IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Loosely adapted from the video game series of the same name, which starred a digitized Vin Diesel in the title role, Wheelman is a fine vehicle (no pun intended) for Frank Grillo to prove he’s one of the more underrated action heroes of the 21st century.
