Director Richard Nicholls

With no prior knowledge of car mechanics, two stand-up comics from London, Alexis Dubus and Sy Thomas, embark on an epic journey of friendship and self-discovery. Desperate to dispel the ridicule of their peers, they attempt to travel four thousand miles across seven countries and the Sahara desert in a car bought for 100 pounds.

The Guardian by Radheyan Simonpillai

The action is clumsy. The writing leans on tropes. The dramatic scenes overestimate the artistic range of a charming rapper-turned-actor like Bridges. And director Millicent Shelton makes some curious stylistic decisions along the way, whether it’s amethyst lighting or montages that have the feel of a R&B music video.
