Whenever I see "IFC Films," I have to steel myself during the viewing because they're usually boring and look bad.
WRECKED is a pleasant surprise. It's a testament to Adrian Brody's acting that you continue watching because for the first half hour of the movie, he's trapped inside a car and he's the only character on screen.
Director Michael Greenspan does a good job keeping you interested in the plot. I like the look of the movie which you have to credit to cinematographer James Liston. I would never have greenlit this script because I would have thought it would be visually boring. This film should get Liston more work.
In the end though, I have to pass on the film. The plot simply isn't strong enough. The danger doesn't escalate high enough. Good calling card film though for Greenspan. Looking forward to seeing what he makes next.
