Horrible...

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2001)

As a 7th year CART fan, I can tell you this movie was horribly inaccurate and just plain bad. Facts are so off; IMDb will have a field day with the goofs in this movie. The plot was weak, and inconsistencies are everywhere. (e.g.: Methanol burns clear, and dilutes EASILY with water; last year (2000), Mercedes-Benz dropped out of CART; pit-lane DOES happen to have a speed limit). How about the seen in the previews when they're racing through traffic on an open street? Well, that's likely not going to happen seeing how the belly of those cars rest maybe 1-3 inches off of the ground. If you like fast-paced, fake action, see Driven, but if you're a CART fan hoping that finally the movie has come for your favorite racing series ... sorry, this movie will only disappoint. The movie tries to make up for lack of good material by flashing the occasional shot of some hot chick. This movie was in no way a better than any movie Sly was in, it will never even compete with movies like Judge Dredd, and ESPECIALLY not with any of the Rocky flicks ... yes, even Rocky 5 was better than Driven.
