Patrick Lussier does better at direction than at co-writing, managing to maintain the fast tempo of the film.
Direction, Music and Editing – Drive Angry Review Billy Burke and David Morse (as Milton’s friend, Webster) do passable jobs. Fichtner is impressive as the Devil’s messenger, and manages to stand out. Nevertheless, he fills the bill and mouths his dialogues as he is required to. It is unfortunate to see a fine actor such as Nicolas Cage in a strange and badly fleshed out role as in this film. A section of the Indian audience, that enjoys and cherishes no-holds-barred action, will take to the film. Consequently, the action sequences of ‘Drive Angry’ are its only saving grace. Also, the fact that Milton’s escape from hell is not depicted in the film, is a letdown. Thereafter, the screenplay writers have completely failed in creating any intrigue in the viewers’ minds whatsoever. The viewer is also, by half-time, aware of how the film will end. How did Milton get out of hell? Why was he in jail before he died? Why is it so difficult for Piper, who has seen Milton escaping bullet wounds many times, to believe that Milton is a dead man? What is Accountant’s real job? Moreover, the characterisations of Jonah King and his group of Satan-worshippers are clichéd and underdeveloped. Some very obvious questions that are bound to arise in the viewers’ minds are not answered. Many scenes in the film just act as in-betweens for the next action sequence to follow. Besides, the screenplay is poorly fleshed out.
Logic is given a short shrift and even if the audience agrees with the bizarre storyline of a man who returns from hell, enough supporting details are not provided by the writers. Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier’s script is entertaining only because of the scope it creates for many action sequences – which are well-executed – but it falls short in the story department. Script and Screenpay – Drive Angry Review Is Milton successful in saving his granddaughter from Jonah? Who is Accountant really and does he finally catch up with Milton and Piper? Is Milton sent back to hell? The rest of the film and the climax answer these questions.

Meanwhile, Jonah is planning to sacrifice the infant at midnight on the full moon night, to please Satan. Confused, but having found, for the first time, some meaning in her life, Piper continues to help Milton in his mission to save his granddaughter. Notably, any bullet wound Milton suffers from gets cured in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, when Milton is shot at by one of the Satan-worshippers but escapes unhurt, Piper discovers that Milton is actually a dead man, who has returned from hell to avenge his daughter’s murder. Milton and Accountant’s paths cross a couple of times, but Milton is able to escape each time. Accountant has other incredible powers and he can only be hurt by a special gun that Milton is carrying with him. Accountant follows Milton’s scent everywhere he goes. Even as the duo is hot on the trail of Jonah King, they are themselves being pursued by an enigmatic killer, called Accountant (William Fichtner). On his way, Milton meets and joins hands with Piper (Amber Heard) – a sexy, tough-as-nails waitress, after he saves her from her cheating and violent boyfriend. Milton wants to kill Jonah and then drink his blood from his skull. Milton (Nicolas Cage) is a hardened felon who has broken out of hell to find the whereabouts of Jonah King (Billy Burke) – the leader of a Satan-worshipping cult – who had brutally murdered Milton’s daughter and kidnapped his infant granddaughter. Millennium Films, Nu Image Films and Saturn Films’ Drive Angryis the story of a man who returns from the dead to avenge the death of his daughter by a group of Satan-worshippers. Watch or Not? Watch only if you favour mindless action films.
