Overview

Talented rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly has started losing his focus and begins to slip in the race rankings. It's no wonder, with the immense pressure being shoveled on him by his overly ambitious promoter brother as well as Bly's romance with his arch rival's girlfriend Sophia. With much riding on Bly, car owner Carl Henry brings former racing star Joe Tanto on board to help Bly. To drive Bly back to the top of the rankings, Tanto must first deal with the emotional scars left over from a tragic racing accident which nearly took his life.

Sylvester Stallone's homoerotic car-racing actioner delivers something between Speed Racer and gay porn.

Why waste your quarters on the video games in the mall when you can pay $10 to see the same thing on the big screen?

Driven is one of those wince-inducing movies that makes you wonder if every single person involved was deliberately trying to embarrass themselves.

Driven is all over the map in more ways than one.

A paint-by-numbers affair.
