“Driven” (* out of four) was an almost completely inept melodrama about a female cab driver (Casey Dillard) who picks up a mysterious and strange passenger (Richard Speight, Jr.) which turns her night inside-out and she realizes she’s battling an evil entity that may threaten her sanity and thus her life. Opening half-hour may remind you a lot of Michael Mann’s “Collateral” but it’s the best part of the movie as film veers disastrously into several other directions which are pretentious and incoherent. Annoying characters and performances are icing on the cake. You’ll want to put the brakes on this mess long before its running time is up.
