Summary: Good, not Great.
Review: I saw Driven on opening night, and I thought it was a pretty good movie. I am a big F-1 fan and while this movie may have not been the most realistic racing movie, its much more realistic than say...Days of Thunder was to NASCAR. I thought the movie was for the most part realistic, and I have always been somewhat intriguied by the lifestyles of F-1 and CART race car drivers. I thought the end of the last race was the only really unrealistic part in the racing sequences. I think the drama beyond the racing parts was good, even though younger kids might be bored by it because it was pretty much just about the relationship between the girl and the two drivers fighting for the championship. What happened in those circumstances was good and it suprised me. The movie was good, not great, and with Estella Warren as the lead female, can you really go wrong?? :)

Summary: Put your mind on park and enjoy the ride.
Review: This is the kind of movie that Stallone cut his teeth on. He is like an icon out of the action movie past as an over the hill racer recruited to bring a young upstart out of his destructive downward spiral. That said the film is a series of vertigo inducing race sequences designed to have you reaching for the Dramaline. Wow! Okay so the soap opera plot has been done before but it is diverting enough to provide ballast to those aerial races. Some charisma provided by the young leads and by that old pro Stallone. If you like race movies then buckle up.

Summary: A Beefstick of a Good Film
Review: I have yet to experience the DVD, but I can attest that what I saw in the theater definitely delivers. I'm sure that "Driven" was not very realistic to those that follow the sport, and that is ironically one of the movie's best features. As someone who is not a fan or follower of CART or any other automotive racing, I was still captivated by the action and intensity of what drivers go through. Stallone defintely instilled in me a new respect for these men that I am now comfortable referring to as athletes. As a movie itself, "Driven" certainly does not have the most original script I've come across, but it does embody the principles that have made me a loyal follower of Mr. Stallone: heart, dedication, faith, and good will. Sly knows how to create and portray a real man who makes himself better by searching himself for his potential, and "Driven," if nothing else, was an inspiration to watch. I found the direction of Mr. Harlin and the special effects to be very original as well. The movie had a new, hip kind of feeling to it that I've seen rarely, if ever, before. See it and enjoy it.

Summary: An absurd joke of a CART exposé
Review: When "Driven" was announced as a cutting edge, behind-the-scenes look at the world of Formula 1, I was fairly interested. My hopes were somewhat dashed when I heard Stallone would be the movie's creative engine. Needless to say my optimism was not restored when viewing the final product (free, thank God), which had somehow mutated into a melodramatic, contrived, and unintentionally funny action (?) movie grafted onto something vaguely resembling the CART circuit. "Driven" is of value purely for the accidental laughs it incites, featuring announcers who seem to be less than familiar with their jobs or the typical spectator's intelligence ("One of the keys of winning these races is knowing when to make a pit stop...") and a wheelchair-bound Burt Reynolds, sporting about four inches of makeup on his face. Not only that, but we are also subjected to very little raw racing footage and more of the same badly done CGI that makes about half the film resemble a Playstation game, right down to the false tension and generic aggro-rawk blasted loudly in the background. Starting off with a concept that had serious promise, "Driven" arrives with a whimper, coming off as nothing more than a flailing attempt to entertain and teach a NASCAR-crazed America that there's more to speed than stock cars.

Summary: It's CART racing and its Awesome
Review: First of all, I would like to clarify this is a movie about CART Racing, NOT Formula 1. The racing scenes are intense and truly show the excitement of CART racing. The scene with the prototypes racing through Chicago is brilliant. No, it's not a documentary, it's a thrilling action movie. I love the scene where Stallone slides the racecar and picks up the quarters with the rear wheel just like Fangio used to. If you understand what drives these racers you will love this movie.

Summary: Because I made him see Josie and the Pussycats ...
Review: Although I don't like racing, my boyfriend does, so I tried to give this movie a chance. It's entertaining in an "it's either this or re-runs of last year's State of the Union speech" kind of way. In other words, it's not a very good movie.

Summary: Start your Engines !
Review: Ever wonder what it's like to be a C.A.R.T driver ?.... Well...if you think you are going to find out by watching this movie you are wrong. There is one thing I can say about this film though... It's loads of entertainment. If you are a fan of open-wheel racing this film is a must. Although I can't say much for the plot, the movie ties a sappy love story with some great C.A.R.T footage. Don't expect it to be like LE MANS (w/ Steve McQueen). Just remember !... Be open minded, sit down, grab some pop-corn, and buckle -up ! Enjoy!
