The Film StageChristopher SchobertAug 12, 2019
Driven is a well-told, strongly-acted drama with real heart. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersAug 15, 2019
Driven, the year’s second DeLorean-inspired film, veers from glib comedy to character-driven drama to crime thriller, but director Hamm always has his hands on the wheel. Read full review

RogerEbert.comNell MinowAug 16, 2019
Driven is an odd or maybe ironic title because that man, Jim Hoffman, has a very un-driven demeanor, coming across as disarmingly impromptu, maybe some goofy charm. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawNov 23, 2019
What keeps the film going is simply the factual chaotic bizarreness of what is happening: an improvised deal on Iran-Contra levels of crookedness. Sudeikis is authentically bland and slippery. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerNov 5, 2019
An enjoyable if routine period crime picture with good performances from Jason Sudeikis and Lee Pace, but it lacks a personality and style of its own. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijAug 15, 2019
If the pic is ultimately an entertaining ride, it is because Sudeikis takes the audience by the hand through this very unlikely story that was inspired by true events. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeAug 15, 2019
Against the film’s own boisterous inclinations, Pace gives it something like a heart, albeit a closed, melancholic one: that’s some acting, and it’s maybe more than these agreeably derivative proceedings deserve. Like its less interesting chancer of a protagonist, however, Driven will take what brushes with greatness it can get. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAug 15, 2019
Somewhere deep inside Driven — Nick Hamm’s based-on-real-life crime caper — lies a fascinating movie. Read full review

TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanAug 15, 2019
Odd as it is to watch both DeLoreans treated as afterthoughts, Driven is a joyride more interested in the journey than in any significant destination. Read full review

New York PostJohnny OleksinskiAug 15, 2019
Driven is a lot like a DeLorean: Looks great, but moves slow — if it even moves at all. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinNov 8, 2019
Slaloming between Hoffman’s testimony at DeLorean’s trial and the caper that got both men there for no obvious reason beyond it being the way these things are usually done, the film obediently pads through the shaggy-dog motions. Read full review
