Drive Angry

DRIVE ANGRY (2011) - Mar. 6, 2011
Meh.  About a man who escapes from hell in order to rescue his baby granddaughter from a satanic cult, this was just as ridiculous as the description makes it sound.  Certainly, this is a movie that knows exactly what it is and runs with it, embracing its R rating and trying to be as fun as possible (with the possible exception of Nicolas Cage, who was far more subdued than you'd think).  And it does start out pretty fun -- but the movie is 104 minutes long and probably shouldn't be any longer than 80.  I was never bored, but I was certainly very ready for it to be over when it finally did end.  **1/2
