Director Nick Hamm and screenwriter Colin Bateman take this story and turn it into a hip, stylish crime saga, in the same vein as films like Blow and American Made, to name a few.

...Back to The Future fans, Ted Lasso admirers, petrol-heads and true-crime aficionados will find plenty here to draw them in...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2021

An enjoyable and sharply scripted movie that benefits from the charisma of its central players.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2020

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 20, 2019

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 1, 2019

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

| Nov 15, 2019

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2019

It all adds up to a fun and entertaining ride.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 11, 2019

It's a twisty, crazy story that would be hard to believe if it didn't really happen. British filmmakers Nick Hamm and Colin Bateman never quite make it feel like a California story, but they give the film a terrific disco vibe.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 11, 2019

Well-acted and well-made by British director Nick Hamm, although with familiar elements.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2019

Unfortunately, the film's jaunty, comedic tone too often backfires, not helped by Sudeikis, who doesn't seem sure whether he is playing for laughs or not.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2019

The comic tone sits rather uneasily with this limited drama, and you wonder if going more blackly comic might have made this more engaging. As it is, this is mildly entertaining but largely forgettable.

The film gives Pace a blank canvas on which to deploy more screen presence than everyone else combined, often just by directing a deep gaze in the general direction of the camera.

| Nov 8, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2019

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).

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 8, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2019

A crazy enough true story, written well enough to warrant attention, even if it doesn't quite deliver the emotional impact the story promises.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2019

Fans of hilarious hairpieces and outlandish acting are best served by the end result; anyone else can safely give this a miss.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2019

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 1, 2019
