The film was also produced by Paramount+’s go-t0-guy, Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), and directed by L.A. Confidential screenwriter Brian Helgeland.

Buying a car is almost always a huge pain. But these days, there are more and more ways to buy a car online, and for many people, that’s a good thing.
