    Motorsport movies have a lousy track record, so it's not surprising that Driven joins the ranks of previous race-car clunkers like Grand Prix, Le Mans, Bobby Deerfield, and Days of Thunder. To varying degrees, all of these films offer spectacular racing footage (especially Le Mans), but what is surprising is that Driven was written by its star and coproducer Sylvester Stallone, who shows virtually no sign of the talent that created Rocky over a quarter-century earlier. Under the tepid direction of Renny Harlin, this superficial speedfest fulfills its primary obligation--the racing sequences are adequately exciting, despite the Cuisinart editing and a glaring lack of kinetic continuity. But whenever this adrenaline-pumped drama gets off the track, well... let's just say it's a hybrid of Top Gun and Days of Thunder, but makes those Tom Cruise vehicles look masterful by comparison.

    Stallone's a retired Grand Prix champion, called back into action by his disabled crew chief (Burt Reynolds) to boost the career of a hotshot driver (Kip Pardue, the pretty-boy from Remember the Titans) who's trailing a German ace (charismatic Til Schweiger) in the current 20-race season. The female contingent consists of a reporter (Stacy Edwards, too talented for this tripe) who's writing about "male domination in sports"; Stallone's embittered, remarried ex-wife (Gina Gershon, parodying her bitchy persona); and the requisite kewpie doll (Estella Warren) who comes between Boy Wonder and the reigning champ. It's airhead melodrama all the way, so you'd better enjoy the breakneck racing scenes--including a ludicrous prototype-racer joyride through downtown Chicago--or you'll blow a piston on your straightaway sprint to the bad-movie finish line. --Jeff Shannon

    Product Description
    Talented rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue) has started losing his focus and begins to slip in the race rankings. It's no wonder, with the immense pressure being shoveled on him by his overly ambitious promoter brother as well as Bly's romance with his arch rival's girlfriend Sophia. With much riding on Bly, car owner Carl Henry (Burt Reynolds) brings former racing star Joe Tanto (Sylvester Stallone) on board to help Bly. To drive Bly back to the top of the rankings, Tanto must first deal with the emotional scars left over from a tragic racing accident which nearly took his life.

    3 out of 5 stars A Taste of Formula One   June 17, 2009
    Danny C. Mullins (Lawton, Oklahoma United States)
    This film was actually produced due to Sylvester Stallones recent fondness of Formula One racing. After seeing a few, Sly felt there really had not been a film done on the sport which also showed "behind the scenes." The film shows a few drivers in various aspects of their lives in Formula One and the movie has a pretty good story all in all. The camera shots and special effects are wonderful and actually credible, especially if you are a fan of the sport like I am. This is no Oscar-worthy film by any means, but definately good enough and entertaining enough to watch. Because of the shots taken and being a fan of Formula One and Indy racing, I opted to buy this movie. I'm not a real big fan of Sly's, but I do, like everyone else, end up watching his movies. Bottom line-A good movie depicting various aspects of the sport, credible performances with plenty of action without be "over the top."


    1 out of 5 stars Looking for a good racing movie? Don't start here!   June 17, 2009
    Gary Donaldson (Braselton, GA USA)
    This is definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen, and was a total waste of time and money. Maybe some viewers who are not racing fans might find some redeeming virtues, but the racing fan will be squirming and wincing with almost every scene. A general note about the digital 'special effects': Just because the studios can do it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

    Anyone looking for genuinely exciting racing scenes should stick with McQueen's "Le Mans" (its empty script notwithstanding).



    5 out of 5 stars always loved this movie and was glad to finally find it   February 17, 2009
    Deborah Sebastian (Lincolnton, NC USA)
    love the movie and so glad to have finally found it to add to my movie collection


    3 out of 5 stars Nice Cars, Nice People & Film Non-Racing Fans Can Enjoy   February 7, 2009
    Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
    This movie was definitely better than I anticipated. (I had low expectations.) There are some fantastic Formula I driving and crash scenes in here, and the sound of engines was fun to hear. I make those statements despite not being much of an auto racing fan, either.

    Another appealing aspect was that the three lead characters were all good guys. There are annoying "bad people" in the movie but they are all minor characters.

    The ending is predictable and, yes, there are some of the typical things you see and hear in many Sylvester Stallone films but not as dumb as many of them (the bad ones, that is.)

    Because of the superlative visuals and audio, this is a good movie to see on a nice TV and a nice surround system. Mine are okay but I can imagine what this would look and sound like on something really good.



    1 out of 5 stars One of the worst movies ever.   January 26, 2009
    A. Barry
    I'm a big Formula 1 fan, and I'm glad F1 decided not to get involved with this picture. This is undoubtedly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The whole idea that a guy would dump a young talent just because he didn't win the championship in his first year is ludicrous. The ancillary story about Estella Warren and her switching between Bly and Brandenburg is not at all compelling, and then aside from that there seem to be not a few but several auxiliary plots that are only hinted at but never fleshed out, (Tanto's ex-wife, Memo's distress at losing his job, what happened to Tanto's career, etc.) The dialogue is just atrocious with lines such as, "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE!" and, "Joe, you never crawl!" Maybe you think you can forget all of that stuff and just watch the racing scenes? Nope, they suck too, because it seems the only way they could think of to make them exciting was to have ridiculously overwrought crashes that would never happen in real life. But the most ridiculous scene comes at the very end where suddenly Jimmy Bly pulls away from Brandenburg on a straightaway just because he suddenly realizes how much he loves racing. The only three reasons anybody might want to watch this movie are:
    1. The racing through the streets scene is cool if you don't take it seriously (which shouldn't be too hard considering how awful this film is)
    2. The music is really good.
    3. For House fans, Robert Sean Leonard plays a significant (and stupid) role.
