We have an edgy new clip from the upcoming Nicolas Cage actioner, Drive Angry 3D, where he plays an escapee from Hell determined to find the cult that killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.
He teams with a waitress that just happens to own a ’69 Charger and is looking for her own redemption. They have three days to avenge the daughter and save the baby before Cage’s character has to go back to Hell. The plot sounds like grindhouse fun but the addition of the 3D detracts from a gritty fun feel that the film could have had. Along with Cage the film also stars Amber Heard, Billy Burke, and William Fichner.
Drive Angry comes to us courtesy of director Patrick Lussier, the man responsible for White Noise 2: The Light and Dracula III: Legacy, so not only do we have to be concerned about Nicolas Cage’s sliding career but also an unproven director. To be fair though, Lussier did direct the surprisingly entertaining (not good, but still entertaining) My Bloody Valentine remake.
Cage needs a fun movie. Will this be it? Check out the Red Band clip by heading below now and you be the judge.
Oh no. No, no, no. This doesn’t look good at all. I think the story idea has potential but based on the clips I’ve seen (this NSFW clip as well as the one with the hydrogen truck)…well…”why?” is really the only thing that comes to mind. I think any potential this movie has is going to be lost in it’s awful execution. The 3D effects are super obvious, even in 2D, and look like they’re put in the movie just to claim 3D status. Sledge hammer shattering a mirror? Bullets flying through the air? Truck tumbling towards the camera? Been there, done that and these look cheesey at best. Worst part are the characters in these clips. Nicholas Cage and William Fichtner seem like they’re supposed to be unstoppable bad asses back from Hell but appear to be so smug on screen that their characters merely look like parodies of a bad ass instead. And don’t get me started on the thug who gets shot and somehow falls out of a window feet first from a standing position. Very silly looking.
