Drive Angry

Nic Cage is John Milton, and it appears he's on a mission to save his grandchild from the clutches of a charismatic cult leader Jonah (Billy Burke) from sacrificing the baby under a full moon, and Milton appears to have escaped from hell, and is being tracked down by the Accountant (William Fichtner, in a playful turn).  Along the way, Milton comes across Piper, and after an extended bit of introductions, they travel in order to find Johan and his grandchild before it's too late.

Drive Angry's running time is about 105 minutes (before credits reel), but given its storyline, there's probably a good 90 minute cut that would be just as entertaining and would not drag as much as its theatrical cut.

There are some cute sequences (one was reminiscent of a coitus scene from "Shoot'em Up" that also shows up in this movie) showcasing some decent gun violence, and car chases.  Amber Heard looked fine in her daisy duke cut-off jeans, and swore like a sailor here and there.  Good use of their R rating for the most part.  But the film has a lack of flow, so it starts and stops and the overall plot just doesn't deliver in an interesting manner.  So, the script and the direction could have been tighter and better.

I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
