The extremely unpleasant drama "Driven to the Edge" focuses on a female serial killer, who indiscriminately draws her victims into her orbit as a glorified taxi driver with a company called "Roller." The poor soul inside her vehicle is entrapped in a lair from which there will be no escape.
It was not only grisly, but highly unconvincing that the killer Jaye would use a baseball bat as the preferred method of execution. The names of the real life "Jolly" Jane Toppan (a sicko nurse) and Dorothea Puente (the deranged proprietor of a boarding house) are mentioned in the film and presumably serve as role models for Jaye, which is an alias for "Cindy." As a child, little Cindy was coaxed by her mother into killing her abusive father. The thrill of killing with the baseball bat became Cindy's lifelong habit.
The mood becomes more and more nauseating as Jaye attempts to groom Tess into becoming her partner in crime. The fairly lame "twist" in the narrative is that Tess turns out to be the baby sister of Cindy. That is no consolation for Tess's friends, Olive and Isaac, as well as for Tess's boyfriend, Danny, who are all murdered by "Jaye."
The film's conclusion was especially muddied in that Jaye inexplicably evades the authorities and continues to lure victims into her vehicle, as she continues apace with her killing spree as a driver. This slow-paced, lugubrious film thus becomes a perpetual a roller derby through hell.

Roller Derby Through Hell
Psycho self-pep talking into descent of murders.
Also Known as "Deadly Rideshare". Another decent female thriller of Lifetime Movies / Marvista Entertainment provenience. I view this movie differently than those who condemned it as 'terrible' or 'zero star' and I managed to finish watching it till very end. I did mentioned it's a female thriller with respect to the moments when the female psycho character pep-talks herself in the mirror and the fashion clothing that runs wild. As the second title 'Deadly Rideshare' tells, the thriller draws from latest trends of Uber car-share worldwide, uber smartphones' apps yet the storyline and the plot is pretty digestible for average person. Yeah, the pattern of the psychopath's behavioural descent into violence and more marasmus is so typical old tune with Lifetime movies but the fans of Lifetime Movies revel in just that - always recycled takes on psychos causing misery and mayhem.
If zero available I'd zero star
I have watched some real "beauties" (sarcasm) of movies, but this one was the pits. Worse ever
