Has a film ever had more wrong with it?

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2005)

Driven is possibly the worst film ever made by Sly Stallone. There are so many things wrong with this film that its difficult to know where to start. Sly wants us to believe that Driven is depicting Formula One, yet it is painfully obvious to anybody with even a remote knowledge of motorsport that the single seaters in this flick are Champ Cars! Also, since when did Formula One cars start racing round ovals Sly? Can you answer that? No of course you can't, because the only Formula One oval action comes at the final turn of the Indianapolis circuit! The standards of acting in this film are beyond embarrassing, they are utterly imbecilic! Sly is as wooden as mahogany, whilst Burt Reynolds does an extremely poor Frank Williams impression. Oh what Sly? Was that supposed to be convincing. The film has no credibility at all! This film is so unbelievable it is annoying! The scene in which Sly and his team-mate race Champ Cars around the streets AT NIGHT IN FULL TRAFFIC WITHOUT HELMETS is so absurd that some kind of fine needs to be imposed! Firstly, it is impossible to start a Champ Car without electronic help and a team of mechanics, secondly your face would be blown apart even at low speed in a Champ Car minus helmet and thirdly, the bumps and potholes of an unprepared street would probably destroy the suspension! Come on Sly, how on earth did you think you could get away with that one? The acting is appalling, nobody shines in any way. The lines couldn't be more clichéd. The racing scenes look less convincing that some cheap old computer game. The storyline is dire and couldn't be more predictable if it got down on its knees and begged! The ending defies belief and is possibly the most contrived conclusion I have ever seen! Sly what were you thinking? This is junk! This is filth! This is beyond terrible! I cannot express how completely rubbish Driven is! Sly has starred in many great movies, Rambo and Copland springing to mind, but with this tepid offering he gives massive ammunition to his critics! In fact he gives them a nuclear bomb!!!!!!!!! Driven is one of those films that should never have been made! Sly we know you wanted to make Rocky on wheels, but with this you have tarnished your entire career!!! This film should win awards for how unbelievably bad it is! Worth seeing if only to marvel at how wrong Sly got it.
