Drive Angry Trailer: The Cult That Kidnapped Nicolas Cage's Baby Has Hell to Pay, Literally

The Drive Angry trailer doesn't pull any punches. Within the first fifteen seconds, Nicolas Cage blows up a car with a shotgun while sporting sunglasses and amazing/horrible, apparently Celtic blond hair. Then a booming trailer voice explains that he broke out of Hell. Hell like...A depressing time in his life? A terrible office job? A brutal prison? No, he literally died, went to Hell and then broke out. I think it somehow involved really fast cars. It gets even better (or worse) from here.

He escaped Hell not because of the eternal physical and spiritual pain -- Cage can deal with that -- but in order to take on an entire cult who killed his daughter and kidnapped his baby. Oh, and he's also being chased by the Devil's right-hand man, though it looks as though the minion gets sidetracked and spends most of his time on earth screwing with the locals. Anyway, Cage drives a lot, explodes more stuff with his shotgun, and then like clockwork, the the scantily-clad female character (Amber Heard for this film) shows up around halfway through.

While the trailer stops short of actually mocking itself, there's a nice sense of play here that leads me to believe that Drive Angry could be top-notch trash. Maybe it's the fact that every single line of dialogue in the trailer is a one-liner, or the way that it shamelessly uses the director of My Bloody Valentine 3-D (which was actually more fun than The Final Destination and Piranha 3-D combined) as a selling point. Hell, maybe it's just Cage keeping a straight-face with that hair. Regardless, I'm in. Oh, and this one was shot in 3-D. Harry Potter, eat your heart out.

Verdict: Sold.
