Once you open those doors, you just can't close them.') With such silliness throughout the screenplay co-written by director Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer ( My Bloody Valentine), it's surprising whenever a moment of sincerity or truth escapes a character's lips, as when Piper gives her views on devil worship. In other words, it's mainly a vehicle for action, danger and mayhem-not theological contemplation. In the film, hell is a place from which people can escape when the big boss isn't looking, and/or when they've got unfinished business on earth to tend to. It soon becomes clear that the dialogue about how ' hell's gonna walk the earth' is more than metaphorical, although the movie takes its spirituality about as seriously as it takes its male-female relationships or anything else. (After this film and Anton Chigurh's wagers in No Country for Old Men, coin flips have become cinema's most ominous foretelling of fury.) When he encounters a obstacle to his pursuit, he takes a moment to flip a coin before eliminating the nuisance. He has a cool demeanor and the unusual ability to sniff out-literally-where Milton has been. Joining Milton in this high-stakes chase is Piper ( Amber Heard), a waitress looking to escape her sleazy boss and find some greater purpose in life than serving another 'She's a Brickhouse' breakfast to patrons.ĭrive Angry 3D is full of lowlifes and down-on-their-luck characters, but it also includes the Accountant ( William Fichtner), a dappery dressed fellow who's pursuing Milton. He's doing the devil's work, which will culminate with a child sacrifice-unless Milton gets there first. The man who has the baby is a cult leader, Jonah King ( Billy Burke), who thinks he's some sort of messiah. Let's begin by going over the plot, such as it is.ĭrive Angry 3D is a preposterous, over the top story about a man named John Milton (Cage) who's searching for a baby, his grandchild. That's three more reasons than anyone might have for actually sitting through this movie. Three possible reasons for reading this review.
