Sylvester Stallone's dizzying, high-octane comeback vehicle does for auto racing what his breakout film Rocky did for boxing: makes it less about competition for prize money and more about character building and spiritual renewal. Stallone (who, in another parallel to Rocky, wrote the screenplay with himself in mind) plays a retired driver who reluctantly returns to the track at the behest of racing promoter Burt Reynolds. When rookie phenom Kip Pardue begins spiraling out of control, the old pro Sly is detailed to rein in the kid and keep his mind on the upcoming competitions. Romantic rivalry rears its head in the lissome form of supermodel Estella Warren, who takes up with Pardue after being dumped by champ Til Schweiger, and secondary female roles are well played by Stacy Edwards and Gina Gershon. As befitting the movie's subject matter, the direction of previous Stallone collaborator Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger) is hyperkinetic: The camera (often handheld) darts and swishes from one character to another, often cutting away before a shot's action has been completed. The editing is rapid enough to make the average music video appear lethargic by comparison. Driven aspires to be nothing more than a great popcorn movie, and it succeeds admirably by virtue of its nonstop action and pulse-pounding thrills. The DVD features two original documentaries, "The Making of Driven" and "Conquering Speed Through Live Action and Visual Effects," and sports a full-length commentary by director Harlin, in addition to deleted scenes, a music video, and cast-filmmaker career highlights.
