Driven

Sudeikis, alas, is no Cruise and his screen persona is too lightweight to inject the film with genuine empathy or to make it anything other than a disposable teaser for the deeper, darker DeLorean drama that will inevitably follow.

Hamm and writer Colin Bateman are far too soft on everyone involved, presenting the two "heroes" as misguided innocents ensnared in a web of street crime and FBI corruption.

Screenwriter and novelist Colin Bateman has here scripted a flashy but watchable true-crime thriller in the style of American Made (2017) or Blow (2001).

Nick Hamm's period biopic attempts to turn this tall-sounding tale into American Hustle on wheels: alas, the results have all the dramatic horsepower of a mobility scooter.

It's like someone got hold of all the wardrobe rejects from 'Boogie Nights' and built a movie around them.

Jason Sudeikis specializes in characters hiding canniness with slightly sleazy charm, and so he is ideally cast as Hoffman.

An oddly specific story to make a movie about with somewhat odd choice of focuses, but it works

Driven skirts over the facts in order to offer audiences a light-hearted dramedy reminiscent of American Hustle (2013).

It won't have much cinematic impact...but I quite enjoyed it, even though it's spectacularly wiggy.

There's a really good story in there, but the makers chose to focus on all the wrong parts.
