Of course I haven't seen it yet, so I might be making a hasty generalization.

How the hell can these street punks afford to make these rides as fast and flashy as they appear in the previews? Do they all work at the local body or machine shop? Gimme a break. This has to be the most blatant encouragement of illegal street racing yet. I like to stomp on the gas as much as the next guy, but this movie looks like just plain 'ol crap.

I knew Driven was crap when:

1. The previews show the open-wheelers driving thru the city at night. Please.

2. The HBO special edition segment shows a clip of Sly (Joe Tanto? That's gay.) and some of the other racers helping a dude out of his car that went off the track and into a nearby pond- during the race! That dude would have drowned before anybody even got their safety belts off.

Today's car movies lick. Days of Thunder was the last one I liked. "He didn't hit you, he didn't smash you, he didn't bump you..... he rubbed you. And rubbin' is racin'." Cole Trickle, now that's a name!! Yeeeeee haw!
