Yes the movie is like the DMC, it starts on a high note, losses track in between and the end it simply torturing.
Though based on true events the movie is made too boring, it can put you to sleep. Jason Sudeikis guess forgot that it was not a funny movie and his main role was not carried out so nicely.
I saw only for the love of the car and that too due to Back to the Future.
...if it wasn't for the terrible writing. The screenplay had many plot and technical issues. The pacing was terrible that the 108 min run-time felt much longer. Too many long dragged out/unnecessary scenes that should've been edited down/out to fix the plot issues - e.g. why the briefcase (without giving away any spoilers) - an important omission of that detail, no? The editing wasn't any better. The sound/score was off and out of place in some scenes. Directing/camera work and cinematography was decent, but the production overall still felt like a low budget B-grade film from inexperienced filmmakers. On the plus side, casting was great and all actors where convincing, especially Lee Pace and Jason Sudeikis. Overall it was still an enjoyable biopic on John DeLorean. It's a generous 7/10 from me
I saw the movie last night in Venice Film Festival. It was such good that suited to the closing night of the Biennale. Especially Lee Pace proves his acting talent every time apart from his shining charisma. I don't really know about the real background of the story but it was a well-shot one with its balanced rythm, flowing script and developed characters.
That is my major complaint about this movie. He is made to be a sympathetic character in this movie, always talking about how he wants to "save all his workers jobs". That man would have fired his mother if it meant he profited from it.
He screwed over so many people in his life. He stole a patent from a trusting business associate and then made his life hell when he tried to get back what was his life's work.
I really liked both John and the informants performance in this, I just wish it was a little more accurate when it came to Delorians true character, it would have made it more fun to enjoy watching his great downfall.

We saw this movie at it's premiere in Venice. Although a great story and depiction of the final demise of John Delorean, the film only barely touched on Delorean's meteoric rise through GM and barely touched on those accomplishments. Jason Sudeikis steals every scene he is in as Jim Hoffman, but Lee Pace's portrayal of John Delorean is spot-on of the methodical genius. Presented as a "based on true events" biopic, I feel a lot of dramatic licenses were taken in bringing the final story to film.
Did you know
- GoofsIn one of the first scenes, it is stated that the year is 1977, yet Ellen is shown to be driving an Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser that can only be as old as 1989. This is a massive oversight as the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser didn't exist at all until 1982, nor did any GM vehicle of that body style as the A-Body did not exist until 1982 either, let alone the updated version from 1989.
