Summary: Entertaining if seen without an attitude.
Review: I paid to see this movie in a theater about a month after it was in general release, after having read both a good number of the doubtful pre-release reports in the racing press as well as the post-release reviews by legitimate film critics. In other words, I went in expecting to be disappointed, but afterwards, I left pleasantly surprised and happy.I'm a racing fan. I followed CART with strong interest for a long time until last year when I finally got so fed up with watching its "management" crash it into the wall over and over again that I eagerly switched to NASCAR. That said, I still hope new boss Chris Pook can get CART back on track. I have two points to make from that little bit of autobiography - I know something about racing and its business, and I know "Driven" does not convey the reality of either of those two things very well at all. But it doesn't have to, nor should it. "Driven" is a fictional movie, not a documentary. Those people who know how exciting real open-wheel racing can be - and who also then know how it often isn't - who yearn for this movie to be only a highlight reel of great moves and passes will be disappointed. The folks who know and care that burning methanol fuel produces no visible flame will be upset to see visible fuel fires here. In short - those people looking for racing reality will not like this movie, and apparently a lot of people who reviewed the film on this site, were. But again - it's a MOVIE, and this one does very well what movies are supposed to do: provide entertainment. If you go into this movie looking for that you'll find plenty of it. Enjoy the drama, the suspense, the action, and heck, the T&A - there's a cute blonde for the young guys to ogle, and Stacey Edwards' reporter character for older guys like me to appreciate. Also, Stallone actually uses some acting range in this picture. Contrary to some reports, there is a plot and it's actually a pretty good one. Not contrary to other reports, Burt Reynolds is simply awful in this movie - never before has 10 minutes (at most) of a single actor's screen time been so hilariously bad. This film could have been a sleeper hit when it was released. It's too bad then that when the racing fans who saw it didn't get the high degree of reality they wanted, they bad-mouthed it to death. I think it's a good, entertaining movie, worth buying, and I'm certainly doing just that.

Summary: Simply awful
Review: This is quite possibly the worst movie i have seen. The storyline is kinda ok, but the scenes are so ridiculous that it makes the movie laughable. Driving F1 cars in the middle of city streets? cool idea, awful in the story. If all you want to see is good FX and race cars, this is your movie, but if you want a real movie with a storyline, keep walking right past this one.

Summary: Could have been good
Review: The commentary and deleted scenes narrated by Stallone are worth the rental or purchase of this DVD. The movie stinks, but what the movie was supposed to be is very good and moving. Stallone takes you through the entire "writers/actors" cut and you see a real story with interesting characters and movtivations develop. The "real" reason Stallone is called up by the Burt Reynolds character is touching, dramatic and true. It is ashame that people who saw this movie in the theaters never got to see this. Editing ruined this film.

Summary: What was going through Stallone's mind, for Heaven's sake???
Review: This movie is nothing. No wonder it got seven nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards...Stallone has a respectable history in movie making... he knows this is a turkey. Harlins also knows. But what they also know is that, no matter the garbage they release, there are people that will buy it and review it very positively!! That's why! DRIVEN is so bad, I mean so bad, that you almost laugh sometimes... By the way, I love car racing, that's one mroe reason to hate this movie. (I'm not talking about the plot, the acting, the dialogues... it's useless)

Summary: Better than the reviewer suggests
Review: I am starting to think that most "professional reviewers" are just BIG SNOBS. I am educated, have good taste in fine things, and a regular movie watcher. I thought that Sly did a wonderful job with this movie. His role was wonderful! It has action, romantic tension, feeling and etc. The main plot problem I had was figuring out what was eating the Burt Reynolds character. I was able to watch this movie--finishing at 4:30 am, after sitting withn my son in an ER for 4+ hours.

Summary: Poop
Review: This movie is Poop. No plot. No theme. No suspense. No interest.

Summary: Ignore the so called film reviewers
Review: We all know sly is not known for his acting skills rather more for making some great action movies , and Driven is not a disapointment!!.I know the film was slated by just about everyone but hey I LIKED IT and judging by a few of the other reviews so did others , so i cant be far wrong . if you want some great driving scene's and some great special effects during the car shunts this is must , go on give it a try - what have you got to lose.....

Summary: Drivel
Review: The title says it all. I own almost all the famous racing movies, and even admit to liking Le Mans, but draw the line at race scenes obviously filmed at a walking pace, moronic movie stars driving CART cars through city streets, and Grand Prix races run on a track no wider than my driveway. Watch comic book characters doing incredible things! I use the term incredible advisedly - the whole thing is simply not credible.

Summary: Racing for Soap Opera fans
Review: I did not like this movie at all. I thought that I might like it when I saw the previews. It was like a bad soap opera combined with a music video.
