Drive Angry is sort of an "intentionally corny" movie. Slightly similar to "Death Proof" in a couple of ways. Throw in some "Constantine" too. As long as you don't take it seriously, it's decent.
It's the kind of movie where a guy gets blown back by a single bullet. Where the "hero" can somehow avoid getting shot even when two cops unload from 10 feet away. Where cars can do improbable stunts, and the chick always has perfect hair and makeup no matter what she's just been through.
I'll be honest -- you take away Amber Heard and the movie would suffer. But whatever. Nicholas Cage plays his standard character -- softly spoken, with plenty of squinting and a slightly strange walk. The special effects are pretty poor, but there is hardly any in the entire movie so it's fine.
I can't really call it a good movie, but it didn't make me want to stop watching.
Drive Angry - 4 out of 5 (3 out of 5 if you don't like watching Amber Heard)
