 Driven Driven Quote: Driven is a 2001 movie directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote and produced. It centers on a young racing driver's effort to win the ChampCar World Series (since merged with IndyCar). Prior to production of the movie, Stallone was seen at many Formula 1 races, but he was unable to procure enough information about the sport due to the secrecy with which teams protect their cars, so he decided to base the film on the ChampCar World Series. Boooooooo. D+

Now that's ironic. Stallone's last movie to top the US-box-office also turned out to be his worst. This movie had the potential to become a mindless, but at least entertaining and fast-paced flick, in the tradition of Days of Thunder. What it turned out to be was a highly unrealistic, badly-acted, stupid and boring movie. Some of the crashes were fun to watch, but other than that there are barely any redeeming qualities about it. No one in this movie acts well. Thankfully, Kip Pardue mostly disappeared from movies after this flick. The races are so CGI-laced that there's no excitement whatsoever in watching them. And let's just not talk about any realism...

Wow. One of the worst movies ever made. Some of the worst driving sequences ever conceived. Terrible.

It features acting so wooden you'd have to call in the logging company to remove the actors from the scene, a storyline which reeks so badly of a patchjob that you'd need to bring in the exterminators and racing sequences that defy all known laws on pyschics and beleivability. I mean he finishes a damn race with 3 wheels while at full speed and don't even talk about the crash sequences, they'd be great in Wipeout the movie perhaps or a Star Wars Pod race but here it looks like somebody launched a Howitzer onto the track and the camera caught the ensuing flipping and and slo-mo mayhem.
There is a certain car crash fasination when your watching (i actually watched it twice, maybe i enjoy pain i don't know?) but afterwards you'll be scratching your head wondering why did your Brain allow you to endure it.
D+ (only because its strangely funny in places)
(This movie was originally penned as a Formula 1 set feature but Bernie Eccelstone must have read the first draft and ran screaming from the room, hence the CART setting althou its criminally easy to spot the films versions of Frank Williams and Michael Schumacher)
