Title: "Rocky" On Wheels
Review: "Driven" may be the only racing flick in which no one gets killed - just as it would happen in real life. Still, this second Sylvester Stallone-Renny Harlin collaboration is fairly enjoyable on a junk-food-cinema level. The racing sequences are exciting (despite some obvious digital effects) and, surprisingly, Stallone's character takes a back seat to the young leads. However, one wishes Stallone had written a screenplay that wasn't a "Rocky" retread - right down to casting Burt Reynolds in the Burgess Meredith role. As a result, "Driven" covers the same narrative ground that you've seen in previous Stallone efforts. Though not a bad film, it's easy to understand why "Driven" crashed and burned with movie audiences.
