However, also chasing Milton is the Accountant (William Fichtner) looking to drag him back to Hell to finish paying his debt. Fortunately, sexy ass-kicker Piper (Amber Heard) has one and off they go to thwart King’s evil plans.
In order to save that little girl, though, he’ll need a car – a fast car. How angry did that make Milton? Angry enough for him to escape from Hell to put a biblical-scale beat-down on King and rescue his infant granddaughter, now kidnapped by King. Here, Cage plays John Milton, mysterious dead Hell-dwelling loner, whose daughter was murdered by Jonah King (Billy Burke) and his satanic cult. So, it seems to me that Cage has brought that same lazy… Nic Cage-y style to every role he’s done in the last ten years. No, it’s that rare condition that I call the “Sean Connery Rut” where no matter what role the actor plays (Russian sub captain, Spanish swordsman, etc…), it’s performed the exact same way. It’s not that he hasn’t done anything I’ve liked before, but it certainly seems that he’s kind of gotten himself into a bit of a rut- not the typecast rut, though. It’s that that I dislike him as a person or actor. Angry Milton (Nicolas Cage) is angry in the revved-up, old-school "Drive Angry".
