This is a cheesy guy flick filled with hot chicks, awesome cars, guns and a badass soundtrack to boot. For some reason it reminds me of the movie "Shoot em Up" probably because both movies are about a baby.
Nicolas Cage stars as John Milton, a haunted father who escapes from Hell to avenge the death of his daughter and rescue his granddaughter from satanic cult leader who is about to sacrifice the infant under a full moon.
The movie co-stars the gorgeous Amber Heard as Piper, a foul mouthed reluctant companion, Billy Burke as Jonah King, the stereotypical bad guy and William Fichtner in a scene stealing role as the Devil's right hand man called 'The Accountant'. It turns out that Hell is just a big prison for wrong doers and sometimes criminals’ breakout but they are always brought back in though by Fichtner who hunts them down and sends them back to Hell.
When Milton finds out what King has done he of course breaks out of Hell and hunts King down. He does so with the help of a young waitress named Piper (Heard) and the two head off down the Louisiana highway in a stolen 1969 Dodge Charger. The whole time he of course has to elude 'The Accountant' who's hot in hot pursuit.
Drive Angry is an unapologetic, crass, loud piece of work with nothing but mayhem on its mind but oh soooo much fun to look at….I don't regret the time wasted watching this one!
