In the early 1980s, Jim Hoffman, a drug smuggling pilot, is forced to become an informant for the FBI. His new next door neighbour turns out to be John DeLorean, who is running out of legal funding for his ambitious car project. This enjoyable but forgettable fact-based caper comedy depicts the peculiar circumstances which brought these real-life characters together for a brief moment, which is now just a footnote in history. Jason Sudeikis and Lee Pace give strong but contrasting performances.
