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…Lee Pace gives a fairly mesmerising central performance as John DeLorean, probably his career best.

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

Stephen Silver Splice Today Dec 20, 2019 3.5/5
An oddly specific story to make a movie about with somewhat odd choice of focuses, but it works

Amelia Harvey Frame Rated Dec 1, 2019 4/5
Driven skirts over the facts in order to offer audiences a light-hearted dramedy reminiscent of American Hustle (2013).

Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Nov 15, 2019
It won't have much cinematic impact...but I quite enjoyed it, even though it's spectacularly wiggy.

Jamie East The Sun (UK) Nov 12, 2019 3/5
There's a really good story in there, but the makers chose to focus on all the wrong parts.

It all adds up to a fun and entertaining ride.

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Nov 11, 2019 3.5/5
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.

Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) Nov 11, 2019 3/5
Well-acted and well-made by British director Nick Hamm, although with familiar elements.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Nov 11, 2019 2/5
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.

Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) Nov 8, 2019 2/5
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.

James Bartlett Film Ireland Magazine 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.

Tim Hayes Sight & Sound Nov 8, 2019
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.

David Jenkins Little White Lies Nov 8, 2019 2/5
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.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian Nov 8, 2019 3/5
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).

Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 7, 2019 2/5
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.

Rich Phippen HeyUGuys Nov 7, 2019 3/5
A crazy enough true story, written well enough to warrant attention, even if it doesn't quite deliver the emotional impact the story promises.

Emma Simmonds The List Nov 5, 2019 2/5
Fans of hilarious hairpieces and outlandish acting are best served by the end result; anyone else can safely give this a miss.

Dave Calhoun Time Out Nov 1, 2019 2/5
It's like someone got hold of all the wardrobe rejects from 'Boogie Nights' and built a movie around them.
