It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

From my favorite movies..

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie was interesting in it's premise and it holds your attention. Adrien Brody's acting is great as usual. He wakes up trapped in a car wreck down a ravine in the forest and doesn't remember who he is. We see his attempts to free himself, figure out who he is, and try to survive. There are certain things that take place like the repeated appearance of a girl and at other times, a dog. He sees a mountain lion take the other two victims of the car crash who are dead, and this is real, but the girl is not and the dog may or may not be real. You think all this will be made clear at the end, but alas, it is not. It's a shame the movie did not make sense at the end. A lot of parts (like the girl and the dog) were left unanswered. It does not tie together or evoke any emotion at the end. What a disappointment!

I was in a very brutal car wreck 9 months ago that broke my arm and shattered my hip (acetabular fracture). This movie seems to imply that Adrian Brody's character had similar injuries to mine and also threw in a really busted up knee! Seeing him trapped in the car and how he played the injury to his lower body made my breath catch in my chest on a few occasions. I would say I ran through similar emotions to him while trapped in my car, and with that regard I think not only was it well acted but seemed very true to what would happen in real life. All told this was a very claustrophobic and capably done suspense film. Anyone who has suffered a severe physical trauma in any type of accident probably had the same visceral reaction that I did. The plot twists were decent, but Brody selling the scenes while trapped in the car were frighteningly good.

*Minor Spoilers Wrecked is a fantastic film. Don't get me wrong. However, there are many things that hold it back from being a truly magical and moving masterpiece. The movie, unfortunately suffers from a rather lethargic pacing, that, at times, reinforces the story and the struggle of Adrien Brody's character. Most often, though, the slow pace can lull the viewer into thinking that he'll never escape. For example, when he returned to his starting position, the car wreck, and it was revealed that he just went in a huge circle I wanted to lash out at the television. Perhaps this is just a instance of how the story can affect the viewer. Don't let the pace (or the bad survival skills of Brody) deter you. It's a wonderfully acted film with a captivating plot. Not a film to miss!

Imagine for a minute that you wake up bludgeoned, battered, bloody and bruised pinned in a steel death trap at the base of a mountain with no recollection of how or why you are there, with the only sign of humanity being an unknown corpse in the back seat. This "in medias res" beginning is how Director Michael Greenspan and Writer Christopher Dodd start off their debut feature film titled Wrecked.Wrecked is a story of a man (played by Adrian Brody) that has just awoken in the after math of a major car accident in what appears to be a ravine with only a corpse (and his deteriorating mind) to accompanying him. After a days worth of struggle Brody finally frees himself from the constraints of the wreckage only to crawl through hellacious terrain while trying to ward off haunting hallucinations that have manifested from guilt of an incident he can't even remember.Brody's performance is nothing short of spectacular especially considering the sheer screen time and lack of dialogue he has in the film, however this didn't stop him from portraying an ineffable range of emotion throughout. Brody isn't the only star on deck however, Cinematographer James Liston emphasizes this by employing juxtaposed high and low angle shot's to help shroud Brody's already enigmatic mind. The story however seem to have a couple "hiccups" that take away from the overall verisimilitude of the film which can be a deal breaker for some. This should not deter anyone from the film, it is well worth the time.
