63The movie is so filled with action that dramatic conflict would be more than we could handle, so all of the characters are nice.
-
58Mostly preposterous, and it has no dramatic center, but the racing scenes hold you in their death-trip grip.
-
50If all you want is sensory overload, hop in. Driven will get you there.
-
50Driven is in both its script and its execution a paint-by-numbers affair.
-
50Even if his (Stallone) own star may be fading, the popularity of car racing is enormous. These fans are not likely to be disappointed by Driven.
-
50When the film predictably limps across the finish line, you're left with the impression your time would have been better spent sitting in traffic.
-
50Whenever the tires stop screeching and the fenders slamming, the story lands in a brutal pile-up of cliches.
-
50May persuade you to identify not with race-car drivers but with race cars.
-
42Between Stallone's soap opera of a script and Renny Harlin's speed-obsessed visuals, we're never really shown much more than fast cars and obsessed drivers.
-
40Driven is recommended only to those gentle souls who want to know what it looks like to crash into a wall at 200 mph.
-
40For Stallone, and his original script for Driven reflects a more mature, self-effacing perspective.
-
40Harlin's skill compensates for a lot of narrative preposterousness, even it is overmatched this time around.
-
40Director Renny Harlin has unfortunately adopted a let's-try-anything attitude that translates into a chaotic and unattractive visual style.
-
40Stallone's script is well structured, though the jaw-droppingly banal dialogue gives us little reason to care.
-
38It's outrageously stereotypical and weirdly personal, so loonily exaggerated it keeps surprising you.
-
30This noisy, time-wasting spectacle is crammed with what purports to be characters, except that not one of them has any more depth than will fit into a one-line description.
-
30Even fans of open-wheel racing, the high-speed, high-stress pastime that is the subject of Renny Harlin's hectic new film, may walk away from it more logy than exhilarated.
-
25Gas -- the hot air variety -- is exactly what Driven is made of.
-
25Embarrassingly bad - the kind of slapdash exercise that gives even Hollywood formula a bad name, while doing little justice to the sport.
-
25A race-car drama full of flashy but empty images and a soundtrack that makes you feel as if you're being shaken on a motel rumblebed.
-
25What we have here is a film where the first 20 minutes are repeated again and again until everything comes to an absolutely predictable end.
-
20It's not quite as bad as "Cutthroat Island," I'll grant you, but it's woefully close.
-
10A slick, simplistic, and laughable effort that's reminiscent of a bad Jerry Bruckheimer film. A really bad Bruckheimer film.
-
10Racing flick results in a wreck as horrifying as the film itself.
-
10An appallingly dull film set in the world of professional racing, director Renny Harlin and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone have found a way to drain all the adrenaline out of the sport.
-
10Redundant, humorless and overlong screenplay.

DJT10A great racing movie, similar to "Days of Thunder" without the love story! Sly gives a resonable human effort. We definitely need a sequel!
