Drive Angry Is An Example Of How To Use 3D In Movies

With the amount of 3D movies available today, certain things come to mind when making the choice of 2D or 3D at the theatre. Does it look like the film would benefit from a 3D presentation and does it feel like the story is secondary to the 3D effects? In the case of Drive Angry, the 3D effects are just the icing on the cake.

In Nicolas Cages first real bad-ass film, Drive Angry he stars as stars as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out of hell intent on finding the vicious cult who brutally murdered his daughter and kidnapped her baby. He joins forces with Piper (Amber Heard) - a sexy, tough-as-nails waitress with a '69 Charger, who's also seeking redemption of her own. Now, the two of them are hot on the trail of the deadly leader of the cult (Billy Burke), all while being pursued by the accountant, an enigmatic killer (William Fichtner) who has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to hell. Caught in a deadly race against time, Milton has 3 days to avoid capture, avenge his daughter's death, and save her baby before she's mercilessly sacrificed by the cult.

It’s a ferocious high octane boost of adrenaline as Milton tears across the highway with Piper. It’s a movie full of bad guys and it’s only a matter of choosing which team to root for. Cage shines as Milton and easy gets a bad-ass groove going, but it’s the irresistible Heard that (Ahem!) stops traffic. The 3D effects only enhance the production, especially in the action sequences with cars bouncing along the roads and bullets going in all directions.

Surprisingly, the real star of the film is Fichtner, who brings the accountant to life with a subtle sense of humour and a sharp attitude. He was always one step behind the action, but it almost seems like a calculated move from the accountant, who looks like he gets a kick out of following Milton.

With the feel of a Rob Zombie movie and the 3D style of his previous multiple-dimension outing My Bloody Valentine, director Patrick Lussier is becoming a master of the 3D format, crafting a sensational films and 3D effects in all the right places. Drive Angry is a sure fire hit and a perfect example of how 3D can work without overdoing it.

Review of Drive Angry 3D: Go and see it!

Drive Angry 3D is filled with a great sense of its own silliness with director Patrick Lussier crafting a demented, gory and knowing homage to b-movie horror shows. It’s loud, brash, crass and thoroughly enjoyable. In many ways the kind of 1970s-inspired low rent flick that might have fitted neatly into the Grindhouse label given its penchant for thrills and chills with a pulp fiction heart.

Nicolas Cage plays John Milton (bit of a tired literary reference there), a bad ass ex-con who has busted out of Hell to rescue his granddaughter (yeah, Cage is playing granddaddies now) from the clutches of Jonah King (Billy Burke), a self-styled religious guru who worships Satan with his demented and dedicated clan of psychos. Oh and Milton’s daughter, before King murdered her, bit off his Johnson. Nice.

The use of 3D and its application takes a leaf from Alexandre Aja’s imaginary book on ‘Presenting Movie Mayhem in Stereoscope’. Drive Angry uses it to provide chuckles and horror in equal measure. And boy, do things get bloody.

This hellride actioner is one long chase scene and actually works well. One could described it as “Sam Peckinpah meets Roger Corman”. The story is threadbare but powered and energised fully by its concept and execution.

William Fichtner puts in an amusing turn as The Accountant. On the surface he’s all suave and cool, but really as deadly as the man he’s trying to return to Hell. Amber Heard also does herself no harm playing Piper, a foul-mouthed and hard as nails waitress who befriends Milton and joins him in his madcap quest across southern US back-roads and small towns.

There really isn’t much to grumble about. You’ll laugh in all the right places – including a fine sex scene turned shoot-out, you’ll enjoy the car chases and the deliberately corny dialogue. It plays to all of Nicolas Cage’s strengths as a great eccentric star, too.

As an audience who love the oddball actor we know his choices are hit and miss. Just when you begin to lose faith he pulls something out of the hat which makes you forgive him. Coming so soon after The Season of the Witch Drive Angry serves as a reprieve as much as an affirmation of the leading man’s qualities. When he’s on fire there’s nobody quite like Cage.

Of course the 3D leans more to the gimmicky side befitting its aesthetic and Lussier’s film would be equally enjoyable in the standard format. But since it delivers laughs and violence measure for measure it’s something the audience will no doubt embrace in whatever dimension it’s projected. Drive Angry has a cult classic vibe for sure, whether it becomes one remains to be seen. It tear-arses into cinemas from 25th February. Go and see it.
