The more we see of the satanic cult, the less menace there is, as they just seem like a bunch of rednecks whose only difference from other rednecks is their symbols. Action set pieces are spread through the film a bit too predictably, though, and after a while, the film begins to feel like a constant ramp up, ramp down back and forth pendulum that doesn't know which way it wants to go, sadly.

The film is full of wonderful over the top violence, and the tone is set early for what kind of insanity will take place, and while the 'plot' development does take time, the way it's laid out, rather than just thrown in your face to attempt to comprehend, makes for a good, interesting pace, at first. It's almost reminiscent of his uneven 'Ghost Rider' performance, a similar role.

You can see the determination in his eyes, but it's just not there in his performance, in body language or tone of voice. His portrayal of Milton is a bit too calm and collected for someone who was just burning in hell, who now has demonic forces on his ass to bring him back home. Accompanied by the smoking hot Piper (Amber Heard), Milton has only a few days to make things right, and it doesn't help that The Accountant (William Fichtner), a demon attempting to retrieve Milton back to Satan's grasp, is hot on his trail.Ĭage isn't the perfect casting, and, as much as I hate to say this, he may be the one weak link. He's gunning for anyone involved in the affair, working from the bottom up, and he's leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, delivering more and more souls to the underworld. The cult gets their wish, in a sense, as Milton breaks out of hell to seek vengeance, in an attempt to save his granddaughter's life. The death of John Milton (Nicolas Cage)'s daughter and her husband at the hands of a satanic cult was bad enough, but the plans of Jonah King (Billy Burke) and his followers to sacrifice Milton's newborn granddaughter under a full moon to bring hell to Earth is the last straw.

It's probably not the best film for female audiences, as it lacks any delicacy or subtlety, whatsoever, on top of numerous moments with violence against women or bits that can readily be seen as demeaning towards the finer sex. Perhaps that's why Lussier designed this flick to have as much happening as possible, with some very elaborate set pieces and scenes sure to get one's adrenaline pumping. In fact, the more you think, the more likely you are to spot moments that just don't work logically. Patrick Lussier's 'Drive Angry' is a film that doesn't require brains to watch.

Hot girls, fast cars, awesome gunfights, cool characters, bloody carnage, smart dialogue stringing it all together the more there is, the merrier the experience will be. With guy movies, what matters most is seeing what you wanted to see. Heck, most of the 'Fast and the Furious' films are perfect examples of this. The plot is just a way to string action sequences together. We’re rooting for them to get it right.Some films don't need a point. Whether or not Anglo American completes its high-profile project over the next few years, it’s still a step in the right direction. The only emission that the truck generates is water vapour, instead of the planet-suffocating emissions we’re used to. The water generates electricity which then powers the motor controlling the wheels. The fuel combines with oxygen to create water. The trucks operate by putting hydrogen into the fuel tanks. The vehicles are old trucks retrofitted with hydrogen tech, saving the need to create new vehicles from scratch. While running solely on hydrogen, they still carry a load of ore weighing 315 tonnes. If other mining companies adopt this method, maybe things would appear less dire. If the project succeeds, the diesel saved would make a massive difference in the world’s climate problem. According to Soles, around 80% of all the company’s diesel consumption comes from its thirsty trucks. Since South Africa is one of the most well-known mining countries, it makes sense that we would be one of the first to test and adjust to the new technology. It’s Anglo’s choice whether to commercialise this.” The vision for us is to see this rolled out across our business and the mining industry. They are now beginning to take real notice. Speaking at the presentation in Polokwane, Julian Soles, head of technology development and mining at Anglo American said, “People told us three years ago this is not going to happen, this is not a good idea. According to the company, all of their vehicles worldwide will be carbon-free by the year 2040. The immediate goal is to have eight more of the company’s mines step away from carbon-based vehicles by 2030. Anglo American certainly has lofty goals for its nuGen project.
