Leave your thoughts about Wrecker.
| The Times of IndiaReagan Gavin RasquinhaThe film's only plus points are a few jump scares, slickness and the scenic great outdoors, where it was shot. Apart from that, there's little else to recommend. |
| StarburstJoel HarleyIt's fast, slick and lovely to look at, but there's absolutely nothing there beneath the hood. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenTime and again, the filmmaker cuts the money shot meant to theoretically cap a sequence. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAside from a few good jump-scares and a couple of original plot twists, Wrecker spends most of its running time cutting between footage of the roadster and footage of the truck, apparently assuming viewers will take those images and use them to imagine something more exciting. |
| Spectrum CulturePat PaduaDon't even think of wasting your well-earned shrugs on Wrecker. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDirector Bafaro shows little aptitude for the driving sequences which are stunningly dull in their repetitiveness and lack of visual flair. Shot largely from the driver's perspective and rarely bothering to show both vehicles in the same frame, Wrecker feels like an endless ride to nowhere. |
| User ReviewRussell RI actually liked this movie somewhat (the girls were pretty, and not bad actors). While it didn't have a great plot or cast of characters, etc., it still did make for an alright movie. It does lack a little depth and complexity, however. I also found the ending undesirable since we don't know what happened to Lindsey. |
| User ReviewMeth-dudeI'll say it, it's not that bad.Sure the acting is not always good,some decisions are annoyingly stupid and the fact that there is no violence in the movie is disappointing but, overall,it's a movie that you will watch only once because it's actually not good.Oh, and the main characters are so stupid and annoying, you'll probably end up rooting for the truck driver to kill them fast. |
| User ReviewJohn TA 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. |
| User ReviewPaul ABad Acting, Unmemorable Story-line. Very unrealistic. Their car could easily of outrun the truck on many occasions but the truck always managed to come back. very far fetched and stupid. |
