Drive Angry is a really fun movie to watch if you’re into grindhouse-style action flicks. What makes it even better is its use of 3D visuals. However, it does not have much of a story.

Nicolas Cage stars as Milton, a man who has broken out of hell and is seeking revenge against Jonah King, the man who killed his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter. That is not much of a plot, but then again, you don’t see a movie like this for its story. You see it for its adrenaline-pumping actions scenes, and Drive Angry has plenty of them. My favorite scene, apart from the intense and climactic final battle scene, was when Milton gunned down a gang of Jonah Kings thugs in a hotel room, while still screwing a chick he met at the bar. Being a guy who loves hybrids, I really enjoyed this sex-and-gun-fight hybrid scene. This movie is filled with exciting scenes like that.

The 3D effects used in Drive Angry did well in enhancing my viewing experience. While these effects were a bit gimmicky, they seemed to fit well with this type of movie. Effects such as bullets and metal debris flying towards the audience made Drive Angry a bit more enjoyable.

Most movies released in 3D are not worth the $15 ticket price. I would, however, recommend seeing Driving Angry in 3D because the effects used really enhance the experience.
