Avis Metacritic

The movie is so filled with action that dramatic conflict would be more than we could handle, so all of the characters are nice.

Even if his (Stallone) own star may be fading, the popularity of car racing is enormous. These fans are not likely to be disappointed by Driven.

Driven is in both its script and its execution a paint-by-numbers affair.

Driven is recommended only to those gentle souls who want to know what it looks like to crash into a wall at 200 mph.

Stallone's script is well structured, though the jaw-droppingly banal dialogue gives us little reason to care.

It's outrageously stereotypical and weirdly personal, so loonily exaggerated it keeps surprising you.

Even fans of open-wheel racing, the high-speed, high-stress pastime that is the subject of Renny Harlin's hectic new film, may walk away from it more logy than exhilarated.

What we have here is a film where the first 20 minutes are repeated again and again until everything comes to an absolutely predictable end.

It's not quite as bad as "Cutthroat Island," I'll grant you, but it's woefully close.

An appallingly dull film set in the world of professional racing, director Renny Harlin and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone have found a way to drain all the adrenaline out of the sport.
