When an evil cult kills his only daughter and his infant granddaughter, a man escapes from Hell to bring them to justice.
By all rights, I was expecting very little from Drive Angry. As you can see from the trailer below, it looks like very classic B-movie action fare... and ended up as a riotous good time for everyone in the sparsely populated theater. Now you will get plenty of action--perhaps not as much as some other films, but certainly enough to satisfy most people. Where Drive Angry, I think, really shines is when you couple that action with the dry and sometimes dark comedy wrapped around it.
Perhaps not so surprisingly, the effects in the film are rather well done. Visual effects one comes to expect since less than a certain standard just doesn't fly for audiences these days, but the sound effects were given extra "pop" and really help the adrenaline of the film as a whole. The plot is fairly loose and doesn't get very deep, but that's really just what this kind of film needs--light on drama, heavy on action, and with enough comedy to prove that it might not be taking itself seriously.
May or may not be worth your theater money (there is no 2D option for this one), but a solid rental that I would highly recommend.
