Drive Angry (2011)
Nicolas Cage is back from the dead and he's angry and he's driving cool muscle cars. He's after a devil worshiping cult who has kidnapped his granddaughter and killing everyone that gets in his way. He ends up traveling with a hottie played by Amber Heard so there's some eye candy. And if all that wouldn't have been enough, they are being chased by an Accountant from Hell. Now that's what I call a story. Name of the game is kicking ass, burning rubber and at times having sex while doing either. The story and the concept were so hilarious that I really wanted to love this movie, but unfortunately it's not a great movie. First of all it tries to be cool, but it really isn't and you're left with this awkward feeling where you wonder were they just having fun embarrasing themselves or did they really think they're cool. All the great stuff were just ripoffs from other movies and that was a huge disappointment. It felt like the director didn't have a single original idea, just mixing all the stuff he thought was cool. That's not always a bad thing if the movie is done with style and the right attitude, but unfortunately that wasn't the case here. The CGI effects were from bad to absolutely horrible, but luckily there are some proper physical effects in there as well. What I liked about the movie was the ridiculous story, William Fichtner's performance as The Accountant, some of the dialog and the cars. Actually those were enough to keep me entertained, but still the movie had potential for so much more than what it's offering.
