Drive Angry Reviews
A rather straightforward supernatural-heroism tale straining oh-so-very-hard to be indecent.
| Original Score: C | Jun 15, 2011
I miss David Carradine and Warren Oates.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 4, 2011
While serious-minded critics are still trying to figure out what 3D can do to enhance the cinematic experience, director Patrick Lussier is having a blast with the as-of-now gratuitously revived technology.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 2, 2011
Cage passes the torch to the next generation of scene-chewing actors as he's graciously out-Caged by both Burke and shark-eyed William Fichtner as The Accountant

It's actually refreshing that Lussier and Farmer don't belabor the film's internal mythology of satanic cults, hell and the devil's administrative assistants.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2011
Being stoned or otherwise buzzed might help.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 26, 2011
Great title -- shame about the movie.

Drive Angry is pure grindhouse, so committed to its own junkiness that it is, in its way, a pleasure to behold.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 25, 2011
Another John Milton wrote: "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven." Cage's character would concur, heartily, before reloading.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 25, 2011
Even at its most lurid, though, the movie is a little dull. And it only gets less compelling as the backstory fills in.

It's the worst kind of bad: Boring bad.
| Feb 25, 2011
I sure do admire Lussier and Farmer's go-for-broke ingenuity.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Feb 25, 2011
It must be handed to Nicolas Cage. He continues to boldly go where few actors willingly do: the Dumpster. His career now is almost completely reverse-engineered.
| Feb 25, 2011
Makes a loud, incoherent but oddly compelling case for the enhancing effects of stereoscopic projection on certain treasured objects of the cinematic gaze, like classic Detroit muscle cars, women's breasts and Nicolas Cage.

A trio of stridently weird performances -- from Nicolas Cage, William Fichtner, and David Morse -- brighten this otherwise rote actioner.
| Feb 25, 2011
Cage has forged his own hell, and it's called: the movies he's addicted to making, even when they trash his brand.
| Original Score: D+ | Feb 25, 2011
Drive Angry is a Steve Vai solo album of a movie, never letting a second pass without asserting its awesomeness, and thus rarely being awesome.
| Original Score: C | Feb 25, 2011
Drive Angry 3-Dis a movie so wantonly ridiculous, so aggressively stupid, it demands you make fun of it.
| Original Score: D | Feb 25, 2011
Sharp 3D lensing and low-octane camp humor help rev up Drive Angry.
Full Review | Feb 25, 2011
There's hellfire and hot rods aplenty here, but a mindless exploitation entry that should have been appallingly awesome instead marshals too little style or intentional humor.
