"Driven"
You know how you sit and watch a movie and everything is going
along fine until a scene comes on the screen that is so out
of place you get thrown for a loop?
Well that happens in "Driven". The movie has a good
set up and as it follows several Hollywood clichés
it doesn't over do the cliché'.
Even though Sylvester Stallone wrote, produced and stars in
this movie, it is not a Stallone film. He doesn't dominate
the screen time, he doesn't over act and he doesn't pull a
power trip. What he does do is play an Obi Won Kenobi type
character, which could be his future.
The racing and driving scenes are the best ever done, the
camera work is incredible and the editing is great.
The cast is strong and believable and they all hold their
own. There are new faces that add a freshness to the film.
The screenplay parallels Stallone's life as a family man and
an actor. We can see through his words that he has learned
from the mistakes he made and is now giving something back.
If it wasn't for one particularly laughable scene this movie
would be great, but instead it is just good.
