Driven (2001)
After many years writer/actor Sylvester Stallone got his racing project to the screen with director Renny Harling and co-stars Burt Reynolds, Kip Pardue, Til Schweiger, Estella Warren and Gina Gershon. A veteran driver is brought in to help a young hot shot win the ChampCar World Series.
Any sports film lives or dies on it's depiction of the sport involved and this film is just terrible in that respect. There are physics bending crashes that are so obviously CGI it hurts as well as events that are just so stupid they have no place in a serious film. While there are some promising elements in the set up and character back story it is all ruined by the idiotic execution of the film.
2/5
