5.0 out of 5 stars
Simplistic and boring? Not in the least,
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Wrecked (Combo) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Wrecked is basically a one-man show, and I must say Adrien Brody turned in a terrific performance as that one man (he does his own stunts, actually eats a worm, and even supplies the voice his character hears on the radio). Some say the movie is slow and perhaps confusing at times, but I say nay; you couldn't possibly convey the physical ordeal - nor the emotional roller coaster -this character endures in a mere half hour, nor would the ending be as effective as it most certainly is. I was prepared to say I really liked this movie as it moved toward its conclusion, and then the ending turned my like into love. It does require some patience on the part of the viewer, but Wrecked is a really, really good movie.Brody's character wakes up to the grim reality of being trapped in a car deep within a ravine. He looks like he went ten rounds with Muhammad Ali, and his badly injured leg is trapped underneath the dashboard. Looking around, he finds an empty driver's seat, a dead man in the back seat, and another body a short distance away from the car. He doesn't know who he is or how he got there - but it's obvious that he was in one hell of a crash. Whatever road the car was on isn't even in sight. If he's going to survive, he has to free himself from the wreckage and somehow find help in the most isolated and dangerous of woodland situations. As the days and nights progress, he begins having short flashbacks about his past and finds other clues to his identity, the meaning of which is further sharpened by periodic hallucinations. If the plot sounds pretty basic, it is - but it is by no means simple. You'll just have to take my word on that. I found this to be a rather gripping emotional story, thanks largely to Brody's marvelous performance (as well as some fine work from a wonderful canine actor). There are even some tender moments thrown into the mix with all of the fury and seeming futility of his character's struggles. You the viewer join the character in trying to piece together his identity, and that great unknown creates emotional friction because you aren't completely sure you should be rooting for his ultimate survival. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing slow, simplistic, or boring about this film at all. I loved it.
