‘Wheelman’ Review: Frank Grillo’s Heist Film Takes a Wrong Turn
As a visual exercise, Wheelman is interesting: The camera never leaves the getaway car(s) being driven by Frank Grillo’s titular professional accomplice, either filming the action from the backseat or from the side of the car’s exterior. That offers a unique, rarely-seen perspective, but it’s ultimately wasted on a film that fails to deliver any actual excitement — exceptionally disappointing when it’s a film produced by Joe Carnahan, a director who knows a thing or two about crafting engaging action thrillers.

Hollywood has seen an abundance of getaway driver movies in recent years, from Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive to Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver. Now, Netflix is getting in the getaway driver game, with none other than Frank Grillo at the wheel of Wheelman, the streaming service’s tale of crime, family, and a man and his car.

Way back in 2014, Frank Grillo signed on to star in an American remake of the face-melting Indonesian action hit The Raid. The following year, the project attracted Taylor Kitsch, who — along with director Patrick Hughes and Screen Gems — subsequently dropped out, leaving the future of the remake uncertain at best. But today brings good news for fans of Grillo who’ve been hoping to see the career tough guy pummel his way through a high-rise packed with criminals — The Raid is back on, this time with an even better director.

Things were a bit…explosive…the last time we saw Frank Grillo’s Crossbones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but as even the most casual movie and TV genre fan can tell you, a character is never really dead until you’ve seen the body (and even then…) — all of which is to say that there was still a possibility that we’d see Grillo pop up in the MCU again. According to Grillo, he’s officially done with Crossbones, and he might also be bowing out from his other major franchise, too.

‘The Purge: Election Year’ Review: Dear Woke White People
In 2013, The Purge introduced an interesting horror concept: In the not-too-distant future, the government allows citizens to commit violent crimes for one night each year. That first film featured a nice white suburban family besieged by yuppie college kids, only fleetingly paying any mind to more fascinating ideas about class warfare. The Purge: Anarchy further established the mythology of the franchise by weaving a “one percent vs. the 99 percent” element into a tale of revenge. In 2016, we have The Purge: Election Year, which turns the sociopolitical commentary up to 11 in the most ridiculous, relevant installment of the series yet. Far from nuanced allegory, the sequel splits the difference between satire and low-brow camp in a film that could just as easily be The Idiot’s Guide to Being Woke in 2016.

The planned U.S. remake of hit Indonesian action flick The Raid had some good things going for it: for audiences, there was the involvement of career tough guy Frank Grillo and Taylor Kitsch, the latter of whom has apparently walked away from the project along with director Patrick Hughes. And to top this bad news off, Screen Gems has decided they will no longer distribute the film, leaving the future of The Raid uncertain.

Where The Purge was a bit more of an intimate, home invasion-style thriller, The Purge: Anarchy expanded the sandbox with Frank Grillo’s Sergeant, a man out for revenge who gets unwittingly caught up in saving the lives of other people instead. Last week we learned that Grillo will be back for The Purge 3, and while a formal plot has yet to be revealed, the actor teases more political elements and a very dangerous mission.

Following the huge success of The Purge and The Purge: Anarchy, a third installment in the franchise was a foregone conclusion. While Anarchy ditched the family from the first film and chose to focus on a new lead with Frank Grillo, the third film sees Grillo returning to reprise his role for another night of violent shenanigans.
