Walking down the street one day, he and his fiancée are attacked by two men and, while Driver dispatches both, his fiancée is killed.</p> <p>Sinking back into anonymity, aided by his friend Felix, an ex-gangbanger and Desert Storm vet, Driver retreats but finds that his past stalks him and will not stop. He has to turn and face it. Because he drives. That's what he does.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>DRIVEN</i> is a lean and nasty piece of neo-noir.
