Negative Positive
Title: An Extreme Waste of Celluloid
Review: I had high hopes for Driven. As a fan of open-wheel racing, I was hoping for action tied together with a good storyline. Plus, I hadn't seen a recent Stallone film, so I was interested to see how he would fare in Driven.Fortunately, I only rented Driven, and did not buy it or pay to see it in cinema. Overall, the acting was so bad and the storyline to inept that I barely got halfway through the film before I was too fed up to continue with it. While actual ABC/ESPN auto racing announcers are featured, they do not call the film's races ANYWHERE close to reality; I realize things for a film are scripted, but the passion simply is not there. The three-coin trick was intriguing, but that was the highlight of the first half of the film - which certainly does not bode well for the second half :-(
Is the review positive or negative?
