My first review on imdb. Why for this particular movie? Because after watching it with my nephew, who is disabled, like myself, we were both very disappointed and a tad offended.

When the main protagonist meets Drake, the movie is fun and wild. Drugs, guns, girls. We get some flashbacks that are a part of the final "twist", which is some psychological BS. Which is fine, except whoever wrote this probably never heard of muscular atrophy. Even this aside, the ending is kinda selfish on the part of the main character.

8 for the first part and Drake, whose story and motives were better suited as the base of the movie.

3 for the ending and surprise revelation.

A touching and often funny deep dive into the lives of a group of people with barely the resources to survive being homeless in Los Angeles. Two wheel-chair friends decide to pair up and share the burdens of their mental, emotional, and physical pain, limitations, and suffering. Finding comfort in anything they can reach for from their chairs, they do all they can to stave off an impending knowledge that they simply do not fit in society, and the sooner they come to terms with that, the sooner society can be finally rid of them. Once their greatest fears are met full on, we see the beauty and frailty in life they had so long ago lost faith in.

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.

I mean come on...heroin, wheelchairs, hookers, cocaine and suicide. YES PLEASE! I am sick of the mainstream formulaic bull. This film had so many original moments, twists and turns. I don't want to give to much away but oh boy! Its really nice film! Did I mention the story is so ahead of it's time. The first time I saw this movie, I was like "what in the hell am I watching", but in a good way. Then before you know it, you are hooked on it like Mick is hooked on heroin. This is one of the best movies I have ever watched. Top 5 easy.

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!

I really enjoyed this movie. It probably didn't get a lot of buzz because no one in it is famous. But I thought it was great. Better than the other stuff out there on Netflix for sure.

'Wheels' is both both moving and confronting. The story powerfully builds momentum and keeps pace throughout the film, and its ending is the powerful culmination of an excellently told narrative.

Much of the power of the story is derived from elements such as prostitution, drug use, and paraplegic protagonists functioning as the focus of the story, rather than as props enriching it. Instead of wheelchairs being only used as symbols amidst other metaphors, the wheelchairs and, more importantly, the lifestyles and problems they cause or affect are what matters. The result is a unabashed exposé of life in a vulnerable, angry, seemingly helpless state deeply reminiscent of many human struggles, but here seen at a revealing extreme. The openness of the story to the brokenness it portrays makes the eventual revelations much more moving and meaningful, in that they are not only plot twists, but commentaries on how deeply our perspectives on our lives can affect our choices and desires.

No scene seems out of place nor unused in delivering the steady succession of narrative impacts, and beautiful cinematography emphasizes the brutal reality of the story of the story throughout. In short, I highly recommend this film as being excellently filmed, fantastically written, and highly enjoyable.

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.

It's been a long time since a movie has made me cry and I cried like a little baby watching this movie. This movie is about family and dealing with loss.The director of this film tackled it in an interesting way. Leaving the audience to feel these feelings instead of jamming them down your throat. I don't want to give anything away. This film really stays with you for a few days and is totally worth watching.

If you ever wondered why you should keep struggling in life and never stop trying harder, then you should watch this movie to know what may happen if you ever stopped struggling. You should make your decision out of 2 choices,either to live or to die. Living with drugs,prostitutes and committing suicide is absolutely painful and you are going to feel that pain in the movie.

We should wonder about how does it feel to be alive, not how does it feel to die. The darkness in aimless life, the bad company and overthinking about the past can easily keep you hold in place. And all of that is shown clearly in the well made scenes of that talented actors, in addition to the superb directing and photography that cared a lot about the details of the picture.

The movie has beautiful twists that will keep you alert for the story, but it may get boring at some points so you may need to play it at double speed.

Finally, Remember that "When you are at the bottom,you can only go up".

For shame these guys have tried to scam film rating sites and make it the self professed best film ever made, because there is some talent and half decent film-making in there. I sort of enjoyed it; it was inventive and moved along nicely. The message was a touch trite and there were way too many cliches and things borrowed from better films to make it a film I would honestly recommend. The best I can say for it is that it looked great and was pretty professionally put together, including some of the acting. However, this is a 5 or 6 out of ten film all day long. I hope they get the cash for another project and this time let it be judged fairly, like every other film out there. Saying that, it kinda worked, cos I might not have watched this for any other reason than the false rating.

Wheels is an amazing movie! It goes and mixes in comedy that helps soften the blow in these turn of events, but still hits hard. The film will make you think about how everything is different in someone else's shoes.

I have been wanting to make a low budget movie myself for years and the stories about making film are great. They really went through hell to make this movie.

Drake is going to be a classic character, great acting, great story. Really makes you think and messes you up a little to.

MUST SEE !!!!!!!!

Saw this movie at a press screening. Where else can you find a film with the perfect mix of love, friendship, drugs, and violence? Wheels is the type of movie that will stay on your mind long after watching it.

Drake is amazing in the film, expect to cry in this one.I love this movie. It's not overly complicated in plot, but the casting is pitch perfect, and the raw emotions are palpable.

10/10 ! .If you're looking for a great move,look elsewhere. If you're looking for an enjoyable one,you have come to the right place .

Great to see Wheels once again.

I saw this movie at a free screening last week not knowing what to expect, and I have to say it certainly surprised me. The story was well written and the direction was very well executed. The acting was great overall. The actors portraying the 2 main characters were simply superb and both worked together wonderfully. You could really feel their friendship connect and grow stronger throughout the film, not just because of their similar disabilities but more on the level of the pain and suffering both physically and mentally which they both have fallen victims to throughout their lives. "Wheels" certainly played with my emotions. Whether it be from its originally recorded soundtrack which was extremely well executed throughout the film, it had me in a state of indignation, it had me laughing and crying and that overall feeling of anticipation which few films are able to accomplish.

Overall I thoroughly recommend checking this film out. Especially considering well written films which have true meaning are few and far between nowadays.

And this is a Diamond of a film. I watched and read a ton of interviews about this film. These filmmakers crawled through broken glass to get this film made and out came this unknown gem. I personally think if it had been done by a studio it would have gotten screwed up by the money and control. A gutsy film couldn't have been made this way.

This film touches on so many aspects that are too taboo to talk about. It blends them all into a sort of chaos shake and then serves them up with a salted rim. The way the film sways from emotion to laughter to emotion to pain, back and forth it really was put together in a way that has never been done before. And my favorite part was when they are crawling through the house with the opera music at the end. It just...I can't even...

The directors really made a masterpiece here.

Came by this movie by high ratings,turned out to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Don't get fooled by the high rating, there are only about 17k votes (to this day)

What a ride! This movie got so many aspects of depression on the right levels; Drugs, addiction, music, character's sense of the world, absence of outsiders and them having no influence on the character's will to live, character's guilt, lack of trust, him living in the past and so on. It's rare to find this perfect blend in movies, they always miss something or twist the story which doesn't fit viewer's experience but this movie got it all. The ending was so pure and original nothing less than the Andy's escape from Shawshank. Vibes of Boyhood (2014) mixed with determination portrayed in Gattaca (1997) and inflicts you with awe just as in Oldboy (2006).

I was pretty astounded that such a unknown film had such high rating. After checking the 10/10 reviewers and the things that they have reviewed, its clear those reviewers are just paid to fake reviews. Some of them had only reviewed this one film, & some of them have rated the same films similarly, probably they were paid for those. Steer clear of this one.

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!

Did you just watch this movie and go..."what did I just watch" It's like a slow merlo that just swooshes around in your mouth. I rented this when I had a couple friends over and we were a little stoned. Somehow someone found it on Itunes and we watched it 2 times in a row and then I watched it the next day, because I had some dreams that I was in a wheelchair. I think there are two levels to this film. One when you are high and one when you are sober. It's tough for me to explain but kind of like fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Two different trips.

This movie is fricking Amazing!! My friend sent me a thing about it on facebook and I took a chance on it. Which I normally don't do, but this was really good.



This is one great Indie movie. I ended up crying like a little baby in the end which I never do. But it just ripped my heart out. Just when I thought it was over it really tore my heart heart out again. The acting was great. Who ever played Drake is seriously one of the best acting performances I have ever seen. He could play crazy and then get you emotionaly. Him and Mickey just riffed off eachother in such a good way. When Drake shot Mickey I was hooked. I can't believe I just found this. Everyone should watch this and feel something.
