Summary: A long wait for nothing
Review: I waited a long time for this movie to be released on DVD to be extremely disappointed. From the annoying music to the computer generated crash scenes this movie stinks. I am a very big fan of Stallone but this one left me thinking that I just wasted $... .Anybody that thinks this movie portrays realistic racing scenes has obviously never watched a CART or F1 race! When is the last time you saw a driver throw quarters on the track and pick them up with the rear tires while inducing a skid at 200+ mph? I feel that I could never connect with any of the characters in this movie. If I did start getting interested the music in the background would drown out the dialog. I cannot recommend this movie, wish I could!

Summary: "Rocky" On Wheels
Review: "Driven" may be the only racing flick in which no one gets killed -- just as it would happen in real life. Still, this second Sylvester Stallone-Renny Harlin collaboration is fairly enjoyable on a junk-food-cinema level. The racing sequences are exciting (despite some obvious digital effects) and, surprisingly, Stallone's character takes a back seat to the young leads. However, one wishes Stallone had written a screenplay that wasn't a "Rocky" retread -- right down to casting Burt Reynolds in the Burgess Meredith role. As a result, "Driven" covers the same narrative ground that you've seen in previous Stallone efforts. Though not a bad film, it's easy to understand why "Driven" crashed and burned with movie audiences.

Summary: Avoid at all costs. don't even be paid to watch this Drivel
Review: I'm a die-hard stallone fan. Really. I thought the man was great. After the things I've seen from him the past year I feel forced to go see his movies. That's because they are rather horrible. This one has to be the worst. I could barely make it through this "film" The script is brutal, the direction is choppy, and the acting just blows in general. Gina Gershon is wasted, Burt Reynolds is a joke, Estella Warren is just there for eye candy, and everyone else involved should do they're best to keep this off their resume

Summary: Should be called Drivel, not Driven
Review: It was slightly entertaining, but don't expect anywhere near decent acting performances from Sylvester Stallone or Burt Reynolds. Motorsports movies are rarely good and this one follows that trend.

Summary: If you are a racing fan, this movie's good for a laugh...
Review: I get suckered into thinking racing movies will actually be good each time one comes out...'Driven' got me again...This movie would have been palatable had ridiculous scenes such as a car leaving the track and exploding through trees and landing upside down in a lake been omitted. And Burt Reynolds forcing Kip Pardue to jump up and down on a broken ankle to prove he's fit to race? C'mon Renny and Sly! give even your slower audience members a bit of credit To all NON-race fans...PLEASE do not think that real racing is anything close to what you witnessed here (hint: the real thing's better!)

Summary: Phenomenal portrayal of racing
Review: After just viewing the film for the first time, I must say I came out of it thinking that I was extremely impressed. I've been waiting for another film to be made on the world of auto racing, utilizing the technology we have today to add some incredible special effects into the film. Over a decade has passed since Days of Thunder, so how did they do this time with Indy Cars? Very well. As far as the actual basis for the film's plot, it doesn't draw quite as well as Days of Thunder's did. But the acting by both Kip Pardue and Til Schweiger, and the way the plot was acted out and presented really made the film have an unexpected impact. While neither Sly or Burt could come close to matching Robert Duvall, their performances were respectable and didn't lack much. The special effects, while a little much at times in terms of reality, were still awesome and presented very well. The filming techniques such as slo-mo and POV shots were used perfectly, and in extremely good form. As far as the DVD is concerned, the Picture and Sound quality are exceptional and the Extra's are all there, from director commentary to deleted scenes with Sly's commentary. Impressive enough to get me to go out and buy the DVD after renting it, so it's certainly worth a viewing. If anything, it'll give you a new respect for Auto Racing.

Summary: Could have been better if:
Review: I read the reviews on this and watched the clip on moviefon.com and decided to purchase it. I am a fan of Stallone's other movies and this looked good. It was, but you could not really hear the dialog for the music. The music was so overpowering that you couldn't hardly hear what they were saying at times. Other than that the movie was pretty good.

Summary: Sylvester Stallone delievers another great movie
Review: I've heard what the critics have said saying that this movie doesn't show any signs of the greatness of "Rocky" with Stallone writing and starring in it. Well, I have one thing to say to that ... wrong! This movie kicks, I am a huge Stallone fan -- love the Rocky and Rambo series -- along with his other movies. This ranks right up there with Rocky and Rambo in my book. I have enjoyed numerous Stallone movies -- Rocky, Rambo, Over the Top (which I wish they'd release on DVD by the way), Cobra, Demolition Man, Death Race 2000, etc. And Driven is up in the top 10. (1 - 5) Rocky Series
(6 - 8) Rambo Series
(9) Driven
(10) Demolition Man If you like Stallone, racing movies, or just plain action/drama you'll LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Summary: Average
Review: People who go to see a racing movie and think that it is going to mirror the reality of the track are always going to be disappointed. Hollywood may not have it within it to make a realistic movie. Days of thunder certainly isn't realistic to the racing.
If you are going to get any enjoyment at all from this film you are going to have to go in with an open mind. That this is a movie and will have movie racing, movie plots and movie attitudes.
If you can go in with an open mind then you may find it a fun film, it deals more with the relationships than with racing in many ways. Sly is quite good and was enjoyable to watch.
I loved the racing through city streets was alot of fun. The worst thing was the crashes. They were very dramatic but maybe with the height the cars got, they should have painted them in the Thunderbirds colours.

Summary: An insult to racing fans and movie viewers
Review: This movie is a travesty of an action flick, one that stereotypes racing fans into speed junkies who enjoy watching mayhem and crashes, and is not even a realistic portrayer of the racing scenes. The passing is flagrently illegal and much of the racing is contrary to the CART rules. On the movie side, Stallone puts in his usual poor performance and is so uncompelling that I ended up rooting for the German driver who is his archenemy. In all this movie is an insult to both racing and cinema and should not be bought unless you have masochistic viewing habits.
