Strengths
Nicolas cage is fantastic as Milton does his job perfectly.He is acadamy winner and great actor who portryaed his hell man role with ease and elan.It is not a movie like Kick-ass/ghost rider to enjoy but his charisma makes us to watch. Amber heard is hot as hell --a best company to Cage looks superb but a limited edition to this action-thriller movie. Others too are genuine
Photography is cool where the music of the movie is big plus as it travels with various genere of ...Car racing,revenge thriller, religious cult ....Screenplay of the movie is tight and suspense is highly kept secret which ensures the movie good run. dialogues are good and humorous at a times...Gunfights ,car chases, Truck crash --lot to fire would thrill action fans to a extent.
Weakness
My Bloody Valentine,’ achieved success , as he was able to balance an intriguing story with intense stunts. However, he wasn’t able to attain that same success with ‘Drive Angry,’ as he created a somewhat confusing back-story for Milton and puzzling explanation of why he was going after Jonah.
Verdict:4.5/10( 1 for Cage/Amber,1 for casting, 1 for screenplay ,1 for music & .5 for DOP)
Movie canvas Punch: Drive angry.... is enjoyable
