Driven

A former NASCAR champion comes out of retirement to help a young, talented driver navigate the pressures of professional racing and win the championship. As they form a bond, they face intense rivalries, personal demons, and life-threatening crashes on the track.

Driven was widely panned by critics and audiences alike, often cited for its convoluted plot, poor dialogue, and excessive focus on racing action over character development. It was a significant box office disappointment.

• Criticized for its nonsensical plot and over-reliance on racing sequences.
• Noted for weak performances and uninspired dialogue.
• Considered a significant disappointment and one of the worst racing films.

Google audience: Audience reviews were largely negative, with many finding the film boring and lacking in compelling characters or a coherent story. Some praised the racing scenes, but felt they couldn't salvage the overall experience.

Nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Director (Renny Harlin).

Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote and directed parts of the film, insisted on including a character that mirrored his own early career struggles as a struggling actor.
