Hopefully Nic gets out of debt soon and can be more picky on which movies to accept.

Can't blame the actor for agreeing to take money in order to appear in shitty movies. I'd do it.

I do question why producers bother hiring him though. He's a terrible actor. I can only assume it's because he doesn't ask for as much money as other actors with similar name recognition.

An early review -

Halfway through Patrick Lussier and writer Todd Farmer's second collaboration together Drive Angry, it dawned on me: Hollywood usually doesn't have the balls to make a movie like this these days. And I was pretty certain Lussier-Farmer used some sort of alchemy, that combined charm and whiskey, to convince the powers-that-be (Satan, perhaps?) to get Drive Angry made. Then again, who could turn a project like this down? Drive Angry is one hell of a ride that's firing on all cylinders.

Early reports and previews stoked my expectations and led me to believe this film was some sort of amped up Race With the Devil spawn, but that's only a slice of Drive Angry (and here, the Satanists actually drive the RV rather than chase one). Instead, Lussier and Farmer have created a modern day western. A prison break movie. An exploitation flick. A road trip tale by way of one gorgeous ‘69 Charger. A supernatural thriller. A black comedy. Drive Angry is Lussier and Farmer going full-tilt boogey, throwing bare flesh, explosions and gore at the screen with maniacal glee. If you thought My Bloody Valentine, Lussier-Farmer's previous effort, had its fair share of eccentricities, wait until you get a load of the goons on display in this one.

Lol you guys are taking this too seriously. Not every movie is made with the intention of winning Oscars. Looks like a fun Friday night film to me.

When I saw the previews I thought this was going to be Gone in 60 Seconds part deux.

Probably worth a rental on a night where I'm looking for a mindless action movie.

Actually looking forward to this, Hall Pass, and a few others coming out around the same time.

Cage isn't the best but I do like him in lots of the roles he plays, can't help it if most of the movies suck, is he supposed to pass on everything not Oscar-worthy? For instance, Trapped in Paradise was a pretty horrible movie and he wasn't exactly great at the part he played, but his theatrics meshed well enough that he could pull it off.

I just hope he fixed his face after National Treasure 2, swear to god it looked like was wearing a wax face mask most of the time.

Meh, I like the stupid movies he does. Just watched Sorcerer's Apprentice and it was a good romp.
