This review is from: Driven (Widescreen) (DVD)

Oh, come on guys; "Driven" was a good little sports-action movie, with a cast that fit perfectly in every role. Sylvester Stallone (who also wrote and produced) plays Joe Tanto, a retired Grand Pix race car driver. He is called out of retirement to help his former crew cheif (Burt Reynolds) train the new hot shot racer, Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue), who has a lot of talent but little disciplin. Believe it or not, the movie is really about Bly, he is the one who changes through out the movie. In fact, the movie is really just a passing of the torch kind of material. But I think it is done well, a macho man's emotional buddy movie. Stallone is great as the world weary racer, those droopy eyes serve him well. Burt Reynolds is also excellently cast as the tough father figure. Gina Gershon is basicly making fun of her on screen persona here as a, well, horrible woman. Kip Pardue is excellent as the cocky young gun with a heart. Tig Schwiger is the cheif competetor against Bly, and he is good as the rival, not to be confused as the bad guy; he isn't. The rest of the cast is trivial. I guess I had a few minor problems with the movie. 1) Like I said before, the actors were perfect for their roles; maybe too perfect, like maybe the characters were written for the actors. 2) There is an accedent about half way through that looks way too bad for anyone to realisticlly get out of. 3) None of the characters seemed all that mad at each other. The end was resolved too easily. But for all that, "Driven" was cool, with lots of exciting race scenes (especially through Chicago), genuine respect between each other, and I liked how all the characters made up at the end, even if it isn't realistic.

This review is from: Driven (Widescreen) (DVD)

I don't usually review things but I just want to say I really like this movie cause it has realistic characters, upbeat music with groove and great effects. Is it entirely realistic? No but its not a documentary. Its an action movie made for viewer enjoyment. Do you want to watch real racing? Tune in to NASCAR or the Speed Channel. Want to watch a movie that has racing in it? Get Driven.

This review is from: Driven (VHS Tape)

this one blew the racing movies off the map and into the spiraling abyss that falls forever. no good direction with its cheesy special effects, including when the rain hits the windows of the racecars, LAME AS HELLLLL!!!!! Stallone, Reynolds, PArdue, Schwieger, Warren, Sean Leonard, DeLAFuente and Gershon(who looks like she was working on the streets, literally) are totally and utterly boring. I had no fun, even if they raced sports cars around the city. race after yawn after yawn. the part where Stallone, Schwieger and Pardue help DeLAFuente after his car crashed I wanted them all to just burn in the fires. dont waste a breathe

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie for racing fans
While everyone knows that Stallone has done both great and terrible acting and writing jobs in the past, this one is, shall we say, not his best or worst. Read more
