Why on earth anyone would purposely put the insufferable Alec Baldwin, speaking as himself, in a film about John DeLorean, I cannot fathom. I cannot tell you how much contempt I have for this idea. Do a documentary or do a 온라인카지노추천 movie of the week; but don't slap both of those together, to form a messy hodge podge like this! If good ole Alec had been left out, I would give it 4 stars.

This film is incredible. What a innovative approach to documentary storytelling. The mashup of doc, high end scripted scenes, and behind the scenes verite with Alec and the other actors offers a great way to have this story unfold.

Could of done without the behind the scenes chat with the actors, but a solid doco that tries to convey what drove this man to do what he did.

I was disappointed. I expected nefarious goings on by government agencies on behalf of GM to nail the poor guy. While there was a dirt bag confidential informant and some actions that could be considered entrapment by federal investigators, no great shakes compared to the title. An overview of his life (business and personal) from Pontiac to the demise of the DMC was interesting. Interviews with his bitter, poverty striken, potty mouthed son could have been reduced.

I found this interesting in terms of the story, what happened to the company and the legal case etc. that followed, which I hadn't previously been aware of. However, I found the acted parts with Alec Baldwin portraying John DeLorean rather distracting and I didn't think it fully worked. I'd rather they use genuine library/archive footage and talking heads to discuss what happened - which, by the way, they do but the mix of that and acted scenes, reconstructions, jarred with me. I found it a bit hard to follow some of the aspects, the finer details of what happened and I wouldn't say its an especially engrossing or gripping watch but if your interested in the story, you do learn some things and also I did enjoy hearing from John's children. That aspect was insightful, how his kids reacted to what happened and their memories of things. This is a somewhat interesting documentary, which seems to be not 100% sure if it wants to be the 온라인카지노추천 documentary show it mainly is, or if it wants to somehow also be a more glitzy Hollwood drama film, which it isn't really. It doesn't really work entirely but its still ok, hence my rating. I wouldn't go out of your way to watch it though, unless your particularly keen on the subject as such. I'm still a bit unclear about quite how he was framed, frankly.

Gosto de documentários com protagonistas ambíguos e polêmicos, aqui a dúvida é visionário ou vigarista... Basicamente John comete dois grandes erros, ao fazer duas grandes escolhas de forma completamente equivocadas, aumentar a produção de veículos defeituosos e a principal, negociar com narcotraficantes, ainda que tenha sido vítima, ao cair como isca do informante e do FBI... Como o filho bem disse depois "para mim, é uma faca de dois gumes o tempo todo, à prova de que tinha sido armado estavam lá, mas o senso comum e a realidade me dizem que ele não era o idiota, que ele devia ter suspeitado que ia dar m****"

An interesting story presented in a unique way that probably ventured to far into self reference for me. Interviewing an actor, while they are dressed for the role, about the character he is playing in the recreated scenes for a documentary where the historical footage not only exists but is being presented alongside the reenactments, is something I had never seen until now.

Once again, The pompous Alec Baldwin has to make the story about himself. He couldn't be satisfied just playing the part of John Delorian. He had to make the story about Alec playing John Delorian. It's a shame because the real Delorian story is very interesting. This film actually includes the badly filmed footage of Alec putting on makeup and talking on a cell phone. It's laughable (not in a good way).

Alex Baldwin could never suppress his ego long enough to get into the role. An interest story but Baldwin was 40 pounds too heavy and too much weight was given to his opinion about the subject matter. With a different actor it might have been more watchable.

I love documentaries and was hoping this would be an excellent one. It was not. The writers completely eliminate any background on Delorean, such as when and where he was born, how he was raised, etc. The musings of the actors (particularly Baldwin) detracted from the story and were too subjective to take seriously. I considered giving this 3 stars if only for the good parts that were real newsreel footage. However, the reliance of recreations was extensive, and it lost a solid star because of the vulgarity of the son who used the f word in virtually every sentence. His utter classlessness detracted form the documentary. Then the writers used the same vulgarity in th end credits. Very disappointing.

It's hard to believe that it took this long to make this . What was interesting is the life of John DeLorean , what was a lot less interesting was anything Alec Baldwin had to say.

If I wanted to watch a docu about Alec Baldwin's acting process, well I wouldn't want to watch that so there's no "then" but you catch the drift. Why do we need to know how he finds his inspiration as an actor in a documentary about John DeLorean? Or really, about any of the documentary making process? I am pretty sure they make docu's about making docu's so we're kinda covered. Way too much horn tooting from Alec, et. al. Lee Pace did a superb job playing DeLorean in Driven, so watching poorly made up Alec try to match that was just sad. *sidenote: what has happened to the make up industry in Hollywood? The wigs alone are hideous in period pieces! Where have all the good artists gone? * Now, all of that nonsense aside the documentary itself was way too slow. Delorean was such a mysterious, fascinating guy, why take so long to tell the story? Keep the viewer hooked, not so bored they turn it off...which is what I ended up having to do. Oh well. $.02

This documentary was great. The entire crew did an excellent job of bringing John DeLorean's story to life. Alec Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Josh Charles, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job as well to reenact particular moments of his life. This true story was very dramatic and shocking. John DeLorean was a clever man who had it all and then just made the biggest mistake of his life that ruined not only his career, but his life. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.

A well done documentary/reenactment of the life and career of John DeLorean. There are many storytellers here and connections throughout this timeline which can be choppy. The overlap between documentary and actor portrayals is not a bad thing; unsure it adds anything either. John DeLorean could generate excitement as proven with the GTO – building something that people wanted but didn't exist yet. But for DMC, it all came down to the car design itself IMO. Lackluster engine and performance combined with cases of poor user experiences due to quality control and design issues. Somewhat reminiscent of Tesla in today's world – going up against the big car makers and by doing so, influencing car design in general. Now if only Bollinger Motors could manufacture a model in the $40-50K range.

Scene: Office Interior, daytime. A director is making a pitch to a producer. Director: So I have this fantastic outline for a documentary about John DeLorean. It's got everything: glamour, fashion, models, money, drugs, fast cars - you name it. It's such a brilliant story I can't believe it has never been told. It's about one man taking on the the unassailable might of the US motor industry and how he very nearly made it before a spectacular fall from grace. Producer: Alec Baldwin? Director: I'm sorry? Producer: What about Alec Baldwin? Director: Well as a documentary we weren't thinking we would need actors particularly. Maybe some talking heads from the car industry. I guess some famous petrol heads, maybe Jay Leno… but we don't really need to add stars to this story, it kind of has everything already. One of the great aspects of this is that we have amazing footage from every part of the story right now. DeLorean was such a rising star that his career at GM was documented almost from the beginning. We have all the DeLorean development footage, the police footage of the bust, courtroom footage everything. Producer: Hmm. But no Alec Baldwin? Director:………….. Producer: How about we do up Alec Baldwin in prosthetics (with lengthy segments devoted to this) and have him REENACT key moments from the narrative? Now wouldn't that be great? Director: Well, I erm,.. we don't really…. Producer: And then. AND THEN - We get Alec Baldwin to muse, at length, on what was going on in John DeLorean's head during each part. Based on his having acted out short segments of DeLorean's life, you see. It would give him an UNIQUE insight into the mind of the man. Director: Well, I… er. I guess.. Producer: NO ONE HAS EVER made a documentary like this before. It is GENIUS. Director: Well, if you say so, then I suppose…

Framing DeLorean is the best film out there that addresses JZD's company, personal life, and of course the famous ‘drug bust'. It includes a complete factual account of the DeLorean story available. Primarily because it's based on the mountain of research Tamir Ardon (DeLorean Historian) has collected since the late 90's. Whether you're a DMC owner, a fan of the car, or the man behind the car, it's definitely worth renting or streaming on Hulu. Matt Carpenter, Proud owner of #5144

From watching this there's always two sides to ever story. This film lets you decide on what side you want to take.

Fantastic film. A very unique format and way to tell this story.

I rented this on Amazon Prime and I would like to get my $5 back. I have always been a fan of Baldwin's work and still think he should have won an Oscar for The Cooler, but this is pretty bad. Really little more than a bunch of behind the scenes takes from a movie that was never made, spliced into a documentary that could have stood on its own. And it couldn't have made any less than the $145K that this one grossed.

It was decent. I liked the actual automotive history and the background of he and his kids, as well as the interview with the kids. And Christina Ferrare was a babe back then! But no one needs to see pompous Alec Baldwin getting makeup.
