Okay, it might not be high brow stuff or very realistic but a very enjoyable "fun" movie. It was nice that there was no bad guy, or have Stallone's character as the ageing racer who comes back to win the World Title (not very believable!).

Looking at some comments for Driven and for other Sly movies on the IMDB it seems to me that many folks just have a downer on Stallone and trash everything he does due to their own prejudices. If you dislike him then why watch his films? "The Worst movie ever made"? Give me a break.

I love this film and have done for going on 20 years - it was the film that first turned me on to Charles Bronson and I've been a fan ever since.

First time as a youngster seeing it the suspense was almost unbearable and the buffalo really isn't that bad considering it was over 25 years ago.

Buffalo scenes aside, the film scores for realism with believable characters, settings and dialogue.

Bronson turns in a fine performance and although I love most of his films, this remains one of my favourites.

I liked this film. People often criticise Sly Stallone who turns in pretty much his usual character performance - solid action with a tender heart deep down.

Stallone isn't a bad actor - he might not be Olivier but for me is convincing for the roles he plays.

James Woods had some dodgy lines in this, as did Sly but enjoyable hokum.

Seems that efforts were made - despite this being a solid Stallone actioner - to avoid the usual fist-fights and guns. Sharon Stone was surely hired for box office appeal (to boost the film given Sly's is fading) and she turns in a credible performance. Perhaps any starlet could have done the job but Stone's popularity must have helped sell the film, which without her might have been another Stallone flop (which would have been undeserved). Good film.
