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
