Review: “Driven” from @LoveIndieFilms.
~~~
If you’re a child of the ‘80s, there’s one car that pops into your mind the moment you think about the era; a vehicle made famous by Robert Zemeckis’s "Back to the Future" series and infamous throughout automotive history. The DMC 12 or, as more commonly known, the DeLorean, is the epitome of the era in which it’s built: futuristic, extravagant, and glamorous, yet also too-far reaching and absolutely busted. With its silver-coated look, unique body shape, and winged-doors, the DeLorean captured the imagination of everyone who saw it, but due to a myriad of issues behind the scenes, it never quite lived up to its potential. For many, their knowledge of the DMC 12 begins and ends with the car, but director Nick Hamm ("Killing Bono") wants to change that with "Driven," a film inspired by true events which offers insight, not into the car, but the rather into the exciting circumstances which lead to the downfall of its creator, illustrious automotive designer John DeLorean. Presented as a tragicomedy, Hamm’s "Driven" is a morality play mixed with a confidence story in which pride and greed lead to the downfall of everything, requiring a resilience and nerve to stay ahead of the game.
