Awful, really really sh**.

There was a lot of potential in here. I liked the environment and the idea of the story, though I did not like Cage. He was in his usual nothing special state. William Fichtner was marv and Amber Heard's got nicely active part. The story eventually sucked, tough lines mostly missed they tarket, the effects were glued on and action staged badly. And it looked like they shoot more in studio than outdoors, including car chases. Some amount of bad nudity.

Has it's moments and William Fichtner is my Kevin Bacon! But with lines like "Two days is like a decade in horny fucker years", "He fucked me while he killed them, I've never tried that before" and a song named "Fuck the Pain Away" it kind of sets the tone!

not quite as crazy and balls-to-the-wall as you'd hope, but still pretty much delivers on what it promises; william fichtner steals the show, but amber heard is surprisingly credible in stock tuff-girl role

When Nicolas Cage is simultaneously fucking a hooker, taking swigs of Jim Beam and shooting people in the face in a hotel room, this movie is pretty entertaining. That's about all I have to say, really.

Um, Nicolas Cage fucks a woman while swigging Jim Beam and shooting people, Amber Heard beats up a naked chick, William Fichtner plays a henchman for the devil and stabs a guy to death with a baseball bat, there's a gun called the "Godkiller" which destroys people's souls...what's not to like here?

Beyond terrible. Not even fun terrible. Just weird and bizarre. The action scenes are insane, the effects are awful, and Nic Cage is just so creepy now.

I just can't even believe it.

This is a 0 and a 100 at the same time, so a 50.

The film spends its entire running time trying to justify itself as an exploitation film, but for all its nudity and Nicolas Cage's hairpiece, it feels synthetic and hollow instead of being an entertaining and ridiculous sleazefest.

Nicholas Cage literally breaks out of hell to avenge his daughter's death and save his granddaughter from being sacrificed by a group of religious nutters. It sounds like such an insane/awesome premise for a movie. Unfortunately it doesn't quite fulfil its potential. It's a decent watch that doesn't take itself too seriously, however I can't help but feel it could have been a whole lot better.

Worth a watch

Don't be confused by the rating; while this movie is bad, it embraces it and works toward it. It's terrible, but it's the most fun piece of trash I've ever seen. The blatant 3D effects become hilarious if you're watching it in 2D.

A healthy handful of garbage sprinkled with shredded ham, also known as William Fichtner's bombastic but occasionally droll role. The metal soundtrack is criminally generic and the action scenes are yawn-worthy. Nicolas Cage is tragically subdued and uninteresting, and nobody else really gives a stab at taking up the crazy-reins. It's a petulant film made for 12-year-old boys who think this is what 17-year-old boys like to watch, and thusly must attempt to enjoy. A waste.

eng; [drive angry]; ein vater will den tod seiner tochter rächen und seine enkelin vor einem satanisten retten.; (nicolas cage trägt den film, coole tanklaster-szene);

nick cage as a badass (no, really?) who comes back from hell, it's been done, but not enough to make me nor the majority of the rest of the population bored with the concept. there's an evil/crazy cult and a kick ass supernatural gun. thus, a popcorn action flick is born.

"Drive Angry", along with "Machete", "Planet Terror" and "Pirahna", is leading the way for the revival of the Grindhouse/Exploitation genre.

I wouldn't call Drive Angry a good movie. It sets out what it attempts to do: make and over-the-top grindhouse film of absurdity. However Nicolas Cage is nothing special. Thankfully William Fichtner is absolutely superb and every single scene he is in is an absolute highlight and makes the film worth seeing once. Plus Amber Heard is pretty hot so that's cool.

This movie is so dumb. This movie is so awesome. I try to have good taste, I really do, but this movie is exactly what I want. Nicolas Cage is in fine form as he drives sweet cars, and bangs women, drinks, smokes cigars, and gets into violent gunfights, literally all at the same time. It's so hilariously insane that I can't believe anyone could hate it.

Honestly I thought all the acclaim for Drive was for this film so I saw it first.

Nic Cage is a crazy dude and once again OMG Amber Heard.

See, this is tricky to rate. It's very stupid and has it's bad bits, but it all but waves at the camera whilst doing them. Nicolas Cage is on his "good crazy" vibe here and Amber Heard is pretty. The real saving grace of the film is William Fitchtner. I'd be happy to see a sequal around him and his character. If you want an action film that doesn't hang around too long, try this. If that's faint praise, well, look at the score.

This movie is literally a 15 year old boy

William Fichtner is awesome and when he is on screen the movie is solid. The rest of the time is obviously bad, but also not very entertaining. Not fun enough to be good stupid fun.

This movie is cheesy, stupid, cheaply made, unoriginal, and in every single definition of the word, completely, abjectly excessive. It does exactly what it sets out to do: it gets the blood pumping whilst making me laugh at the ridiculousness of the whole affair. It also out-Spawns Spawn. Therefore I love it.

Yes it's bad, but at least it's honest. Fichtner was fun. In fact the movie was mostly fun, as long as you realise the filmmakers have their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks. God I hope so anyway, because the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

This movie has a couple of so-ridiculous-it's-kind-of-cool moments. And William Fichtner also raises the score considerably with his awesomeness. But do not be fooled: this movie is pretty bad, and not in a good way.

Pretty good, nothing amazing, but it's worth a watch --unless the words "French film" give you a little prick in your pants. And the sex/fight scene is amazing...

If all you want out of a movie is over-the-top action, then Drive Angry might not disappoint. If you want more substance, then you'll want to avoid this film like the plague, and go search out something else. Since it feels like a Terminator movie anyway, why don't you go watch one of those? At least they didn't completely rely on formula plotting or 3D gimmicks.

Ok, this might be just a well made copy of From Dusk Till Dawn, Death Proof and other grindhouse features, or a vehicle for some hotties, muscle cars and bloody sequences, but I respect it for its total uncompromise -- and for Nic Cage finally assuming his talent for campy roles, you know, like this great Milton, that manages to bang a girl while shooting some bad guys.

Tries very hard to be a modern grindhouse film but never feels like the real deal, especially compared to Hobo with a Shotgun or Death Proof. All the elements are there but they just don't gel into a fun movie.

He finally did it! It took god knows how many horrible attempts, but Nicolas Cage finally made an enjoyable B-movie! Sure, its moronic and has a few lazy action scene but it also has a truly joyous tone with Fichtner as the main attraction.

This is not a good movie. But god damn if it isn't a fun one.

42.250

A tepid ride of nonplussment which on paper merely runs through a checklist of genre clichés, but on screen manages to combine these into a woefully ill-executed car crash of B-grade unoriginality. Nicolas Cage is simply terrible in this role, but it's the action sequences which stand out for their lack of visual flair and poor or by-the-numbers execution. It has a few ballsy moments, but these are nullified by drinking a beer out of a skull (clearly the epitome of cool in the director's eyes).

How can you dislike a film where Nicolas Cage plays a white trash escapee from hell on a rampage fighting a satan worshipping elvis lookalike, cultists, a demonic bounty hunter, and the action is so over the top it's gut splittingly hilarious throughout. This is how you do schlock. It's unapologetic, brutal, and just plain great. The action is so absurd in its pandering to the 3d gimmick but yet glorious at the same time. Have a few beers first though.

i liked its simplicity und explicitness right away. whats not to like, when an extremely attractive female whips a 69 dodge charger down the road, all the while singing to "fuck the pain away"? but there were also indications (nicolas cage) that this could go downhill any minute now. which it did. and so it steadily became an inconsequential mashup of car chases and shootouts, some stylish ideas here and there (really liked the accountant), but mostly totally forgettable.

This was cheap, tacky, stupid and absolutely ridiculous. I enjoyed it.

It's always possible to make it through something that's packed with action, but being compelled doesn't make the experience pleasant. Drive Angry seems to be aimed at a male age 13 audience, but I can't even imagine how a boy of that age could find it anything more than infantile. It isn't just over-the-top pulp; while containing nothing that we haven't seen a million times before, it does seem to take stupidity to a whole new level.

Cool film, with nice dramatic guitar chords for every expensive car or brutal murder! Cheesy and badass, mixed just right! Simply way cool!

Came in for some good Cage trash and wasn't disappointed. Wouldn't have minded it if Nic's hair was more insane looking but the extensions he had put in were pretty hilarious. Listening to Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla talk about this movie makes it a lot more enjoyable as well (also listen to them talk about Fast Five, pure gold). I love watching 3D movies in non 3D as well, something about random shit flying at the screen is so funny to me. I also have no idea what the plot of this film was

Wow, you gotta love Nicolas Cage. He's becoming the king of B-movies now. I enjoyed this movie, maybe the story is strange, but they stick to it no matter what. It is a strange but fun mix of grindhouse, Carmageddon (yes, that game), gore and action. I don't think it'll become a cult movie, but Cage still got a nose for doing weird flicks. PS, Hobo with a shotgun, eat your heart out, this is how you make a fun film
