Money, power, politics, drugs, scandal, and fast cars. The incredible story of John DeLorean is the stuff of a Hollywood screenwriter's dreams. But who was the real John DeLorean? To some, he was a renegade visionary who revolutionized the automobile industry. To others, he was the ultimate con man. For the first time, Framing John DeLorean recounts the extraordinary life and legend of the controversial automaker, tracing his meteoric rise through the ranks of General Motors, his obsessive quest to build a sports car that would conquer the world, and his shocking fall from grace on charges of cocaine trafficking. Interweaving a treasure trove of archival footage with dramatic vignettes starring Alec Baldwin, Framing John DeLorean is a gripping look at a man who gambled everything in his pursuit of the American Dream.
A documentary interspersed with acted scenes, this portrait of John DeLorean covers the brilliant but tragically flawed automaker's rise to stardom and shocking down fall.

Good movie...Just rented this on a whim... as not knowing much about delorean, I thought everything was good including the re-enactments. I would have liked more in depth exploring of his actual fraud. Baldwin was good and deloreans son was good. Thanks!.Score: 4/5
HorribleI just kept thinking of SNL Trump skits. No matter what Baldwin does he’ll always be type cast as a Trump comedian. Save your money.Score: 1/5
The first movie to tell John DeLorean’s storyTo my knowledge, this is the first movie, biopic, interview mashup of a movie to be written about John and his legacy. I had a chance to preview part of this film at the DCS 2018 event. Many first person interviews and footage are brought to light and tell the aftermath of John and most importantly those closest to him that were effected by his actions. Seeing the DeLorean family and getting their input really sheds light on how much they had to deal with while John was at his lowest. There are some other things I would have probably liked to have included, such as the tale that there was a document requiring John’s signature waiting for him to save his company the day he flew to the hotel to meet with the FBI (among other things), but there were things brought to my attention like the outing of Bill Collins being almost ignored. I only wish to meet these people in person at one of the DeLorean Car Show events and get more input from them directly. As a young owner, it’s a privilege to have these first-party sources available to us and vital to ask them the appropriate questions before they leave this Earth. Before other people criticize the re-enactments or those who may be bias to the film, I want to underline how important this film is. Is it perfect? Perhaps not. But what’s important is the information told is from first hand encounters and it is accurate, which trumps any acting done for demonstration purposes. For car historians, some may argue that John DeLorean was a Preston Tucker and a Hollywood big shot rolled into one. But unlike Tucker, John lived a lifestyle Hollywood directors dream of as well as build a car company from the ground up. Not only to have his dream turn into a nightmare, but to be reincarnated by the same Hollywood fame that turned his stainless creation into a time machine in the movies.. immortalizing it forever by the film and it’s stainless body. For those who own the car and those who know the DeLorean as just a time machine, I HIGHLY encourage you to give this movie a look. Amazing performance from Alec Baldwin and big thanks to Tamir Ardon who was kind enough to give DeLorean owners a sneak peek at last years DCS show. I’m speechless of how well this film came out. Thank you again for giving the attention to detail that was needed for this and I look forward to purchasing this film again in a physical copy (if one is printed). Mason, 22 -VIN 4693.Score: 5/5
Alec Baldwin needs to relaxThe whole re-enactment footage mixed with the behind the scenes footage of the actors preparing for their roles was completely self indulgent. Baldwin’s make up was terrible..Score: 1/5
