Driven

Blonde Frauen, Brüste, Autos, harte Kerle, der Nachspann. Eine visuell attraktive Spielfilmversion von Baywatch - Die Rettungsschwimmer von Malibu mit Formeln. Es wäre ein fataler Fehler, diesen Film ernst zu nehmen. Renny Harlin hatte nur Spaß. Wir sollten zusammen mit ihm Spaß haben! (12.06.2004)

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, the racing scenes are perfectly directed, on the other, there’s Sly’s script full of clichés, including a chase scene in the streets of Tokio. I’m sorry for Renny Harlin, he's a terrific director who deserves good scripts and a little luck to get back in the spotlight. And I’m sorry for Sly, too, I have a weak spot for him. He tried to make a new Rocky, but it didn’t work out. Can this be his swan song? (01.12.2002)

Very poor insight into the F1 world. If I don't take it seriously, then 1 star. Take it seriously? Boo! (10.01.2012)

This is around the point when Sly stopped dishing out bullets and punches and started replacing them with mentoring ramblings. It was meant to be a parallel with the acting sandwich, where you can't always be at the top, but you can channel your energy and experience to support others; however, it resulted in nothing more than a mediocre racing film that felt as artificial as Burt Reynolds' tan. The CGI effects are laughable, and some performances are so bad that a Safety Car should hit the track. (09.03.2021)
