There are flying body parts, women talking dirty, drinking, smoking, and casual sex - sometimes all at once. This Milton, played by William Fitchtner is more likely to let his six-barreled shotgun do the talking as he blasts three-dimensional holes in anyone who stands in his way.Ĭo-written and directed by Patrick Lussier ("My Bloody Valentine"), "Drive Angry" tips its hand early, when Milton sends one thug's disembodied digits flying off into our laps in split seconds of glorious, gory slow-mo.įrom the way Lussier and his screenwriting partner Todd Field drop the F-bombs, it's obvious they were out for a hard R rating, and they knew exactly what they wanted to do with it. In case you're wondering, we're not talking about John Milton the 17th century English poet - though I bet Cage would have relished playing him. Perhaps Cage is worried about being typecast as a supernatural hell-raiser since he's just going through the motions here. It's not so long since he gave up his soul to battle Satan's progeny in "Ghost Rider," and we can look forward to "Ghost Rider 2" this time next year. You don't see that everyday - unless you're an avid Nic Cage fan, I guess. I wanted to like "Drive Angry" too: John Milton escapes from hell to save a baby from satanic sacrifice. The film features its fair share of gore. Reviewer says Cage appears to be "going through the motions"."Drive Angry" stars Nic Cage as a man escaped from hell.
