About Stretch (2014) — A limo driver's wild night behind the wheel of crime and chaos
Struggling to escape his past and settle a sizable debt, a down-on-his-luck limousine driver in Joe Carnahan's wild ride *Stretch (2014)* takes a job that spirals into chaos when his passenger turns out to be a high-strung criminal with a ledger that could expose some of the city's most dangerous figures. What starts as a simple fare quickly escalates into a ticking-time-bomb chase through neon-lit streets, where every detour risks exposing secrets best left buried. With razor-sharp tension and sardonic humor, this action-comedy-thriller blends the frenetic energy of a chase movie with the dark comedy of a man in way over his head, all set against a gritty backdrop of urban underworlds and questionable alliances.
Patrick Wilson stars as the beleaguered driver, navigating a world where trust is a liability and every passenger might be the last. Joined by a scene-stealing Chris Pine as the unpredictable client, Jessica Alba as a femme fatale with her own agenda, and Ray Liotta as a ruthless crime boss, the ensemble delivers sharp performances that balance menace with moments of absurdity. *Stretch (2014)* is a film that embraces the messiness of desperation, where the line between hero and victim blurs with every mile driven.
