Wheels (2014)

My little brother found this movie on Amazon prime and told me I would enjoy it. I am not into these sorts of low budget art movies, but this movie really got to me. I got sucked in and then was rooting for these guys. I just couldn't help but care for them both. I don't know what it is. I don't cry often once every couple year but this movie let it all out for me. And I didn't even see it coming.

If you are thinking about watching this movie, it's free on Amazon Prime. There is a ton of junk out there this is worth looking at it. So, I really like this movie.

Fmovies: '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.

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!

Wheels fmovies. When I discovered this film, I was really surprised by the 9.3 rating on IMDb. Which is the same rating of "The Shawshank Redemption" and a higher rating than "The Godfather". I watched the film on YouTube, more than a little curious as to what my thoughts on the film would be. I watched it, and I was so surprised with how incredible it was.

The film centers around two paraplegic suicidal junkies trying to find purpose in life. And from the opening montage of the two men thinking back to when they could walk, while at the same time trying to kill themselves - was simply so well made. Even though the film wasn't visually beautiful, or had the best acting, the film's quality lies purely in the writing. As through mainly visuals we understand the emotions of the characters, and the struggles they go through. The two main protagonists are really sympathetic people that you will find yourself routing for.

The film is not some gigantic visual spectacle, or a film that contains the best actors in the world. But the film is still worth watching. And it's one of the best films of the decade.

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)

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".
