Frank Grillo is Awesome!!! He's like the new Charles Bronson to me, he's real tough, rugged, gritty, brutal & smart in his roles especially the instant cult classic "The Purge:Anarchy" his amazing performance as Leo Barnes was Excellent & catapulted Grillo to Action leading man status over night & now he's a great presence among all Genre's from Low-budget sci-fi B-movies (Cosmic-Sin, Jiu-Jitsu, Beyond Skyline) to Supernatural Horror (Demonic) to Horror-Thriller's (The Purge: Anarchy & The Purge: Election Night) to Mega budget Marvel films (Captain America franchise) oh yes the hard-as-nails but Cool anti-hero is rising & he so deserves this fame & fans & he's one of the best Action stars working today along with Scott Adkins.
Now i look forward to the next gritty Grillo film.
Grillo was also excellent in The Grey (2011) with Liam Neeson, he's become a really good leading man & action hero later in his career & he so deserves the attention he's getting right now!!!
As for frank Grillo in Wheelman well he's excellent again & gives a very intense & stressed performance & the movie is a gritty ride along in the crime filled night time world. The fact its all set within a car & Grillo is up front & centre & he completely keeps you engrossed in the story shows how great an actor he really is. I'm not into "fast car" flicks like the crappy Fast & Furious films or any car type films really but Wheelman is so damn good i couldn't help but enjoy it. Grillo is Awesome end of.
This has an exciting simple story like the good old gritty thrillers from the 70's & early 80's Bronson or Eastwood would make, it's directed really well & very slick looking with the excellent night time setting around the wet streets, it looks fantastic as it is exciting & frantic.
"Wheelman" is an exciting crime thriller with double crossings & bursts of violence so that's all you need to know about this thrilling Crime Thriller.
