Ebert & Roeper: Read more

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Though Harlin's skill compensates for a lot of narrative preposterousness, even it is overmatched this time around. Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: Driven looks as fake as it feels. Read more

A.O. Scott, New York Times: Even fans of open-wheel racing, the high-speed, high-stress pastime that is the subject of Renny Harlin's hectic new film, may walk away from it more logy than exhilarated. Read more

Doug Kim, Seattle Times: Driven is one of those wince-inducing movies that makes you wonder if every single person involved was deliberately trying to embarrass themselves. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Why waste your quarters on the video games in the mall when you can pay $10 to see the same thing on the big screen? Read more

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A loud, frantic racing commercial. Read more

Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: In his first solo writing credit since Rocky V (1990), Stallone has turned out an old-fashioned sports drama that thrives by knowing when to wallow in cliches and when to turn them on their heads. Read more

Malcolm Ritter, Associated Press: The racing footage will blow you away. Read more

Steven Rosen, Denver Post: A film that comes at you like a flashing strobe light. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Driven is mostly preposterous, and it has no dramatic center, but the racing scenes hold you in their death-trip grip. Read more

Globe and Mail: Read more

Lawrence Terenzi, Mr. Showbiz: A slick, simplistic, and laughable effort that's reminiscent of a bad Jerry Bruckheimer film. A really bad Bruckheimer film. Read more

John Anderson, Newsday: Pushing his pointless technique way ahead of any kind of content-to say nothing of drama -- Harlin eliminates any danger of intimacy. Read more

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Unless you find car racing to be a nearly orgasmic experience, Driven offers little in the way of entertainment. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A movie by, for and about the Attention Deficit Disordered. Read more

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: Sylvester Stallone's homoerotic car-racing actioner delivers something between Speed Racer and gay porn. Read more

Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Driven is all over the map in more ways than one. Read more

Time Out: Read more

Mike Clark, USA Today: A race-car drama full of flashy but empty images and a soundtrack that makes you feel as if you're being shaken on a motel rumblebed. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: Read more

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A music video shot by a Cops camera crew on crystal meth. Read more
