Stallone should be more careful

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2002)

DRIVEN is bad film, and it's a shame that it's such a bad film. It is comprised of stale themes and painfully predictable "plot twists" that are barely interesting (and nearly all were present in DAYS OF THUNDER),all being performed by
characters that are so wooden that you can't care about them even a little. That is, except for Stallone's character. Sly pulls of a decent acting job in this film and does the best that he could with the rather weak dialogue he had.
Stallone seems to have grown in his capabilities as an actor and it is clear he doesn't always want to play the hero role any longer as his roles in DRIVEN and COPLAND indicate. It's a shame that Sly can't pick his vehicles for his new take on acting more carefully. He should stay away from stale, been-there-done-that films and concentrate on more edgy indie style themed films if he wants to
regain the respect of the film world that he lost after Rocky.
