Rated: 1/5 Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Driven | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 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.

Kyle M 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-) Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Tyler S 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. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review mark g Nice talent assembled, but sadly without a script or direction. Really poorly done. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review P H 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Otvio F It's not a bad movie, it's ok. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/21 Full Review Read all reviews
