More than that, they were brilliantly acted one of the characters was played by Olivia Colman. Rush doesn’t seem to grasp that one reason “Locke “worked was that even though it stuck with one man in one car talking to a variety of people, those people were articulately voiced. It is like mix of skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, and. They also all sound as if they’ve been doing “ Goodfellas” karaoke.įor what seems like hours, these various characters exchange “Who are you”s, “where are you”s, “where’s my money”s, “f**k you”s, “f**k you motherf**er”s, and so on. The Original Australian Wheelman Bushpig, named one of Time Magazine's 'Best Inventions of the Year'.

(Actually, within two cars, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.) After the first snafu, in which Grillo’s wheelman leaves behind the robbers (this may be a silly question but given the fact that this movie is entirely night-set, I had to wonder why the bank they knocked over was open so late), he is obliged to play cat and mouse with a variety of unknown-number phone callers, all of whom are abusive and make terrible demands of him. Deriving inspiration (I presume) from the 2013 Tom-Hardy-starring drama “ Locke,” this is a getaway car chase movie that aspires to remain entirely within the car. No, the biggest problem is the aforementioned formal constraint that writer-director Rush sets up. I don’t trust crime movies in which the lead character has some sort of fixation with being Father of the Year, but that turns out to be hardly the biggest problem here. No, he’s here to be a good dad, as his cell-phone conversations with his rebellious teenage daughter Katie tell us.
Driving the wet nighttime streets, he looks terribly confident and competent, and when he picks up the two bank robbers, he very aggressively high-hats them, refusing to give them a name and snootily telling them that he’s not here for small talk. Not that the wheelman initially makes life easy for himself. So, of course, the job he’s working on is going to go very sour.
