Well, I saw it. Judging from what I saw, it's a 15-minute story stuffed into two hours. There is so much extraneous and uninteresting detail that it was almost unwatchable to me.
An interview with a production assistant who bought Tom Cruise's sunglasses. A half hour long interview with two sons of the guy who owned the 928 at the beginning of production but then sold it to someone else in which they repeat themselves many times. Interviews with both sides of a divorced couple who owned it later. There is not a lot of "quest" for the car, just a lot of interviews and then he hires a private detective to find the car. Next thing you know, it's in his garage without him even going to get it or speaking to the previous owner. There is some cool stuff, but not much.

Some movie makers are good story tellers and some just aren't. I have enjoyed some good story's in movies that weren't made well, but I've never enjoyed a well made movie that didn't tell a compelling story. If our resident reviewer (Matt) is correct, it really is a shame.
