Review of Wrecked (2010) by Douglas J — 14 Jul 2011
Very, very interesting concept. Man wakes up in car, pin down, that has been totaled out in the middle of the woods. There are two dead bodies in the back seat, and he doesn't remember anything. Well, it may sound interesting, but it's boring as hell.
The movie is basically just Adrien Brody, as the man in the car, trying to escape. Kind of like "127 Hours" in that it's about one guys struggle, and the whole movie is pretty much just him.
Only "Hours" was interesting, engaging, and had you rooting for the guy to get free. This had me checking the time to see how much more was left, and struggling to stay away. I wanted to stop half way through, but figured I had to find out what happens to this guy.
I should have stopped the movie, because honestly the things I think of what they could have done with this concept, seem a lot better than what they did. There are a couple of good moments that are suspenseful, but overall they don't save this movie at all.
Skip this and check out "127 Hours" or "Buried" instead.
