terrifyingly calm Jonah King (Billy Burke) murdered Milton’s daughter and plans to use the baby’s blood to bring about the apocalypse.
