Just Drive..."Wheelman"

Wheelman (2017)

TV-MA

Starring Frank Grillo, Caitlin Carmichael, Wendy Moniz,

Written and Directed by Jeremy Rush

The Story:

The Wheelman (Grillo) is out of prison, but has to make some runs to pay off his debts that he owes the mob. However, when a job goes sideways due to a betrayal, things get personal when they go after The Wheelman's family!

Netflix keeps churning out original content, often with little or no fanfare other than the movie shows up on the home page for a day or two, then it disappears into the sea of streaming content.

You've got to give it to Netflix though, they are giving subscribers new content seemingly on a weekly basis.

Wheelman is a no frills, all thrills movie shot almost entirely from within the car, so it's pretty much Frank Grillo's movie to carry.

Thankfully, he does a fine job, and much like he did in The Purge sequels, especially Anarchy, he shows that he's more than qualified to be a leading man carrying an action film.

Jeremy Rush also shows promise with his first feature film as both a writer and director.

Not a bad first gig for him.

So if you like thrillers, it's worth taking the ride.

See what I did there? :)
