Milton (Nicolas Cage) is angry enough to be able to break out of hell – or drive out of it, to be exact. After all, a vicious cult led by Jonah (Billy Burke – Bella’s father from Twilight series, the attorney from The Closer’s Power of Attorney episode) killed Milton’s daughter and now they have taken his granddaughter to kill her as well. Of course the Devil’s “Accountant” (William Fichtner) is not happy about Milton’s escape and goes after him. But Milton is determined not to stop at anything and with the help of the fearless and gorgeous Piper (Amber Heard), he just might accomplish his mission…

Drive Angry is shot in 3D and I really can’t wait to see it. Granted, it is not going to be deep or very original but I love revenge flicks filled with action and I really like Nicolas Cage – especially in action films. After all, he gave us The Rock, Face/Off, Lord of War, Con Air and more.
The movie also guarantees huge grins with its funny one-liners. My favorites:
The Accountant: (to one of the teenagers) I won’t see you again until you are 73. (to the other): You, I’ll see in 3 months.
**
The Accountant: Wouldn’t want to be you when Satan finds out.
Milton: (coolly) What’s he gonna do? Not let me back in?

Expectation: Very harmless, very entertaining, cliché-filled yet satisfactory rockin’ action. Hope it delivers. Coming to US in February, 25th.
