Visionary film director Patrick Lussier (2009’s MY BLODDY VALENTINE 3D) has taken the spirit of classic 70’s action films and 3D by combining them together for the explosive, high octane, 3D action-adventure-thriller from Summit Entertainment and Millennium Films called DRIVE ANGRY. Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage (1995 – Best Actor, Leaving Las Vegas) stars as Milton, a hardened felon who breaks out of hell to go after Jonah King (Billy Burke – The Twilight Saga), the crazed leader of a vicious cult, who is responsible for the murder of his daughter and kidnapping his daughter’s baby. With the help of a sexy but tough as nails waitress named Piper (Amber Heard – Pineapple Express), her vintage 1969 Dodge Charger, and one last chance at redemption, Milton has three days to avenge his daughter’s death and save her child from being mercilessly sacrificed by the cult while avoiding capture by an enigmatic assassin, who’s also the devil’s right hand man (William Fichtner –TV’s Prison Break). The film also stars David Morse (The Green Mile) as Webster, Katy Mixon (TV’s Eastbound & Down) as Norma Jean, Charlotte Ross (TV’s NYPD Blue) as Candy, Pruitt Taylor Vince (Mississippi Burning) as Roy, Jack McGee (The Fighter) as Fat Lou, and Tom Atkins (John Carpenter’s The Fog) as Cap. Capone of AIN’T IT COOL News said that this film “must be experienced on the big screen” and I thought this was a very entertaining movie that’s got a lot of great action sequences, and I also thought that this film is almost as a reference to Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s GRINDHOUSE movies. I thought Billy Burke’s performance as Jonah King was both scary but good. The movie was filmed on location in Minden, Plain Dealing, and Shreveport, Louisiana from March to May 2010 with an estimated budget of $ 50,000,000. If you’re a fan of action movies or a Nicolas Cage fan, than DRIVE ANGRY 3D is a movie that I recommend for you to see.
