2 new action flicks featuring musclecars......
If your a DVD fan or a Netflix customer you might want to look for these two titles. # 1. "Drive Angry". Nicholas Cage plays-according to the narrator-a "A badass mother$%6cker who thinks he can escape his destiny by escaping from hell." It's a cool premise-the bad guys can't kill Cage because he's already dead. He's trying to save his granddaughter from a Satanic cult. Lot's of car chase action with a '63 Riviera, a '69 Charger, and a '72 SS454 Chevelle. Amber Heard is the eye-candy and William Litchner is great as the narrator / Demon Bounty Hunter who wants to take Cage back to hell. Mindless fun, with great action. # 2. "Faster" is a much darker tale featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a bank robber who was pronounced dead after being double-crossed by his crew, recovered and did 10 years in prison. Now he's out, and he's pissed-determined to kill everyone who had a hand in his misfortune. Billy Bob Thortnon plays a drug-addicted detective nearing retirement who helped set the Rock up the first time. The always sexy Carla Gugino is wasted as Thornton's partner, as is Moon Bloodgood ( Terminator: Rise of The Machines ) as his crack-whore wife. Also in the mix, and I don't know why is a filthy rich Yoga master hit man that apparently beat polio or something as a kid. The Rock's ride is supposed to be a 1970 SS396 Chevelle as it has that front end, but it has the round taillights in the bumper like a 71-72 model. Come on, guys!! He also drives a '67 GTO early on. Gritty action and gunplay, a little short on car action, although the Rock shows he can act in things other than dipshit comedies. Mastermind
