Frank Grillo's 'Wheelman' is now streaming on Netflix (UK & US)
Frank Grillo stars as a part-time Porsche racer who puts his skills to work driving getaway cars for a living...
Netflix’s latest American action-thriller follows skilled getaway driver with the moniker 'Wheelman' (Frank Grillo) who owes the Boston Mob one more favor before he can go straight. But when a seemingly simple bank robbery goes haywire, the Wheelman puts his skills to the test in a race against time to save his family and figure out who double-crossed him.
"The 'Wheelman' is a middle-aged guy who just wants to connect with his teenage daughter." According to Grillo, "he doesn't carry a gun and is not looking to hurt anybody. He just drives the car" That car is a four-door BMW M3 of which the first 60 minutes of the film takes place; a compact import that packs a walloping 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
Sounds like a legit thrill ride to me.
Wheelman was written and directed by Jeremy Rush and produced by Frank Grillo and Joe Carnahan (The Grey, The A-Team).
