Excellent, a Must See

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

There was absolutely no third person camera on the car, seeing steering wheel for that much time kind of shaked my head and eyes

WHEELMAN feels very much like somebody saw LOCKE and decided to make their own version of that film, albeit in a thriller context with more car chases and the like. This is a small-scale story starring the consistently interesting Frank Grillo as a driver mixed up with various shady characters. Much of the story plays out from the interior of his car, but said story turns out to be quite unremarkable, the usual mix of drugs, money, kidnapping, and small-time hoodlums. I didn't think much of the script, which is all mindless profanity, while the action never really gets going and there are too many cliches at the end of the day. I much preferred DRIVE which tells a similar tale in a much more powerful way.

Exactly what an action car movie should be, action at every turn with the dialogue screaming over engine and tires noise.

I started watching this movie with very low expectations... but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. Very exciting low budget movie and the acting was fantastic.
