Wrecked: Movie Review

3 of 5 stars

1st, the entire film is done in ONE place, more than half in a car, the rest outside the car. Right up to the last minute one keeps waiting for something to happen to make this movie make some sense. It never does. With 20 minutes left I knew it was a loser of a film, but by then I figured may as well see what they used to justify an ending. A cell phone that traveled a river for miles, now works? So many loose ends are left hanging, we never know what happened to the dog or to the black guy, or to the main character or the woman.

Credibility is completely shot which is amazing in such a limited scenario. This was a poor attempt to remake Memento, a dismal failure. What was good about it? Brody's acting was brilliant, he cried exactly the way I would have (& have done) in same or similar situations, that frustrated want to give up cry. One feels & experiences all of this as if you are the main character. Otherwise, give it a pass.

So bad it deserves not even ONE star! I could not watch it past the 30 minute mark & went on to watch something much better instead of wasting the rest of my night on this. The actors were like 1st time, no experience drama students, as was the production values, dialogue, script, characters, every aspect of this movie was of the lowest quality possible--not even as good as a high school film project could have done. I can stand quirky movies IF done well, do not waste your time! The plot might have worked with better actors & script, the concept sounded interesting or I'd have never looked at this despite the poor reviews. For a 78 minute movie, nothing at all happened during the 1st 30 minutes, they still had not gotten to the act of taking the pills. Credibility is at issue since there are drugs already existing that cause amnesia which are readily available on streets or by Rx. Don't even watch on TV for free.
