The Review: Wheelman


Wheelman 8/10

Spoilers, humans. I decided to check out this movie on Netflix that just came out called Wheelman after watching an interview with the star Frank Grillo on The Fighter & The Kid. I have seen Grillo in a few films and once he said that 98% of this one was in a car I was all in because for some reason if you can make a movie good with little to no location changes really I like it. Locke and Buried are two that I can think of offhand that were this way. This is about a guy with no name that is hired to take some assholes to rob a bank and drive the away. Very simple premise that this movie managed to make very interesting with the help of good acting and well timed drama.


While waiting for the guys committing the robbery the driver gets a phone call telling him to leave them behind. He struggles but ends up ding it and following the demands of this mystery guy. He can't even trust his friend and is afraid he is going to end up back in jail. Oh, and he has to deal with his annoying daughter on the phone as well as an ex wife who wants to deal with none of his shit. I was skeptical of this movie at first because it sounds so basic but this was a cool, fun movie. Check it out.
