646f9e108c After three years in prison, the driver knownWheelman has to work for mobsters to pay for a debt. When he is assigned to drive a getaway car for a bank heist, he is not able to contact his liaison and a stranger call him giving orders to deliver the stolen money to him. Soon he learns that he has been betrayed by his contact and spends the night trying to save his thirteen year-old Katie and his ex-wife Jessica from a gang that wants the money robbed from the bank. But who can be trusted? A getaway driver for a bank robbery realizes he has been double crossed and races to find out who betrayed him. This is a good movie to watch from start to end in one sitting. Wheelman seems to be a lot of things at once. It&#39;s nothing I have not seen before but a great mixture of everything I love about car movies.<br/><br/>With most of the movie taking place in a car, Frank Grillo plays the Wheelman, a driver just trying to pay his dues for the people who looked out for him while he was in jail, but in the process of doing his &quot;work&quot; someone pulls a double cross on the job.<br/><br/>It&#39;s very weird how Wheel man reminds me of a lot of movies. From the 80s style found in the movie Drive, to the 1978 movie The Driver (In which Ryan O&#39;Neal plays a Wheelman), to a Tom Hardy movie called Locke (Which completely takes place in a car), but despite what looks like on the surfaceWheelman coping the tone and style of a lot of films, It&#39;s saving grace is that it does a excellent job putting it all together. I don&#39;t know how hard or time consuming doing production in a car is, but I can see the filmmakers did a solid job with it, and good work Frank Grillo for keeping us interested in his character while in the car.<br/><br/>Sound is very important in this movie. It&#39;s interesting. instead of the usually burn rubber sounds we are use to, most of the car sounds come form inside the car. Crisp details from the backing up beep to the windshield wiper, puts us in the environment of the car. Netflix films and shows love to add background environment sounds, and this time it really makes the movie. Especially, at times when the Wheelman is on the cell phone communicating with actors who are not on screen.<br/><br/>So, not bad. I&#39;m seeing a lot of different elements to a lot of different movies all warped up in one package and I like it a lot.<br/><br/>http://cinemagardens.com/?p=1749 I love this sub-genre of crime pictures, and while this isn’t on a par with the true classics of the type, it’s in the conversation. A little of Tom Hardy’s cellphone in the car myopia “Locke,” a little of Gosling’s “Drive,” and a lot of Grillo goes a long way.
