A cutting-edge action drama about an exciting cast of characters living life in the fastest of lanes, in the thrilling and dangerous world of high-tech car racing. Rookie Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue) could go all the way, but not without the help of fallen legend Joe Tanto (Sylvester Stallone) or without the love of another racer's girl (Estella Warren).

Underdeveloped characters, silly plot dynamics, and obvious CG effects.

Despite a couple of action packed race scenes, it would be more fun spending the day in a traffic jam.

Less a look at Formula One than a pilot for a flat sub-Aaron Spelling sudser that just happens to be set in the world of auto racing.

It flaws were intentional and mocks the critics with out them knowing the films greatness, F1 the Brad Pitt film sees what it was doing back then and took it as partial inspiration. The joke on the critics? Gamers follow the action seamlessly with visual acuity and appreciate and recognize the turns in action and story where the average critic Cannot. an F1 film built for the Eyes trained like F1 racers.

Oft-times charismatic humor is a rare, pleasant effect, only acknowledged wakefully in bits, amidst how messily flawed and dull it sloppily ignites under utter indecisive coordination, inclusively between specious CGI and unheard script. (C-)

It was unbelievably generic, felt very dull, had some lazy writing, and had nothing to keep me entertained. I literally looked at my phone multiple times for 5 minutes and went back to the film seemingly not missing a thing. Even the graphics are super choppy and very unrealistic.

Nice talent assembled, but sadly without a script or direction. Really poorly done.

With a bad script, but also with fantastic action scenes, and a chase with Indy Cars in the streets that makes this a watchable movie, despite the poorly worked script.

A mostly forgotten little car film. Well it had a budget of almost 100 Million so it wasn't that small. Driven does produce some good car scenes however there is very little in the way of characters or much else. I may also add, this film is like the most 2000s movie ever. I SWEAR!
