STRETCH no stars

The first 30 minutes or so of this black comedy sucks, big time, before rather weirdly picking up with the appearance of an uncredited Chris Pine as the mad, bad and very dangerous to know billionaire limo driver Patrick Wilson is tasked with driving around LA. Of course, there is more to it than that; this is a crime caper and in poor taste and while there are no belly-laughs there is a good deal of sick humour as well as a surprisingly good performance from an unlikely cast Wilson. There's also a neat cameo from Ray Liotta who plays himself as the smug, arrogant actor I'm sure he's not.
