Film: Drive Angry


Nicolas Cage is Milton, a man who has escaped Hell to avenge the murder of his Daughter and save her child.
In pursuit is Prison Break's William Fichtner as The Accountant who must return Milton to his eternal damnation.
This is all done in a gloriously over the top style similar to Machete albeit with not quite the same results.
It's good fun and has some teriffic action and chase scenes but the silly comedy tends to interfere with a good old fashioned revenge story that would have had more impact without the humour.
Also, the 3D adds nothing to this film, if anything it too detracts from the story which still manages to shine through, just.
Enjoyable nonsense that could've done with an edgier feel.

Film: Sanctum


James Cameron's name is all over this cave diving adventure but he is only on board as executive producer.
A group of explorers are trapped in a cave system when a Cyclone strikes and must find their way through the underground, and sometimes underwater, maze to survive.
The best thing that this has going for it is the amazing scenery and some vertigo inducing moments, all in nifty 3D.
There is a Father / Son bonding sub-plot but it's all just a bit average and none of the characters really come to life.
This is inspired by a true story which I suspect would make a better documentary than it does adventure movie.
