I liked it.

Most of the users here seem to hate Driven. I think I just have to defend it a little bit, as it wasn't nearly as bad as the comments I'd read suggested. Of course this is no masterpiece, but I stopped hoping for that from Sly films long time ago. But as an average entertainment it wasn't that bad. For anyone that has watched Formula 1, I would like to say that we can't judge the amount of advertisements in this film, as that is what these car races are partly all about (plus the pretty girls as well), and without it, it would have looked fake. Not to mention that much of the movie was filmed during actual races, giving it a realistic feel. The script was nothing out of the ordinary, and had several clichés, but it didn't go complete by the formula though. For example, we didn't have any Bad or Good guys, just ordinary people, making good or bad decisions. The best part was that Sly was not a hero, but a burnout  and known for it. He was clumsy in his attempt to help the new guy, and displayed well that he wasn't all-knowing. The race scenes were well done though a bit over the top on couple of occasions. Pretty good entertainment. 6/10
