Wrecked Trailers

A man awakens in a car wreck at the bottom of a steep cliff. He can't remember who he is or how he got there, but a report over the radio fills in some of the blanks, as it describes a violent bank robbery and names a perpetrator who happens to be sitting dead in the back seat.

Reviews
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Floated2 Wrecked is a quite short film which not much at location and much happening. It is very precise in plot as we see how the lead (Adrien Brody) has to survive from suffering a fatal car crash. Throughout some of the scenes we see how it happened (mostly towards the ending). The film is comparable to 127 Hours and Buried but I didn't feel it isn't as good as those two.The first half of the film was engaging as the audience was interesting in his character and wanted to see where the film was going. It hit it's peak when a woman was brought in and was there to help him. What I disliked most about it is, the woman was not used much, he did not asked many questions as to why she came, and what she was going to do to help. Their was no development and this let the film crumble. Also do not understand why he went out his way and do harm to her. Perhaps he was crazy? After she left, I felt the film really suffered and dragged on. The acting was a little overreacted on Brody's part and I didn't care for his character much late on it the film. Also had a predictable ending. We knew he was going to make it out but they could have done much more with it. Also the trailer on the front page reveals a lot. Would be better not watching it before watching the film.
solibusal I read a few of the reviews on here about this movie, and they gave the impression that this movie left too many unanswered questions and the ending was not satisfying. I don't know what questions these reviews were referring to, but for me the ending was pretty much self explanatory.The acting was brilliant, the direction, the location and scenes were all done really well. The story was adequately thought provoking too.To sum it up, the movie felt like an experience, not just a visual entertainment. 7 out of 10 for me!Having said that it's not a movie for everyone, if you like movies where you can feel the character's environment then you'll like this, but if you prefer lots of dialogues, lots of people and lots of action then you probably wanna watch something else.
rocknroll_demon Let's face it - this film is dull. I honestly think I have wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this movie. It's not that it is a BAD movie, it's more like it is one in which nobody tried very hard. But first, a defence: Adrien Brody does enough to allow us to sympathise with his character. We want to find out what has happened and who he is. The photography is pretty good too, but even a monkey can get some decent shots of a nature background. The problems come with the story, and the six foot wide gaping plot holes that tag along with it. Firstly, it is boring. More boring than I can say. As mentioned, if it weren't for Adrien Brody's acting (which has been a damn sight better in the past), I would have turned it off. Nothing happens, and when it does happen there is no excitement, no thrill, just stupidity followed by blind luck. The worst thing about this movie is the questions that are left at the end: we find out what happened and who he is, but: 1. If he drove off the road, why does he not look for the road rather than crawling around the forest for days? 2. What happened to the guy in the cave? And if it is what I think it is, why could he not fend it off with a big rifle? 3. We see four men in the car when he causes the crash, but one man is left on the road. How did he fall out of the car, how did that kill him and how did no one see him as they were driving past? 4. In a forest full of trees and wood, he could not have made himself a crutch to help him walk rather than crawl around everywhere?A film that leaves you with that many questions is simply not worth your time. If you want to watch Brody flex his acting muscles, watch The Pianist again. If you want to see a movie with a good story... well, you can do better than this.
Greyfoot First of all I did not know a thing about the movie before got it, and as some other member who wrote a review I decided to take a well deserved nap.Needless to say despite the flick being slow in places kept me awake for the rest of the afternoon and whats more it inspired me to register to the site. Truth to be told I hate sites like IMDb or Gamessspot as I genuinely feel that they are being controlled and supported by major companies what flick or game to rate highest and which ones to flush down the toilet.Back to the movie as I said it kept me well awake, and kept me guessing to the end. I could perfectly feel the tension, desperate hopelessness and the ultimate struggling of the protagonist. As for IMDb's complete ignorance for the line under character error, saying no way Brody could have moved the way he did with broken lower leg, just type in whatever search engine you are using: crawling with broken lower leg. Yep, a 64 old man crawled out of a desert with his leg broken in numerous places after a fall of 10 feet. I rest my case.All in all, if you are into these sort of movies, where tension, character display is more important than flashy visuals then watch it, you might like it as I did.
