If you like fast cars, big guns, Beelzebub and loony Nicolas Cage, though, then go knock yourself out. That’s more or less what happens in “Drive Angry,” which opens Friday, and the sheer looniness of that plot - tough guy hot rodder returns from the fiery bowels of aitch-ee-double-hockey-sticks to deal with family-disrupting hooligans - is probably why movie critic types have been kept at arm’s length from pre-release screenings.Ĭage does loony about as well as anyone, though, and the movie’s trailer, uh … oh, fine, who are we kidding? The trailers make the movie look about as appetizing as (undesirable digestive byproduct) on toast. Nicolas Cage is so frickin’ crazy that, were you to mess with him or anyone related to him, Hell itself could not contain his fury. Satan, take the wheel: You don’t mess with Nicolas Cage, and you especially don’t mess with his daughter, and you especially especially don’t mess with his granddaughter.
