What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may deliver the over-the-top action pieces, but Drive Angry prefers to work safely within grindhouse formula than do something truly unique.

Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness A rather straightforward supernatural-heroism tale straining oh-so-very-hard to be indecent. Rated: C Jun 15, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle I miss David Carradine and Warren Oates. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 4, 2011 Full Review Simon Abrams Slant Magazine While serious-minded critics are still trying to figure out what 3D can do to enhance the cinematic experience, director Patrick Lussier is having a blast with the as-of-now gratuitously revived technology. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 2, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Lussier’s gory action comes with plenty of debris and body parts flying at the audience captured by a fine use of 3D lenses, but with all of the movie’s silly pleasures, it still lacks the style or edge to make it memorable. Rated: 1/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Bill Newcott AARP Movies for Grownups Nicolas Cage’s latest attempt at onscreen and/or career self-immolation, fills a particularly specialized film niche: The movie that is inappropriate for all ages. Rated: 1/5 Apr 1, 2023 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) We come back because there is nobody who makes being an actor look more fun than Nicholas Cage. Even at his most pay-cheque happy, his shear mania for dressing up in a character's skin is infectious... Rated: 3.5/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

mark g Big names and budget, but maybe that's the problem. It's trying to be a throwback to the old grindhouse genre, but those were low budget films. Doing that style with a big budget and stars, well, very fake. And Amber Heard is from Texas, what is up with that accent? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Rich J I was told be a few people to watch this and about how amazing the action is. I was severely disappointed. It is something I might have liked when I was 15 to 19 because of the excessive nudity and over the top violence but by the time I was 22 I was well past that level of immaturity. It does have a few parts without the cartoonish violence and nudity that are actually good however. There are so many worse movies out there but this is far away from being something I can recommend. William Fichtner was actually one of the bright spots and Billy Burke was consistently good as well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Joey J Best movie very good 100% Drive angry extremely funny and serious extremely funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Matthew H Absolutely terrible, unbelievably fun The dialogue is bad, the characters are often skin deep and the plot is…acceptable. What they come together to form is an extremely funny, great time, which when taken completely unseriously can be extremely entertaining. This movie is Terrible, it’s also terribly fun. A must watch for anyone looking for a movie that is great fun, just perhaps not a family viewing… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review John W Potentially the worst movie I have ever seen. William Fichtner was a bright spot as The Accountant. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Audience Member What even is this? Lol...
