If you’re a fan of action movie with no point story and clear purpose, you might want to watch Drive Angry 3D. The movie is certainly a right choice for people who only want to have action experience without having to digest the whole story and think through whether there’s a connection between one scene with the other. Although starred by Nicolas Cage and directed by Patrick Lussier, the whole movie isn’t promising at all.

The whole story focuses on John Milton, a character played by Cage, who seeks for revenge for his daughter’s death. The killer, Jonah King, is a cult leader that deals with cult activities and wants to bring the Satan to the world, by sacrificing his granddaughter. Another kick to the movie is that Milton escapes from hell himself just to have his revenge. The movie is full of blast, explosions, and weapon fighting that requires Cage to jump here and there. In the end, the movie is just full of too much explosions and shoots and makes the movie plainly boring.

However, since the movie comes with 3D image, that could make the movie at least more interesting. But it can also be quite disturbing since Lussier often depicts gore image and bloody scene.
