“Stretch” is an action-comedy film released in 2014, directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Patrick Wilson in the lead role. The movie follows the story of a down-on-his-luck limo driver named Stretch (Patrick Wilson) who takes on a job driving an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine) around Los Angeles for a night of wild partying and dangerous encounters.
As the night progresses, Stretch finds himself caught up in a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous situations, including encounters with a vengeful gangster (Ed Helms), a sadistic cop (Ray Liotta), and a seductive call girl (Brooklyn Decker). Along the way, he also reconnects with his former flame (Jessica Alba) and tries to win back her affection.
The film’s fast-paced action, sharp humor, and eclectic cast of characters make it an entertaining and engaging ride from start to finish. Patrick Wilson delivers a standout performance as the lovable but hapless Stretch, while Chris Pine steals the show with his outrageous turn as the eccentric billionaire.
However, the film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its energy and creativity, while others criticized its disjointed plot and lack of substance. Nevertheless, “Stretch” is a fun and entertaining film that offers a wild and unpredictable ride through the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles.
