Sinopsis(1)
Frank Grillo stars as the wheelman, a getaway driver thrust into a high stakes race-to-survive after a bank robbery goes terribly wrong. With a car full of money and his family on the line, the clock is ticking to figure out who double-crossed him and the only person he can trust... his thirteen-year-old daughter. All reasons to think fast and drive faster. (Fantastic Fest)

Un sólido viaje de emociones con el robusto sonido de las furiosas máquinas BMW y Porsche, agudos disparos y un grupo de matones a los que no puedes ver mucho, pero el matón principal (el bueno) hace un viaje nocturno convenientemente estresante. Más simple y directo que el psicológico Locke o el artístico Drive, pero aún así una película de acción atractiva, considerando que está ambientada casi por completo en un coche. La distinción visual y la mejor inmersión en la situación del protagonista se apoyan en el rodaje de cámaras exclusivamente en el interior del coche o durante la conducción desde puntos de su capó.

A suspenseful genre piece that almost never leaves the vicinity of the car, with the great Grillo in the main role. In places, this reminds of Spielberg’s Duel with its uncompromising atmosphere. Moreover, it’s excellently written and the story seems believable; that doesn’t often happen in the movies of this day and age. An unexpected wowza.

Locke meets a successful variation on Getaway (2013) or more earthy (Baby) Driver, in which the form does not crush the content. And even the form is not that bad. It more that well gets by only with one night, empty streets, interiors of two cars, completely unused hands-free set and a stubborn Grill. The concept is so minimalist that there´s a risk of becoming bored of it. Fortunately, Rush is aware of this risk and so he chose more than reasonable footage and pace, i.e. so no worries, you won´t be annoyed.

A nice surprise and Frank Grillo fans beware, he's not off camera for a second. Wheelman is a very minimalist film set 90% in a car, but Tom Hardy has already proved that it can work in Locke. Grillo is a proper badass and I ate up his role hook, line and sinker. I liked how much tension and twists could be mined from mere phone calls, but of course there are chases and a few dead bodies dropped as well. Satisfaction for me, I couldn't have expected more from Jeremy Rush's debut. A small, suspenseful, very gritty, and decent film. 75%.

Netflix has been really going full throttle lately, churning out one film after another. You might think that with such a high quantity, the quality might not be exceptional, but the opposite is true. Jeremy Rush managed to make a film with one quality actor, a top-notch machine (of course, a powerful BMW), and a story that builds up impressively. While it might not be listed in any chronicles as the greatest, it keeps you engaged because it has genuine drive, and you simply want to know how it ends. Frank Grillo shone in his role; it’s tough playing the lead, especially in a film where the audience's eyes are almost solely on you, as there’s almost no one else in the cast. The story isn’t particularly original, but the film relies on one thing: the camera. I haven’t seen such an interesting camera work in a long time, which gives the film dynamism and an extra punch with its unique style. True, the film started to lose momentum towards the end because the script is rather average, but the ending, featuring a nostalgic Porsche, brought it back to a solid rating for me. When something original and high-quality comes along, I can appreciate it. I give the film 73%.
