Stretch is a 2014 American crime comedy film written and directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Patrick Wilson, Ed Helms, James Badge Dale, Brooklyn Decker, Jessica Alba, and Chris Pine.

Wilson portrays the title character, a struggling limousine chauffeur who finds his life in danger after he picks up a mysterious millionaire (Pine).

[3] Kevin “Stretch” Brzyzowski (Wilson) is a failed actor turned limo driver in Los Angeles who is addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and gambling.

He also has hallucinatory conversations with the bitter ghost of another failed actor and limo driver named Karl who committed suicide in front of two customers.

Stretch’s boss, Naseem (Toub), tells him that their chief competitor, a mysterious man known only as The Jovi (Couture), has been stealing their clients.

Stretch begs Charlie (Alba), a sympathetic coworker, to direct any high-paying customers his way, as a generous tip is his only hope for paying in time.

Stretch’s quest takes him to a nightclub where he meets Laurent (Dale), a French criminal, to whom Karos has promised some mysterious ledgers in exchange for the contents of the briefcase.

Using Liotta's prop gun and badge, Stretch cons Laurent and his men into believing that he is a police officer, and they surrender the briefcase.

However, Stretch fast-talks the security-system operator into believing that he's a cop whose life is on the line during a gunfight, and the limo is restored to working condition, allowing him to escape.

[11] Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian wrote, "While the movie does eventually ramp up to a terrific purr, it hits plenty of speed bumps in its opening.

[15] Scott Tobias of The Dissolve called it "an obnoxious cartoon version of Hollywood noir" that "confuses confidence and bravado for wit and fun".
