I guess the early '80s condemned period movies to feature actors with "awful" hairstyles, glowmesh and powder pastel suits which are unpalatable to the viewer today but necessary for documentary-quality production. I had not heard of the movie or plot before watching and was just about to give it the flick when the name Delorean was dropped. So I gave it a few more minutes of automotive enthusiast sympathy. The stranger than fiction plot unfolds awkwardly with the Hoffman character portrayal both beautifully irksome but verging on hitting the "off" button for relief. To their credit it weaves together in a bizarre culmination of the implausible, unredeeming deceitful and ugly behaviours; pride and greed justified by a base of lies. Full credit to the cast for making me hate them.

Crisp delivery and mostly insightful. Sometimes I watch re-runs when I can't find the remote. One of the few ABC shows that thankfully doesn't feature Josh Whiticomb (yet). I voted "No".
