It's too simple and straightforward for its own good.

Such commercial considerations notwithstanding, in the wake of a recent run of cynical Lifetime movie topics, from Saved by the Bell to Brittany Murphy, Big Driver runs into another creative dead end.

It's a powerful film - not because its story of a vengeful female will shine a light on social injustices, but simply because it grips viewers and doesn't let go until the credits are rolling. Maria Bello is a pain-stricken wonder.

An often toothless and ridiculous rape revenge thriller...

Like some of King's other tales, it loses its way, devolving into a rape revenge fantasy whose potency is diluted by silly gimmicks like a talking GPS system with a mind of its own.

Big Driver is slimmer in content, as well as form, than Misery, but it is nonetheless gripping.

Solid star turn, eerie production values, even a killer ending. Nice symmetry, Steve.

A few horror-story cliches seep in, but with Bello playing a character who is strikingly unglamorous and at times not even sympathetic, Big Driver should deliver for its audience.

If only it weren't such a disturbingly retro and sadistically sensationalized take on the subject. If only it were any good at all.

You've gotta really be willing to throw logic out the window to enjoy "Big Driver," a revenge-thriller based on the Stephen King novella. But, as TV movies go, it isn't that bad and certainly the cast is excellent.
