Review of Wrecked (2009) by Jim C — 29 Mar 2010

I really had high hopes for 'Wrecked'. It has a very eye-appealing cast and the story line was good, but the direction was...absent. It seemed more like a community college film class assignment gone awry. If you view 'Wrecked' as softcore porn, which is it, the 3some which occurs at just under an hour into the film took longer coming than Jesus, The Sequel. If you view it as 'an edgy drama', it's more edgy than drama, unless you consider the latter to be of the "Oh My God, Becky!" variety. Plus, there's edgy and then there's 'Oops, I went too far and fell off', if you catch my drift.

The main character, Ryan, played by the VERY cute Forth Richards, was done well and with a level performance throughout. Sadly, the cast isn't referenced against their role names in the scant credits and even IMDB doesn't have that information, probably for the same reason. The other decent performance was by the boy with the white lip piercing I assume to be Jake Casey. You can watch this movie with the sound down. Or off. It's not quite as painful, that way.
