Two reasons: 1) the first movie with Vin Diesel was great, the second movie with Ice Cube was stupid -> so they come back to Vin Diesel. Kindly avert your eyes to the title of this movie. At least there is one guy running around who can ‘act’. This old combination works pretty well, though the movie is by far no Fast & the Furious! What is it then? It’s just an everyday run-down-the-mill of a big loud action movie.īe careful – it’s possible that afterwards you may exit the cinema feeling tired, due to all the explosions and crashing cars in your face. The movie is aware of its shortcomings which means it’s focused on one thing: to entertain the audience with an abundance of violence, hot babes, classy cars and pumping 3D ‘in your face’ action sequences. This is likely a reference to Paradise Lost, an epic about Satan’s expulsion from Heaven and the creation of Hell, which was written by John Milton.ĭ rive angry has so little to offer in terms of a story that a commercial on Norwegian wool socks might actually interest you more.īut there is one little light in the bleakness … The name of Nicolas Cage’s character is John Milton. Without him this movie would’ve crashed and burnt like a speeding race car after the first obstacle! His role is quite the mystery until the very end of the movie, and he possesses enough mysticism and flair to easily becomes the most interesting guy on the block. The only actor who can push the ground-level quality of this movie to a higher status is ex- Prison Breaker William Fichtner. But she is beautiful beyond count, let’s give her that, and she doesn’t look all that bad when having to fistfight her way out of a dangerous situation. Her name is Amber Heard and the actress has more straight-to-video time wasters on her oeuvre than all B-actors in Hollywood combined. She has the perfectly round-shaped, delicate and tanned body, so sexy it can make a homosexual drool all over his new pink clothes until he suffocates in his own saliva. Naturally, there is also the mandatory ‘superbabe’ who makes an impression. Every few moments he gives an angry look in the camera.
