New 'Drive Angry 3D' Red-Band Spot Rejects Award-Season Prestige

Are you sick of all the high-minded ads for films hyping up the awards season praise that has been piling up for some? Then this might be your antidote. A fresh red-band clip for Drive Angry 3D has been shot out of the UK like a magic bullet. It is full of blood, explosions and a few boobs. Most of the footage is stuff we've seen before, only this time it is edited to go just a bit farther. Check it out if you want to see a man's hand blown off.

This isn't likely to be any sort of modern classic, but given that major studios don't often tend to back movies like this any longer, it is refreshing for an old genre fan to see all the faint exploitation overtones in this one. The cast (Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner) is good enough, but pair that with all the stuff that makes a disposable, messy R-rated action movie fun, and Drive Angry 3D gets two hours of my life.
