Terrible acting, even worse dialogue, and an absolute & total disregard for racing & reality. I realize it's a movie, and all movies lack a certain level of reality. But the only reality of racing this movie portrayed is the fact... Full review

Driven is possibly the worst motorsport-themed film ever made.....No one watches a film like this for its intriguing characters or ingenious story.....The motoring editor, Peter Hall, believes Simon's doing the film an injustice;....in Peter's opinion, it is simply the worst film ever made.....The problem here is that the action is so frenetic.... ...

Sylvester Stallone makes a return to scriptwriting with Driven, which is presumably something of a long-cherished project for him, particularly as the structure so closely echoes Rocky , Stallone's last script-writing success. Neither Burt nor Stallone make any particular effort, so it's up to the supporting cast to deliver the surprises. ... Full Review

There's a "tunnel vision" kind of effect used in the film that really doesn't work well. The action and the look of the film are stunning. One open-wheel race car fan called the movie "disappointing" after seeing it. ... Full Review

But people who make stuff like "Driven," which is basically a bad prequel to what might be a pretty good video game, really shouldn't remind us that the world contains real movies, ones we won't regret having sat through all the way to the end. Jimmy and Beau spar briefly over a woman (Warren) and Joe haphazardly hooks up with a reporter (Stacy Edwards), but downy-cheeked, golden-tressed Jimmy (Pardue played the star quarterback in "Remember the Titans") is the real love object of "Driven," and prettier th ...

The demon-speedster auto races in Driven have a jazzy fatalistic surge. The director, Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea, Cliffhanger), is a poor man's Tony Scott who has never, to my knowledge, put a convincing human relationship on screen, but he... ... Full Article
