Really, how can you not like anyone who hears “I’m going to kill you and send you to hell” and responds with “Between now and then, I’m going to fuck you up!” She grew and changed as the film went on, and she kicked some major ass for great justice. I ended up liking Piper quite a lot, because she was never afraid to pick up a weapon and get into it when the bad guys needed a beatdown. This is a solid origin story for a female heroine. What she finds, though, is a purpose, albeit a short-term one, and a way to harness all that fight for something bigger than herself. At first, Piper is unwittingly drawn into Milton’s pursuit of cult leader Jonah King ( Billy Burke), and she’s mad as hell that Milton has screwed up her life. Then she meets Cage’s John Milton, a damned soul escaped from hell on a mission to save his infant granddaughter from being sacrificed to Satan (yes, really). (I prefer my entertainment violence meted out to bad people who are an imminent threat, not just because you’re mad they cheated on you.) Overall, Piper just doesn’t seem to have much of a life. She’s prone to assaulting people who piss her off, which didn’t impress me, even though the film was telling me that her victims deserved it. When it begins, she’s stuck in a dead-end job and a dead-end relationship. Piper’s character, though, is treated pretty well in the film. She’s white, skinny, conventionally pretty, wears short shorts, blah blah blah.
Drive angry guns movie#
As you can see in the poster, Piper is the Action Movie Babe.
Surprisingly given the film’s promo poster, leading lady Piper ( Amber Heard) is NOT the naked woman in question. I would caution you, though, to armor up if you’re annoyed by the use of naked women as plot gags. If you want to see Nicolas Cage shoot people while driving a flaming car that’s flying through the air, this film will 100% meet your needs. The people who made Drive Angry set out to make something very specific, and they succeeded. Combining guns, property damage, and a Satanic cult that kidnaps babies isn’t likely to get you a good movie, but if you do it right, it can be a lot of fun.
