Blood Drive (2017)
6/10
crazy midnite madness
16 January 2019
It's dystopian 1999 California Territories. Oil is $2000 a barrel and food is scarce. Julian Slink (Colin Cunningham) operates a cross-country road race with cars that run on human blood. Grace (Christina Ochoa) drives to earn the $10 million prize for her sister kept in a mental hospital. L.A. cops Arthur Bailey (Alan Ritchson) and Christopher Carson (Thomas Dominique) work for private corporation Contracrime. Their investigation leads to the race. Arthur is forced to partner with Grace. Christopher is taken by fellow officer Aki (Marama Corlett) who turns out to be something other than human. It's all tied to the corporation Heart Enterprises which owns everything.

It's outrageous, bloody, pulpy, and sexploitative. It's drive-thru and midnight madness. It's completely convoluted until it becomes a crazy mess. It is fun as long as one doesn't take it seriously. Quite frankly, no one can take this seriously. It is gleefully ridiculous. Ochoa has the body and more importantly, she has the attitude. I'm surprised to be more interested than I expected but eventually, the craziness wears thin.
