Rank which characters you like most

As the title suggest. List you top 5 (or less depending if you like less characters) favourite characters from this movie. I'm mainly curious what most people think of 3 main stars.

RIP AJ Cook's career. Her career dies everytime she's on the sh#t known as Criminal Minds.

My sister got this one in an insomnia-riddled night and was like, "I can't get enough of this movie...it's utterly ridiculous, totally over the top, random nudity and violence porn everywhere and I'm lovin' it...the main actors in it are so solid, plus this guy called the Accountant...wow!"

She's the queen of movie reviews so I saw it as soon as I could and she was absolutely right...I was lovin' it...hilarious!"

So let's see, we have to say Cage for obvious reasons: he doesn't have to do anything and he's incredible...

And Amber Heard is perfect as the heart-of-gold, kick-ass mofo...

And then Fichter...OMG he was perfect...so there's my top 3...but it's sort of a silly post because if you've seen the movie it's pretty obvious...

1. The Accountant
2. Milton
3. Jonah King
4. Cap

The accountant is just such a badass but he's completely nonchalant about it. Great portrayal by Fichtner.

Milton is badass himself but his actions are more like 'a bull in a china shop' as opposed to the smoothness of the Accountant. Completely OTP character and Cage does that kind of OTP acting very well imho.

Jonah King is a wannabe villain. I enjoyed seeing him try to act badass and usually failing miserably. lol

Cap(the sheriff) was enjoyable for his OTP 'shoot first, ask questions later' style of law enforcement. "Aim for thar tares" indeed. lol And his reaction to the Accountant driving the cement truck through his roadblock was priceless. :D

Where are we a-going? Planet Ten
When are we a-going? ...real soon...

I agree with your first three choices, but then I have to add the name Candy, played in this film by actress Charlotte Ross. I've watched her on TV over the years and always admired her work, but until now I had NO IDEA she was capable of projecting this much sexuality.

The last Charlotte Ross film I'd seen was Christmas in Paradise (2007), a gentle G-rated drama about two American families that meet in San Juan, Puerto Rico, over the Christmas holiday. In it, Charlotte exuded decency and virtue as the widowed head of her family, a son and daughter. On the trip, she meets a divorced father (Colin Ferguson) and is attracted to him. Their liaison elicits sparks but no kisses. Still, at film's end we know they will continue their romance back in the States.

Contrast this character with "Candy" in Drive Angry (2011). Here, Charlotte is all smoldering sexuality, a nymph who waits on tables while wearing her personal "uniform," very short cut-off jeans. In a later scene, she bares all, showing us every curve in her body as she allows the Nicolas Cage character to "service" her. While they are in mid-coitus, the bad guys break into their room and Cage has to fight them off while still connected to the completely naked Candy. Not an easy task for either of them... but they get the job done.

Yeah, I think Charlotte Ross is an actor whose name belongs in our Top Five.

Cheers,
Dan

English subtitles are a MUST on all DVD releases!
