Written and directed with precise skill and determination by Jeremy Rush, you wouldn't dare guess this was his first movie.

| Nov 10, 2020

It's an astonishing debut from a potent new filmmaker.

| Mar 24, 2020

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.

| Nov 2, 2018

It only took nineteen days to shoot, and it's evident. Even if Grillo had performed most of the driving himself, his final product is underwhelming at best.

| Aug 27, 2018

The most surprising element of Wheelman, however, is the strength of its plotting.

| Aug 14, 2018

Wheelman is a ride well worth taking.

| Aug 14, 2018

It's breathless. No scene feels unnecessary and no line of dialogue extemporaneous. It feels like a throwback without feeling like a relic. It's a blast.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 14, 2018

Even if Wheelman never goes beyond being a typical genre film, Frank Grillo helps elevate it and is the only reason to give it a watch.

| Nov 20, 2017

Tense action tale has violence, constant cursing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2017

Worth taking for a spin in your Netflix queue.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 30, 2017

Wheelman is paced like a juiced up F1 car, racing through its roughly hour-and-fifteen-minute run time with barely any pit stops.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2017

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 21, 2017

A little less than 90 minutes of annoyance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 20, 2017

The selling point of Wheelman, the idea of a car chase movie that takes place almost entirely within a car, makes Jeremy Rush's film novel but it also makes it rattle a bit.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 19, 2017

Wheelman probably works better as a technical exercise than the white-knuckle thriller it aspires to be, but those eager to watch another The Driver (or, surprisingly, Locke) will find much to admire in Jeremy Rush's debut as a writer-director.

| Sep 29, 2017

Jeremy Rush's fast-paced neo-noir thriller is a perfect-fit star vehicle for Frank Grillo.

| Sep 29, 2017

It's a grade-A B-movie that gets maximum mileage from a carefully calibrated mix of hardboiled neo-noir melodrama and high-velocity minimalism.

| Sep 29, 2017

This is a white-knuckle ride, with a twisting script to match.

| Sep 26, 2017

Much "who's doublecrossing who?" ensues, and if the dialogue flags occasionally, there's always background action to contend with.

| Sep 26, 2017

A unique perspective wasted on a film that fails to deliver any actual excitement.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 25, 2017
