Wheels (2014) Reviews
Compelling and unexpected in it is brilliance
Wheels is a character-driven low budget movie whose protagonist is going through his own emotional turmoil in the fact that he has no friends are family in his life. Mickey reaches out to Drake, a homeless junkie, in the hopes of suicide by proxy. The two become friends and go adventures to acquire heroin, prostitutes and other narcotics, in an attempt to not face their dark pasts. Tim Gagliardo and Donavon Warren execute this dark drama with the most delicate of touches. The cinematography is both stunning and breathtaking while not taking away from the characters emotional consequences of their actions and the story. Donavon Warren's acting performance as Mickey is both gut-wrenching and empathetic. While Patrick Hums portrayal of Drake shows a demonized man who is seeking redemption. Wheels is both compelling and unexpected in it is brilliance.
One of the best movies ever! No kidding!
I have watched the movie Wheels last night and I am still wondering why this movie is not in the IMDB top 250. Ok, low budget, but still, we have movies like Clerks, and that movie has a cult status. The film is so complex and well structured, the actors are memorable, the music is well done... everything about this movie is how it supposed to be in one all time movie classic. Mickey and Drake, the main characters of the movie can easily become one of the favorite movie couples ever, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Please watch this movie, and spread the word. Wheels are.. just great!
Drugs, Prostitutes and Suicide. What a rush!
Drugs, prostitutes, suicide and a cute little bunny. I have seen tons of indie films this year and this is the one that grabbed me. Wheels is gritty, raw and and is so well done on so many levels. The score for the film is so fantastic and Mickey's fading memory was captured so very well. DO NOT MISS THIS FILM! This movie hooks you with great underwater darkness and by the time it's over, you feel like you have been hit over the head with reality. There's a true essence of pain that prevails through the end of the film and when it's all said and done, you walk out feeling the pain of a man who has been through hell to find himself on the other side.
Must have missed something here......
I've been tracking this movie for quite a while due to the sky-high rating and superb reviews - after a bit of sweat, tracked down a copy and watched it during the weekend. Well....hum?....er?......must have missed something here. Quite frankly, the movie is mediocre at best with subpar acting - save for a very fine Patrick Hume as the mercurial Drake Jones - and with a very lame script. A pair of paraplegic hobos attempting to hustle their way to survival seems fit for an interesting indie flick, a turn-of-the-century take on Midnight Cowboy. However, in various parts, the film just drags on with flashback overkills meshed with overacting; at moments, you seem to be watching a Mexican soap opera or a missed episode of "As the World Turns"...... Its not necessarily a disaster and does have its moments, but, quite frankly, 9,1?!? A bit of editing and less histrionics would have made for a finer movie. The way it is, reasonable at the very most.
Shot like a classic. Great Film!
Came across this on Prime and thought I would give it a go. What a really great film this was! Reminds me of the older 80's movies that are classics now. The pacing felt a little slow at first and I couldn't understand why, then I got it. They shot it like an older film. There are long takes and lot's of long shots. There also is no cell phones in the film, which I thought was interesting. Like an homage to older films. The story also was shot against traditional. There is no main bad guy, no main goal that I could see. Just a couple of guys trying to figure it out. And it was refreshing to see something different. Great film!
