Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Make sure you hit "Pause" if you have to walk away from the Netflix stream for a moment, because you don't want to miss a trick here. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 21, 2017 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com A little less than 90 minutes of annoyance. Rated: 2/4 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Jeremy Rush's fast-paced neo-noir thriller is a perfect-fit star vehicle for Frank Grillo. Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) Written and directed with precise skill and determination by Jeremy Rush, you wouldn't dare guess this was his first movie. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 It's an astonishing debut from a potent new filmmaker. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse The vision for the film is clear, and as Wheelman's priorities and plans crystalize, the movie shifts gears into a full-throated action/chase film that's truly cinematic, edge of your seat stuff.

Gero C 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Jacob T Very solid film action thriller with a fantastic performance from Frank Grillo. This is a movie I'll watch again for sure! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review william p 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 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Fabian B I loved this movie , have rewatched several times and it never gets old . The way the whole movie basically takes place inside the car the whole time and still manages to surprise the audience is brilliant . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review T T 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review georgan g Unique premise as the movie is almost entirely shot within a car. And the anxiety of what will be happening next makes it impossible to look away, even for a second. So much action that it nearly wore me out! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
