Rating: Summary: SLY, WHAT'S GOING ON ??!!!!! Review: uau !!! THis movie is bad, man !! I could not believe my eyes and ears while I was watching this dreadful picture, the worst, I repeat, the worst Stallone picture I've ever watched. And I'm a big racing fan since I was eight !!!! If I would describe all the embarassing dialogues, cliched situations, impossible race events, ridiculous comparisons (why, in the name of Earth, did SLyportrayed the manager of the team in a wheel chair, with no explanation at all????? Just to remember Frank Williams from Formula One???!!!!). ALl the character are lame and mean, well, enough!!
Rating: Summary: Sly at his typical Review: if you want realistic movies, good acting, great dialog, or some mushy love story you will hate this movie. But if you can sit through the Rambo trilogy, or the Rocky 5 pack. this one is for you, digital special effects are state of the art, some new ground broken here. take it for what it is, and do not take a date.
Rating: Summary: It's only one of the best movies I've ever seen Review: I think Driven is one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I don't understand how people can diss it so much. The actors do a great job, and it's a movie that I just didn't want to end. Also, I'm a fan of racing...with Nascar being my favorite (...).
Rating: Summary: Boring... Review: I watch the worldwide Formula One Grand Prix regularly and I must say this movie was no comparison, in my biased opinion. The cars just seemed to fall apart too easily - which led to some spectacular crashes, I do admit. I found the whole love story theme pretty boring - especially the (...) who switches between the two top drivers. The only reason I give it two stars is because I thought Sylvester Stallone sounded like Mel Gibson...
Rating: Summary: stereotype Review: This film is very bad! In this story CART's regulation is edited with sufficient convenience. This story is too easy and simple to be interesting. Perhaps the worst thing about this film is the poor use of CG in the last scene. This scene is very important, but the CG in this scene are very bad, although they are easy to create. The rookie looks like the American Dream and he is easy to admire. This thing isn't very bad, but the heroine also looks like this, she is an Ideal formed by male fantasies. I did not like this. In addition, Japanese people were portrayed prejudicially in this American movie. At one point it has many Japanese people portrayed as short in stature and wearing glasses. This is a stereotype. In the film there is a scene set on a twin link Motegi, and the Japanese in the audience are an old lady and an old man with glasses. I don't want to see such a stereotypical film. However, this film has generally good CG. The racing scene is speedy and cool! Overall, I don't like it very much.
Rating: Summary: What an excellant film - Not Review: Its time to call joe tanto. One star for the gorgeous italian babe. Driving a car round a track a 1000 times isnt a sport and this film proves it, its the cars that do all the work. (...) Where exactly are the effects the cars look like their going 5 miles an hour. The script and acting is terrible, its no days of thunder.
Rating: Summary: Bad, Bad Movie. But . . . Review: . . . in spite of how bad this movie is (Burt Reynolds is bad. BAD. Gina Gershon is bad. Brash Young Kid is bad. The script, the plot, and the non-action direction is bad), Sly Stallone does some good work here. He adds subtext to his character where none exists in the script. There's restraint and subtlety in his portrial of an aging athlete. That's right, I said Stallone added subtlety to a movie. He does an excellent job here, but he doesn't save the movie. I'm a CART racing fan, and I like a no-brainer action movie as much as the next guy, but this movie just didn't add up. A no-brainer movie doesn't have to have a plot that makes sense, but it helps if it at least isn't confusing. What happened to the reporter Stallone was developing a thing with? She disappears until the final pan of faces surrounding the podium. Why would a team owner threaten to fire a rookie with 4 wins and either 1st or 2nd place in the standings before the last race? Did I miss something? Was Burt Reynolds' face lift supposed to be a remnant of a racing accident? Or, um, is that his real face? Two other good things about this movie, though, that make it worth tuning to once it hits cable: Estella Warren, also, does a decent job as Girl Object for Brash Young Kid. Maybe she'll get some better roles besides this or that Planet of the Apes role in the near future. The other good thing was the spectacularly filmed race scenes. The crashes were truly terrifying, not exciting, as they should be. But 15 minutes of racing footage can't justify 2 hours of nonsense.
Rating: Summary: Baywatch on wheels ! Review: I love Formula One and racing in general, this is why I bought the DVD. But let me tell you ... this movie is an insult to every racing fan in the world. The actors are third-class, the FX are terrible, the background music is laughable, and to top it all : the plot of the movie is just horrible. This looks like a Baywatch episode on wheels (at least they have good looking babes on bikinis running around !). I heard Sylvester tried to do this movie about Formula One but at the end could not get to an agreement with F1 owner Bernie Ecclestone over differences on the plot of the movie and money matters. Then Mr. stallone returned to the States and had to settle for CART. I was pretty upset at Mr. Ecclestone for not allowing this project to become a reality, but now that I have seen the movie I would like to thank and show my admiration to Bernie on taking this wise choice. Please save your money and forget this movie was ever made, let's just wait that someone has the brains and the balls to make a decent racing movie, the sport deserves it, the fans deserve it !
Rating: Summary: It's not "Rocky" Review: Sly Stallone wrote this script, but he also wrote the script for Rocky. It wasn't a brilliant one, but at least Rocky was a much better film that this total waste of film. This movie has no redeeming qualities to it, I can't even think of one reason why I would recommend it. I thought it was boring, and the race car sequences were just okay. Stallone tried to throw romance(lame try) and action and sports together. I think he was trying to appeal to everyone, but I don't think it appeals to anyone. This movie was badly acted, and the script was awful(Rocky script was much better), and it has been done far too many times before. Skip it..and watch Rocky again.
