Review of Wrecker (2015) by John T — 26 Mar 2016
A slipshod, boring, fast-forward inducing rip-off of Steven Spielbergâ??s 1971 made for TV film â??Duel,â?? which was based on the short story written by the masterful Richard Matheson.
Writing credits for this cheap rehash go to B-horror movie alums, Evan Tylor and director Michael Bafaro, who apparently decided that nuance and suspense werenâ??t as important as hot chicks in a fast car. Multiple frames are dedicated to beauty shots of them, the scenery, road, and car itself (especially the speedometer as the Ford pushes 100-120 mph on a regular basis). In fact, if all of those shots were pared down to allow some focus on the â??plot,â?? the movie, which runs for an interminable 83 minutes, could fit neatly into a half-hour episode of a bad Tales from the Crypt reboot.
