Blu-ray Review: ‘Drive Angry’

If one were to compare Drive Angry and My Bloody Valentine 3D, they’d be hard pressed to explain how the collaborative duo of writer Todd Farmer and director Patrick Lussier have grown as artists. In fact, I’m confident that I could copy and paste my review of the former and reuse it for the latter. There’s no depth or greater meaning to the Nic Cage vehicle; it’s just intended as a wild 3D ride filled with death and destruction – and Tom Atkins! What’s really incredible about it is that in a post-Grindhouse world, someone had the balls to try and make yet another modern day, big(ger)-budget love letter to exploitation films.

Interview with ‘Drive Angry’ Director Patrick Lussier, Write Your Own Review!

Now in theaters everywhere, Patrick Lussier’s Drive Angry 3D (review) is the anticipated follow-up to the director’s previous horror hit, My Bloody Valentine 3D, which grossed over $100 million worldwide back in 2009.

The difference this time around is that the film is an original creation as opposed to a remake (thank you!), featuring heavy-hitting actor Nicolas Cage in the title role of a man who escapes from Hell to avenge the murder of his daughter and kidnapping of his grandchild by a Satanic cult.

B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen recently chatted it up with Lussier, quickly picking up steam as one of the foremost faces in horror in the 21st century, to talk about working with Cage and the rest of the cast, what old films he and co-writer Todd Farmer were influenced by during the writing process, and whether he’d be open to doing a sequel.

See inside for the full interview and don’t forget it’s now time for you to write your own review to tell all of BD what YOU thought!

Interview with Drive Angry Director Patrick Lussier, Write Your Own Review!

Hitting theaters today is Drive Angry 3D, a supernaturally tinged revenge tale that’s loaded with action and humor. The great William Fichtner shines as “The Accountant”, a profane (and hilarious) bounty hunter of sorts who is tasked with finding Milton (Nicolas Cage) and bringing him back to where he’s from (which is a surprise in the movie, though the trailer gives it away). Helping Milton is B-D fave Amber Heard, who steals the movie away from her co-stars with her crazy stunts and attitude. In short, it’s a ton of fun (did I mention Tom Atkins plays a small role as a machine-gunning sheriff?), and even though its horror elements are a bit light, it’s definitely worth checking out, and another success for Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, the director/writer team behind the smash My Bloody Valentine 3D. To whet your appetite, check below for a pair of exclusive interviews with Cage, Heard, and Billy Burke, who plays the film’s main villain: Jonah King, a colorful cross between Charles Manson and Jim Morrison.

Motion posters are freakin’ awesome. Sure, you can’t hang ‘em on your wall, but it’s nice to get a different visual representation of the film being promoted. The original one sheet for Drive Angry 3D (read my review) is kinda boring, but mix in some fire, explosions, car crashes, and a badass William Fichtner, and you’ve got yourself pure gold.

Inside you’ll find the official motion poster for Summit Entertainment’s action thriller that arrives in theaters February 25. “A vengeful father (Nicolas Cage) hunts down the people who brutally killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.

After reporting on Screen Gems’ lame looking PG-13 The Roommate, it’s refreshing to report to you that the MPAA has given Summit Entertainment’s Drive Angry 3D an R-rating for “Strong brutal violence throughout, grisly images, some graphic sexual content, nudity and pervasive language.” Reteaming My Bloody Valentine director Patrick Lussier with writer Todd Farmer, the story centers on a man (Nicolas Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.
