Good racing but bad acting

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2004)

This is a good movie for those who like dramatic racing scenes. If you are into movies for their theatrical value I would steer away from Driven. Sly Stallone does his best as a coach to a new and promising young driver (Kip Purdue). The two begin to have a friendship similar to one in Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall. Kip Purdue is still trying to find his acting talent, which he really doesn't show here, this being only his second lead role. If you are a hard core racing fan you will like the race sequences, but if you are movie buff you are going to notice the bad acting, fast scene changes, and weak plot. Not a bad soundtrack though.
