Lussier’s gory action comes with plenty of debris and body parts flying at the audience captured by a fine use of 3D lenses, but with all of the movie’s silly pleasures, it still lacks the style or edge to make it memorable.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 31, 2023

Nicolas Cage’s latest attempt at onscreen and/or career self-immolation, fills a particularly specialized film niche: The movie that is inappropriate for all ages.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 1, 2023

We come back because there is nobody who makes being an actor look more fun than Nicholas Cage. Even at his most pay-cheque happy, his shear mania for dressing up in a character's skin is infectious...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 25, 2021

Billy Burke rounds out the supporting players quite nicely as a frighteningly convincing cult leader whose sway on his flock is uncomfortably realistic.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020

Drive Angry 3D is a film that unashamedly nails its balls to the wall from the outset and, as far as guilty pleasures go, it's one hell of a ride.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 23, 2019

It works as a stand-alone drama.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 6, 2019

It's excessive, otherworldly, and a bit batty.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2018

One of those delightfully tasteless movies that turns dumb, gross fun into true artistry.

| May 23, 2018

Feels like an affectionate remake of an obscure 1978 Roger Corman production that might have been called "Hot Pants and the Devil Driver."

| Aug 26, 2015

There's a thin line between clever and stupid. NIc Cage walks it.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

Performances, especially from William Fichtner and Amber Heard, are great and the 3D is pretty solid, but that's about all I can say for Drive Angry 3D in terms of positive aspects of the film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 24, 2013

There isn't much to Vancouver-raised director Patrick Lussier's film besides mayhem and muscle cars, but he sure gets those things right.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2013

Drive Angry is very obviously Nicolas Cage embracing his own ridiculousness, or - in language invented by Bad Lieutenant director Werner Herzog - "releasing the pigs".

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2012

[Drive Angry 3D] ends up failing pretty badly as it doesn't even come close to being a grindhouse film or entertaining.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2012

...a tedious waste of time...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 5, 2011

Drive Angry is fun-fueled exploitation bliss that hearkens to the golden days of grindhouse flicks and features the pure spectacle of the car/action movies of the 70s.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2011

A rather straightforward supernatural-heroism tale straining oh-so-very-hard to be indecent.

| Original Score: C | Jun 15, 2011

The Citizen Kane of exploitation flicks.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 27, 2011

The film is saved, not by its star, but by a supporting turn from William Fichtner as The Accountant, an underworld bounty hunter stalking Milton's every move.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 6, 2011

It hits the sweet spots of Loony Tunes sex, violence, cars and exploding things more often than it misses.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2011
