My assessment of the film is that I don?t think he was framed but the police were over zealous to the point of entrapment, this is evident as he was found not guilty as the film shows but reading the history on the internet he was sentenced to 10 years but the film does not make this clear.
May be I was not paying attention and missed the relevant part but I don?t recall the film stating there was another trial.
The later part of the film deals with his financial dealings and his involvement with Lotus and the setting up of a Shell company which effectively had no assets but money was paid into it for work never done (I think it was called GPR ?) it then becomes complicated with money being moved around eventually ending up in certain peoples accounts, much of this money is never recovered.
At first I had some sympathy for DeLorean but later he appears to be a very shady character and needless to say neither DeLorean nor Chapman are portrayed well by the film.
The film is quite boring at times and it is more of a documentary then an entertaining feature movie, it also contains some strong language and not really a film for light viewing.
