- 70VarietyRob NelsonVarietyRob NelsonDespite amply funded f/x, including some spectacular muscle-car stunts, the movie motors to the grindhouse with squealing tires and guitars, gratuitous nudity and gore, and a scantily clad greasy-spoon waitress endearingly played by Amber Heard.
- 63Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreHeard sets herself up as a Megan Fox with talent. And Cage? He delivers. Mock him for his bad choices if you will, but consider this. Who else could have made this work, or would even want to?
- 60Chicago ReaderChicago ReaderA trio of stridently weird performances--from Nicolas Cage, William Fichtner, and David Morse--brighten this otherwise rote actioner.
- 50The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyStrictly for the midnight-movie crowd, Drive Angry serves up a non-stop stream of female nudity, flying body parts, gun battles and smart-alecky dialogue.
- 50The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasDrive Angry feels like a five-minute Comic Con show reel that's been expanded beyond its limits. It's agonizingly cool.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere is an exercise in deliberate vulgarity, gross excess, and the pornography of violence, not to forget garden variety pornography. You get your money's worth.
- 40EmpireChris Hewitt (1)EmpireChris Hewitt (1)A shambling, ponderous mess that aims to be a trashy cult classic and merely ends up in the trash - Fichtner aside. And, in the biggest disappointment of all, there's not even that much angry driving in it.
- 40Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfWe've seen Nicolas Cage when he's angry-and we like him when he's angry. So why does this painfully loud revenge movie skimp on the Cage rage?
- 40The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterDirector Patrick Lussier and his co-screenwriter Todd Farmer string together smash-up car chases, hyper-violent physical clashes, flying viscera and a dollop of sex and nudity with ludicrous dialogue and only a passing concern for logic in this high-octane trash.
- 25Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisDrive Angry is something new for Cage - a movie that feels like it's straight FROM cable.
