Sean’s movie thoughts

 Alain Moussi and Frank Grillo star in this movie about assassins hired to kill another assassin. There are, of course, surprises along the way. The contract becomes, or is revealed as, a contest. This was fun. I think it was worth buying. I like Moussi, so I felt good about buying it. Maybe the last Kickboxer was more fun than this. This is a direct to DVD movie. If you expect this film to match the spectacle of a James Bond or Mission Impossible film, that would be wrong. If the sequel tease bothers you, well I might not agree but I get it. I dislike the opening of the film a bit. It throws you into the action and then there's a flashback to one year earlier. I might rewatch this.

Wheelman stars Frank Grillo as a getaway driver whose job goes wrong. (If the job did not go wrong, it would be a short film.) He is also having trouble with his teen daughter, which is more important than you’d expect at first.   Grillo is pretty good as the lead in this. He spends a lot of time talking to characters over the phone. That seems like it might be hard to give a good performance. This has action but it is not action packed. I thought the acting was pretty good from the supporting cast. I liked the story and thought the movie was well paced.  This  review is pretty good, if you’d like a second opinion.  I am not saying this is great but it was good. I think it is worth re-watching.
