Things started off with a ’69 Charger and when that got ruined, Cage had a choice between a Chevelle or Camaro.The music in the movie was as cool as the cars.

It’s a shame they drove so “angry” in this movie because I loved all the cars. A bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand, gun in the other cigar dangling from the mouth…and April Wine’s "I Like to Rock" blasting on the stereo (How was Charlie Sheen not cast in this role?) I mean, who doesn’t think it’s cool to see Cage sleeping with a waitress at the “Bull by the Balls” bar, and as 10 people break into his room he shoots them while she’s on top of him. It’s a grindhouse picture that purposely goes over the top with nudity and gratuitous violence.If you had fun with a movie like Piranha 3-D or Machete, this is right up your alley. This is the type of movie that’s porn to Quentin Tarantino. His daughter was murdered by a cult leader and at the next full moon they plan to sacrifice the baby.William Fichtner, always an interesting character, plays the man from Hell sent to bring Cage back.The cast is rounded out by Amber Heard ( Zombieland) as the hot and sassy waitress. Here’s the premise: Nicolas Cage escapes from Hell to save his granddaughter. I’m guessing the theaters ran out of letters for their marquee on that one. Although, Drive Angry does work better than the last movie I saw Cage in … Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans. It’s certainly a lot better than Drive Angry. This is a man that used to get Oscar nominations and do interesting work.Ĭage made Racing with the Moon with Sean Penn, and Penn has called him out for the horrible films he’s done recently.And Racing with the Moon is a title that would’ve worked for this movie. Well, that’s kind of like Nicolas Cage’s career. You try debate whether you should throw thousands of dollars into restoring it and putting some Detroit muscle back into the car. You know that old classic car your uncle has sitting in the backyard collecting rust? You take it out for a spin and it barely runs, sometimes stalls and ends up crapping out on the side of the road.
