The Wheel

Interesting storyline, bad acting. The screenwriting needed a little help too. It wasn't indept, action ok, CGI decent and the movie moved along at a steady pace. I was able to continue watching the movie because of the interesting storyline. I wasn't disappointed.

If they make a sequel needs to be a lot better. I could go threw all the not good in this film but is easier to say the end was good, and you have to watch a fair piece of it to get the end.

I don't see why others are saying David Arquette didn't belong in this film, common David Arquette has done almost anything to stay relevant. I won't say he sucked because the film was not exactly a show case for any of the actors.

I gave it a six just for the ending, I would not watch it again.

The trouble is with being such a sci-fi fan, is that I can watch any cross until the end to see if it has any redeaming features. This offering did not. Bad acting, massive plot holes and illogical story arcs makes this one of the worst films I have ever seen. Save 85 minutes of your life by painting a wall and watching the paint dry. It will be much more satisfying than this cross.

The movie itself doesn't meet many film-making standards nor hasn't in-depth story, generally based on the important subject of technology/science misuse which is rapidly getting more present in everyday life. Some of implied global catastrophic scenarios are making a climate change old, weary and not immediate; unlike bio-technology, polymer pollution, techno-totalitarism, etc. The story basically does a shallow dive into some of latter disaster scenarios. Combining misuse of bio and nano technology with corporate dystopian surveillance. That's what actually drove me through the movie, beside (some of) esthetics. With the great significance of those catastrophic scenarios, it really could do a better job, leaving us (after medium action) with very unfinished ending, "unchecked" science, unanswered questions and very thin characters and story. Not to mention other film-making goals that are not met. They really should have done a better job with obviously enough budget (judged by casting, effects, etc.) because those catastrophic subjects are of global great importance to us all.

It appears that David Arquette is now a B-movie actor. I got the feeling he didn't even want to be on set for this film. It is the worst acting I've seen him ever do.

The story, set in the not to distant future, is about the use/miss-use of nanotechnology to create super humans. There little more to the story which seemed purely a vehicle for the fight scenes.

The only person who seemed to be putting in any effort was the lead actor Jackson Gallagher. I think he has real potential and could be a future martial arts star given the right opportunities. The fight scenes where the only saving grace.

If you're bored, got nothing better to do and like some well done martial arts action then watch. If you're after a decent story and reasonable acting give this a wide birth.
