DRIVEN (Theatrical Release USA 2001)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Driven—racing film—surprisingly accesses the acting skills of Sylvester Stallone. While this is not one of his best films, it gets the job done for racing fans. Director Renny Harlin put effort into making this film work. His skill definitely pulls it out of the mire onto solid ground.
