If only it weren't such a disturbingly retro and sadistically sensationalized take on the subject. If only it were any good at all.

Like some of King's other tales, it loses its way, devolving into a rape revenge fantasy whose potency is diluted by silly gimmicks like a talking GPS system with a mind of its own.
Lori Rackl, Chicago Sun-Times

Solid star turn, eerie production values, even a killer ending. Nice symmetry, Steve.
Diane Werts, Newsday
Rotten
Such commercial considerations notwithstanding, in the wake of a recent run of cynical Lifetime movie topics, from Saved by the Bell to Brittany Murphy, Big Driver runs into another creative dead end.
Brian Lowry, Variety
Fresh
A few horror-story cliches seep in, but with Bello playing a character who is strikingly unglamorous and at times not even sympathetic, Big Driver should deliver for its audience.
David Hinckley, New York Daily News
