R T @Fabulousa Mar 16 Opening scene so important right? To set tone and feel of movie. And this one does exactly that. From POV of car set up explained. It's sparse and captures atmosphere perfectly. See more Reinhard W @RT18182064 Jul 9 Well... he proofed it AGAIN! Was my first thought, after watching THIS one. To DESCRIBE Frank's method of acting... could be easy... on first impression. But... there is MUCH MORE. Specially in times, where (sadly) good work CAN disappear like fog. Masses of Pixels... of what once was real "CELLULOID ART" ....quick assembled Flix "for the Masses" RULE, and... GOOD individual Actorwork can be easily overseen. I know, I KNOW… the last lines sound pathetic, but: As a 70 years old german, who grew up with Mister Hitchcock... i have my troubles to stay ON TOPIC. Therefore: I follow Mister Grillo and his work scince (kinda) 20 years. And whatever he DID, gave me one clear thought: "The Man does ONLY Movies... he wants to SEE HIMSELF… as a Moviegoer!" Beside of this Impression... in one LINE? Hollywood misses SUCH Actors DEELPY… and IF it stands in front of em… they're too blind TO SEE! Frank Grillo CAN DELIVER. Deliver… what ever Character he choosed TO BE for a while! Once... they called this "Method Acting", But what Mister Grillo ALLWAYS tries/DOES is: Becoming THAT Character... to give the Audience... AUTHENTICITY. A thing that's RARE today. FRANK GRILLO… IS AUTHENTICITY Thanks for your patience! EDIT! Sorry, but beside Mister Grillo… i simply forgot to mention what a GREAT THRILLER "Wheelman" overall IS! The one you dare not go to the toilett! 😉 I guess the Term "Thriller", when it was created... had Works like "WHEELMAN" in mind. 5 Stars WELL deserved!!! See more Andy B @RT39601663 03/06/2025 I can't express how great this thriller is without just showing you the whole movie. It is the rarest Netflix gem. If you ever doubted the minimalist approach to filmmaking, Wheelman is your challenge. I'm still amazed what they did with just a few cameras, an old BMW 330 and some prop guns. Incredible performances, cinematography, music, story... seriously just watch it. See more Gero C @RT10335018 03/11/2024 This movie reminded me of Taxi Driver and Collateral, but combined. A perfect combination of two great movies along with an incredible performance by Frank Grillo. Highly recommended See more william p @RT01281279 05/23/2023 If you have ever wanted to see a movie involving only 6 humans, 2 European cars and 2 firearms this movie is for you. If not skip this flick it's everything you would expect within the first 15min See more T T @RT95435478 02/11/2023 It is entertaining. But, the plot is full of holes and gets ridiculous and annoying at times. Also, the wheelman, as a character, is an irresponsible douche. First, you have many high speed chases and crashes and very violent and serious crimes being committed all over the city with the police being nowhere in sight. Ironically, with all of this chaos, you could always hear police sirens blaring "somewhere" in the distance, all the time, but the cops are never to be seen on the scene. I thought this was very idiotic. Second, the douchy driver/wheelman is a horrible father and ex-husband because he puts his ex-wife and teen child in constant mortal danger. Third, the ending was purely imbecilic. After traumatizing his ex-wife and his teen child, and endangering their lives, the wheelman is smiling and joking around with his kid, as if they had just come back from Disneyland. So, overall, the plot has one original concept, with a couple of interesting twists, but the rest of it is hogwash. That said, miraculously, this movie passed the time and was not boring.
