Drive Angry

I'm not a fan of the 'action' genre, and make no mistake, that is the type of flik Drive Angry is. But alas, I was lured in by the sight of Amber Heard in the previews and rent I did. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this action vehicle and upon reflection, I attribute that to the sense of humor employed during Drive Angry. The movie is not just explosions, curse words, nudity, guns and killing, all of which are present and accounted for. It's also a lot of fun as we meet the characters, starting with Fat Joe and the ultra-sexy Piper(Heard) and her dopey, has-it-coming-to-him boyfriend. But without a doubt, the FUNNEST (!) character in Drive Angry is played by William Fichtner, an agent from Hell sent above to retrieve an escaped resident from Hell (Cage).     6/24/11
