Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie is so filled with action that dramatic conflict would be more than we could handle, so all of the characters are nice.
|
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
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.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
Driven is in both its script and its execution a paint-by-numbers affair.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Driven is recommended only to those gentle souls who want to know what it looks like to crash into a wall at 200 mph.
|
|
New Times (L.A.) -
Stallone's script is well structured, though the jaw-droppingly banal dialogue gives us little reason to care.
