with a strong script , competent directing and gritty cinematography , kills on wheels is a well - balanced comedy , action - drama that will put you through a roller coaster of emotions .
kills on wheels is a brutal and brutally funny thriller that will entertain all kinds of people . it has an unexpected emotional core but this adds depth rather than undermining either its style or its point .

an obituary on tuesday about neil hope , an actor who played the troubled teenage character derek wheeler ( wheels ) on the television shows “degrassi junior high” and “degrassi high , ” described his character incorrectly . wheels knew he was adopted ; he did not learn that fact after his adoptive parents were killed by a drunken driver .
we’re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .
mr . hope had few secrets left after his five years in the role of the troubled teenage character derek ( wheels ) wheeler . the show’s producers admitted all along that the story of wheels , a boy who stumbles through misfortunes before drifting into alcoholism , drew broadly on the life of mr . hope , who never had formal acting training .
an entertaining , ingenious and above all wholly unpatronising take on an often mishandled subject .
he needn’t have worried , as the casting alone layers “kills on wheels” with a bedrock of honesty that could have allowed for a much greater degree of drama . fenyvesi and fekete both have disabilities that cannot be acted or faked with prosthetics ( till found fenyvesi via the first - time actor’s instagram ) , and while both of their performances are flawlessly convincing , they’re also enhanced by a meta - textual degree of wish fulfillment .
“it has been confirmed that neil passed away , ” a relative said in a notice posted on a “degrassi” fan web site on jan . 12 . the news emerged in canadian newspapers only this month .
fans of the show would sometimes spot mr . hope on the streets of toronto and windsor , where he alternately resided , said a former fiancée , christina boulard . “they shouted : ‘wheels ! is that you ? ’ ” ms . boulard said in a telephone interview .
after his adoptive parents are killed by a drunken driver , wheels learns that his biological mother is dead and that his biological father has shunned him . wheels drinks , he drives , and by the final episode of “degrassi high” he finds himself in jail , charged with killing one person and blinding another in a drunk - driving crash .

but she told friends never to mention mr . hope’s character , even in fun . he loved his time in television , she said , but he was not wheels .
the hungarian comedy - thriller “ kills on wheels ” follows 20 - year - old wheelchair user zoli ( fenyvesi zoltán ) and his physically disabled friend barba papa ( fekete ádám ) as they team up with wheelchair - bound hit man rupaszov ( thuróczy szabolcs ) to offer their assassin services to the mafia . soon , they enter a surreal world of gangsters and guns , all the while coming to terms with their respective disabilities and how best to cope with them . watch the trailer for the film above .
shooting a hole straight through the gut of the traditional narrative of empowerment , atilla till ’s “ kills on wheels ” effectively does for hyper - violent gangster thrillers what “murderball” did for inspirational sports documentaries . it starts with a brilliantly cockeyed premise : if the world doesn’t believe that disabled people are capable of living among us , then the police might never imagine that disabled people are capable of killing among us , either . from that idea , till spins a sloppy but uproariously clever urban fable , one that doesn’t sanctify or belittle the handicapped , but rather shines new light on that invisible population by inviting them to play the most visible of movie archetypes : assassins .

it’s unlikely that either of these amateur performers ever imagined starring in a mainstream movie ( mainstream for the hungarian box office , anyway ) , let alone one involving suspenseful action sequences that have no special regard for their condition . till’s script never treats the performers with kid gloves , nor does the camera ever condescend to them — unlike “the tribe , ” which repurposed the insularity of ukraine’s deaf community as the silent lining of a dark underworld , “kills on wheels” even allows for a few laughs , and till insists that his jokes only further empower his characters .
if anything , till is so committed to delivering an ordinary story of criminals and lowlifes that his unique characters fade into archetypes , and the impact of their separate arcs is muted and muddled as the strangely familiar plot shifts into neutral . it’s as though till is so worried about the film being defined by its “gimmick” that he overcompensates by steering it towards cliché . still , by taking things to such a giddy extreme , “kills on wheels” manages to punctuate its point with a bullet : if the able - bodied world refuses to see the handicapped as people , what right do we have to brand them as criminals ?
zoli ( zoltán fenyvesi ) and barba ( adám fekete ) are roommates at a care facility . the former relies on a wheelchair because of spinal problems , while the latter has a mild case of cerebral palsy and the peculiar habit of spraying deodorant on the outside of his clothes when he becomes excited and nervous . when they work together on a high - concept graphic novel about a paraplegic former fireman , life and art start to blur in intriguing ways as they interact with their protagonist .
rules weren’t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples — introduced on the very good tv podcast — are clear exceptions .
“kills on wheels” is directed by attila till , who was inspired to make the film after volunteering with the disabled , saying that it was crucial for him “to make a movie about disabled people where they finally aren’t played by actors but get the opportunity to act themselves and be the real heroes . ” he previously directed the feature film “panic , ” about an ensemble cast of characters who all suffer from panic attacks . he also shot a short film “beast , ” about modern - day slavery , that premiered during the 2011 cannes’ directors’ fornight and toured over 100 festivals . the film is produced by krisztina pintér , gábor rajna , gábor sipos , judit stalter , all of whom produced lászló nemes “ son of saul , ” which won the oscar for best foreign language film last year .
the world isn ' t overburdened with hungarian wheelchair comedy - thrillers but on the strength of this darkly delightful effort from attila till . . . it could do with a few more .
at the reunion , he told former castmates that he had been working as a forklift operator , a furniture salesman and a customer service representative for a pizza chain . in the reunion episode , wheels has recently been released from prison and appears as a drifter looking in at the festivities through a window .
in some ways it did , though the fictional world he entered as derek wheeler , beginning with “degrassi junior high” in 1987 , was a harrowing one . all its characters portrayed teenagers confronting crises over issues like sexual abuse , racism , unwanted pregnancy and aids , but the troubles dealt wheels made him the job of the cast .
as the hits that rados requests become increasingly difficult , rupaszov relies more and more on the ingenuity and level - headedness of zoli and barba ; barba’s driving skill as a getaway man also plays a crucial role . meanwhile , the hitman and comic - book storylines eventually neatly merge with a subplot centering on zoli’s need for a life - saving operation — one his single mother ( mónika balsai ) hopes will be paid for by the father that abandoned the family when zoli was just an infant .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
mr . hope , who was born in toronto on sept . 24 , 1972 , was an actor who essentially played one part . like most of the “degrassi” cast members , he was recruited from toronto schools . he was 10 when he was cast in a guest role on a precursor show , “the kids of degrassi street . ” the job was a godsend , he told interviewers . watching television had been his fantasy escape , he said , and acting in it would make the escape literal .
in till ' s second feature , the plot is structured around a bizarre story of two young disabled hungarians who strike up an unlikely friendship with a cantankerous killer who is paralyzed from the waist down before embarking on a series of hits for a balkans crime boss .
“it’s hard to describe the emotion this has generated , ” said sam tweedle , a canadian television critic who wrote about mr . hope’s death on his blog , confessions of a pop culture addict , and who spoke in an interview . “he was a good guy , who had all the worst possible things happen to him and made some bad decisions . ”
by the end of the show , mr . hope himself had a drinking problem , and though he had wanted to attend film school , he all but dropped out of sight , only to emerge years later to make a guest appearance in a 10th - anniversary “degrassi” reunion special . ( a new version of the show began in 2001 and appears on teennick , an offshoot of nickelodeon . )
when the series ended in 1991 , he spoke openly about the wages of alcoholism in a kind of public - service documentary , revealing that he was the child of alcoholics who had virtually abandoned him and had fed their drinking on his tv earnings . he said he wanted to convey a message to other teenagers whose parents were substance abusers : “it’s nothing to be ashamed of . because it’s not your fault . ”
the inventive cinematography by imre juhász ( who also works as a camera operator and second unit on big - budget hollywood titles ) is frequently framed to match the perspective of someone in a wheelchair . editor márton gothár does a fine job of blending the various storylines , as well as the segues from hand - drawn art and animation to live action . the score by csaba kalotás and choice soundtrack add to the dynamism .
janos rupaszov ( able - bodied hungarian star szabolcs thuróczy , recently seen in last year’s “white god” ) is a salty middle - aged badass unlike any the cinema has known before . on one hand , he’s a classic archetype : the beefy , aging gangster who’s fresh out of jail and already eager to get back into trouble . on the other hand , the authorities consider the wheelchair - bound rupaszov to be more of a nuisance than he is a legitimate harm to society . he’s a joke , a pet of the prison system whose insistence that he’ll walk again ( “i’ll get robot legs , a robot dick , whatever” ) makes him even more of a laughingstock . if only the cops knew what he was capable of getting away with — if only they knew what rados ( dusan vitanovics ) , a broadly evil yugoslavian crime boss , was paying rupaszov to do .
there is no map through the territory mr . hope navigated from that moment of heartfelt communication to the final moment of his life , when he had become so isolated that it would take four years before his own family learned that he had died . he was found dead on nov . 25 , 2007 , in a room in a hamilton , ontario , boarding house . neither the police , who concluded that no foul play had been involved , nor the coroner’s officials who removed the body recognized the name or the face of the deceased . he was 35 .
their creation is badass ex - firefighter rupaszov ( szabolcs thuróczy , whose hangdog charisma also made an impression in “the wednesday child” and “white god” ) , who sustained an injury on the job that has left him paralyzed below the waist . after a stint in prison , rupaszov finds new employment as a hitman for sinister serbian crime lord rados ( dusan vitanovic ) while trying to win back his ex - girlfriend ( lidia danis ) , a nurse who is about to marry another man . flush with cash from his new profession , he provides the lads with an , er , sentimental education as well as life lessons . he also offers them an opportunity to demonstrate their resourcefulness as his accomplices .
twenty - year - old wheelchair user zoli , his physically disabled friend , and an ex - fireman , who is also confined to a wheelchair , decide to offer their services to the mafia as a gang of hired assassins . but , as is the way with life , the reality is a little more prosaic… in his highly original , action - packed comedy , hungarian director attila till skilfully blends reality with fantasy as he offers a gentle probe into the lives of protagonists living on the edge of society and desirous of things which able - bodied people take for granted . with its in - your - face black humour , the film is a competent match for the 2006 audience smash the art of negative thinking and is set to be a sure - fire hit with viewers as well . the director was inspired to make his film from his own experiences as a volunteer for the disabled . he explains his motivation : “it was crucial to me to make a movie about disabled people where they finally aren’t played by actors but get the opportunity to act themselves and be the real heroes . ”
following gabriele mainetti ' s they call me jeeg robot ( 2015 ) in blurring the line between comic - book bravura and real life , attila till ' s second feature is not only notable for its attitude to disability , but also for its casting of differently able actors . wheelchair - user zoltan fenyvesi and cerebral palsy sufferer adam fekete play zolika and barba , care - home roommates who devote their time to producing a graphic novel . the twentysomethings get fresh inspiration after becoming the accomplices of a new resident ( szabolcs thuroczy ) who is paralysed from the waist down but hoping to win back his girlfriend with the money he makes as an assassin for a serbian crime lord ( dusan vitanovic ) . the hits are ingeniously staged , shot and edited , and challenge preconceptions about various debilitating conditions . but till tempers the edgy wit with a whiff of sentimentality in a sub - plot about zolika ' s mother fretting about raising the money for a life - saving operation her son requires on his spine . thuroczy makes a convincing paraplegic , but first - timer fenyvesi and relative newcomer fekete deserve to become the poster boys of cine - diversity .
attila till ' s dark comedy about wheelchair - bound assassins premiered in july at the karlovy vary film festival .
the committee includes hungarian government film commissioner and hollywood producer andy vajna and hungarian film fund ceo agnes havas among its members .
it was crucial to me to make a movie about disabled people where they finally aren’t played by actors , but they get the opportunity to act themselves and be the real heroes ,

hungarian director laszlo nemes in february won an oscar for best - foreign language film for holocaust drama son of saul .
f you see one film about a hungarian hitman in a wheelchair this year , make sure it’s this one . writer - director attila till’s plucky comedy - drama isn’t quite the radical
it seems to think it is , but has its heart in the right place .
non - professionals zoltán fenyvesi and ádám fekete play young men with serious mobility issues ( the actors themselves are physically disabled in the exact same ways as their characters ) residing in an assisted - living home . they start writing a comic book about their adventures with an older friend , rupaszov ( szabolcs thuróczy ) , a greasy - haired badass paraplegic and contract killer for a serbian mobster ( dusán vitanovics ) who runs with a pack of rottweilers .
as far - fetched as the concept might seem , till just about makes it work by stressing the intense physicality of the performances , especially that of veteran character actor thuróczy who displays the upper body strength of a circus acrobat . fenyvesi , meanwhile , has an especially soulful face and one can’t help but hope that film - makers will employ him further . the final twist is annoyingly predictable , but , otherwise , there are very few duff notes .

throughout the film , director - writer till cleverly plays with the fact that people frequently underestimate those they perceive as handicapped . the prime illustration of that notion comes in a tense set piece unfolding in a picturesque budapest square . pretending to feed the pigeons , rupaszov patiently awaits the perfect moment to assassinate a slick lawyer who is lunching with his bodyguards at a nearby café . after paying the bill , the target strides through the crowded square . a shot rings out , the man falls , but no one even looks askance at the rumpled , stringy - haired guy in the wheelchair .

this is a meaningful action - comedy of a wheelchair - bound assassin gang . driven by despair and fear of becoming useless , a 20 year - old boy , his friend , and an ex - fireman offer their services to the mafia . but things are not what they seem . the boundaries between reality and fiction blur and the story becomes a whirling kaleidoscope showing us gangsters and gunfights , but also the challenge of life in a wheelchair and the pain caused by a father ' s rejection .
there are plenty of differences to celebrate in this modestly amusing and heartfelt comedic thriller .
director attila till subverts expectations with a dark crime comedy more about its characters ' inner lives than blood and body counts .
writer - director attila till is content to indulge a complication - free mix of bloodshed and pathos .
it may be heavily contrived , but it ' s a suitably punchy ending for a vigorous , unruly film that seems honest in its depiction of living with disabilities .
if you see one film about a hungarian hitman in a wheelchair this year , make sure it ' s this one .
till ' s second feature is not only notable for its attitude to disability , but also for its casting of differently able actors .
two young men with physical disabilities stumble into budapest ' s underbelly of gangsters and gunfights after they become entangled with a contract killer who uses a wheelchair and seems to come straight out of a comic book in this inventive , action - packed coming - of - age fable .

atilla till ' s charmingly violent new film , already a hit at the hungarian box office , is a very different kind of empowerment story .
rupaszov is a fighter , introduced doing pull - ups in his wheelchair and soon revealed to be as tenacious as the last greasy strings of hair that cling to his scalp , but there’s no doubt that he’s also something of a tragic character — especially once we’re introduced to his newly engaged ex . he’s lonely . he needs friends . better yet , he needs accomplices . enter zoli ( zoltan fenyvesi ) and barba ( adam fekete ) , twenty - something roommates whose severe disabilities have made them codependent .
there’s a sweetly comic “see no evil , hear no evil” dynamic between these two : zoli , whose spinal progressive spinal condition has made his legs undeveloped and unusable , has the steady hands required to draw the comic books they write about themselves . barba , whose palsy is more obvious but less centralized , can still drive a ( getaway ) car . both kids need money , and — while refreshingly resigned to the subtext — both need something to live for .
the volatile partnership formed between the three outcasts is the same you’ve seen in a million other movies about a gruff older man learning to care for his proteges ( “the professional” comes to mind ) , and till sacrifices clarity and emotional depth in his attempts to avoid any moments that might feel too soft or saccharine .
when a rival gangster tries to assert his dominance by stabbing rupaszov in the leg , our rugged hero doesn’t feel a thing . when rupaszov and his cohorts brazenly execute an assassination in broad daylight , the police barely look at the “invalids” long enough for zoli to point them in the wrong direction . it’s funny stuff , every gag anchored to the idea that these handicaps might as well be superpowers .
in a way , the elements that weaken the story are the same ones that make it more empowering . till has no time for morality — zoli and barba are involved with several murders , and no one blinks an eye since the victims are all bad guys — but the able - bodied version of this film wouldn’t have bothered with that stuff , either .
eric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .

with encouragement from defense attorney william kunstler , the seven other defendants did whatever they could to disrupt the trial through such acts as reading poetry and chanting hare krishna . while the jury was deliberating their verdict , judge hoffman held the defendants in contempt of court for their behavior and sentenced them to up to 29 months in jail . kunstler received a four - year sentence , partly for calling hoffman’s court a “medieval torture chamber . ” five of the chicago seven were convicted of lesser charges .

a movie like “the seven five” has only minor use as a historical document ; its principal function is to package gonzo tales of bad behavior into commercial entertainment that plays down the real suffering behind those stories . mr . dowd’s vehement narration does have , at times , a vague joe - pesci - in - “goodfellas” feel , which is amusing only if you ignore the historical record . in 1988 , when mr . dowd was still on the force , an estimated 100 people were murdered in east new york . those dead should haunt “the seven five , ” which instead breezes through its crimes while tossing out grim images of unidentified black and brown bodies . i wonder if these will show up in the fictional version that as variety reported , sony won the rights to after a winning bid of “around the seven - figure range . ”

both wrenching and enlightening , “the seven five” avoids sensationalism to provide a nuanced , thoughtful account of material that’s at once sordid and instructive . i came out of it hoping ( futilely , no doubt ) that hollywood producers aren’t already lunging to turn it into a big , splashy crime epic . we’ve already seen that movie , too many times . the real thing is far more sobering and useful .

the trial of the “ chicago seven” begins before judge julius hoffman . the defendants , including david dellinger of the national mobilization committee to end the war in vietnam ( mobe ) ; rennie davis and tom hayden of mobe and students for a democratic society ( sds ) ; and jerry rubin and abbie hoffman of the youth international party ( yippies ) , were accused of conspiring to incite a riot at the 1968 democratic national convention .
one aspect of “the seven five” with plenty of current resonance is its portrait of police culture . in one sense , dowd , though suspected by some of his colleagues , was able to take his criminal career to such lengths because of cops’ unwillingness to rat on each other . ( he eventually got popped by suffolk county police for selling drugs there , not by the nypd’s internal affairs unit . ) on the other hand , the film clearly suggests the relative rarity of bad cops like dowd in showing how difficult it was for him to get others to join him in his pursuit of easy money on the wrong side of the law .

it’s that priceless dialogue , the bitter ironies , the magnificently skeevy cast of characters and even the overall structure that make “the seven five” “goodfellas” in blue . director tiller russell , a disciple of martin scorsese right down to the freeze - frames and the rolling stones music , lands knockout interviews with the principals , from mike ( a double for henry hill ) to kenny’s wife ( who sounds much like karen hill as she sheepishly admits , “money . . . always feels good” ) to adam diaz , the bryan adams - loving kingpin who sells kilos of coke in the back of a working grocery store . diaz says of a guy who crossed him , “he’s not around anymore . i’m not saying i killed him . he’s not around anymore . ” smile .
