The only interesting subplot occurs near the end of the film, where the reason why and how Milton escaped from Hell is somewhat revealed, but even this section is dismally boring and understated. The story seems to want to combine the gritty supernatural storyline of "Constantine" with the sheer in-your-face absurdity of "Crank," but does so really poorly the parts of the plot involving Milton’s death and subsequent escape from Hell are quickly glossed over in poorly executed and boring exposition, and a great deal of time is spent on painfully rehashing Jonah King’s obnoxiously evil deeds. The film’s plot is practically nonexistent, consisting mostly of dumb action scenes that are separated by equally dumb and boring non-action scenes. Milton is joined by Piper, played by Amber Heard, ("The Stepfather"), a waitress at a diner who decides to travel with Milton after he saves her from her abusive boyfriend, Frank, played by the films co-writer Todd Farmer ("My Bloody Valentine"). Along the way, Milton must avoid falling into the clutches of The Accountant, played by William Fichtner, (TV’s "Prison Break"), a demon operative of Satan determined to drag Milton back to Hell.
When King takes Milton’s granddaughter, Milton decides to hunt down and kill King. The film centers around Milton, Cage, a dead felon who somehow manages to escape from Hell, having discovered that his daughter was murdered by cult leader Jonah King, played by Billy Burke ("Twilight").
While the 3-D effects are fairly decent, the acting, plot and general atmosphere of the film is positively horrendous. The man is especially bad at highly action-oriented roles, as evidenced in his incredibly terrible performances in "Ghost Rider," "Bangkok Dangerous," and "Knowing." Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier, the creators of his latest film, "Drive Angry," seem to be at least somewhat aware of this, as they have created an awful movie that is at the very least enthusiastic about its severe lack of quality. While his roles in "The Rock" and "National Treasure" were decent, most of his other work is awful. Have a suggestion for a movie? Have thoughts on the movie of the week or past movie?

All I know is that Drive Angry is way better then anyone gives it credit for and by the time it ended I was already writing the pilot to a tv that would never happen in my mind. Maybe its because the character is only different from Ghost Rider in the details. I don't understand why America didn't embrace this concept more more than it did. Have lots of sex and kill lots of people. B Movie Breakdown - Episode 106: Drive Angry
