Storyline

After he's busted for smuggling coke on his plane, Jim Hoffman has a chance to start over in a lush, affluent suburb of San Diego. Jim and his wife, Ellen are surprised to find maverick auto mogul John DeLorean lives in a glamorous house down the street. Soon an unexpected friendship forms between the two men, just as John's new venture--the DeLorean Motor Company--is taking off. But with the FBI pushing Jim to inform on his flashy former dealer, Morgan Hetrick and John's financing falling through the cracks, things are far from idyllic...and about to take a dark turn. Based on the real events that would become the celebrity scandal of its generation.

Goofs

When Ellen discovers the microphone taped to Jim's chest, she rips it off leaving a slight bald spot on Jim's very hairy chest. However, as the scene progresses, the bald spot disappears, the hanging microphone changes position and absolutely no hair appears on the, perfectly "X" shaped, tape that was once stuck to all that hair.

User Reviews

A disappointing effort

The second of two productions about John DeLorean I've seen recently, this was by far the weakest. Lee Pace was fine but underused; the majority of the running time is taken up with Jason Sudeikis annoyingly stammering through his scenes in what seems like a comedy. There are scant details of the events or people involved, despite the almost two-hour length.

If you want to see the real story of the man, and his unfortunate downfall, watch the superior Framing John DeLorean docu-drama with Alec Baldwin.
