Really Surprised!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This movie was either, totally absurd, or we are suppose to think that this character is a total idiot. Possibly the knock on the head caused some mental lapse in IQ. Obviously, a wreck of such destruction would cause some anxiety, if not brain damage and hallucinations. I collided with a stalled eighteen wheeler, while I was traveling 70 mile an hour, ending up underneath the truck, with my cars engine in the front seat with me, and it didn't seems as bad as what this fellow endured. Maybe they'll do a followup film, to find he escaped from a mental ward, and the whole thing was just a schizophrenic episode where he hallucinated everything, even the truck driver rescue. Would that be any more far fetched than what we were given to believe. It's done all the time in cinema. A whole season of the television series 'Dallas' was dreamt, to justify bringing a cast member back to life. Only, you can't bring someone back to life, who was never dead. We are expected to believe just about anything, and everything. Hollywood sometimes seems to think we are mindless beings who will watch, and believe anything they can put on the screen. This movie is one of those, a real waste a lot of time, and a bigger waste of enjoyment. It seems like they did everything they could to stretch out 90 minute, and that was too much time for this movie. I had to fast forward through much of it, and didn't miss anything. This movie might be a halfway descent 30 minute video, at best. Hollywood (fig) does produce a lot of high quality, believable film, but this definitely isn't one of them, and doesn't even come close. Do I remember some birds chirping in the movie, "cheap, cheap, cheap." Too cheap for a high price actor. Actually, the acting has merit, but the adaption sucked.

The title does suggest that this will not be pretty (some would argue the same thing about Brody's role selection after his Oscar win ... for the most part(s) that is of course). But a movie does not have to be pretty. Especially if it tries to win you over philosophically. And metaphorically that is. Being (or rather going) on a trip with Brody might be a dream come true for some. For others this will play more like a nightmare.I don't like to compare this to an Oscar winning movie (another reviewer has done this), but I get his point. If you want to see something different, than you might be able to be more open and indulge in the movies pace (try not to fall asleep I guess). I for once thought, there wasn't enough to warrant the running time and/or the tag it tries to achieve.

Imagine for a minute that you wake up bludgeoned, battered, bloody and bruised pinned in a steel death trap at the base of a mountain with no recollection of how or why you are there, with the only sign of humanity being an unknown corpse in the back seat. This "in medias res" beginning is how Director Michael Greenspan and Writer Christopher Dodd start off their debut feature film titled Wrecked.Wrecked is a story of a man (played by Adrian Brody) that has just awoken in the after math of a major car accident in what appears to be a ravine with only a corpse (and his deteriorating mind) to accompanying him. After a days worth of struggle Brody finally frees himself from the constraints of the wreckage only to crawl through hellacious terrain while trying to ward off haunting hallucinations that have manifested from guilt of an incident he can't even remember.Brody's performance is nothing short of spectacular especially considering the sheer screen time and lack of dialogue he has in the film, however this didn't stop him from portraying an ineffable range of emotion throughout. Brody isn't the only star on deck however, Cinematographer James Liston emphasizes this by employing juxtaposed high and low angle shot's to help shroud Brody's already enigmatic mind. The story however seem to have a couple "hiccups" that take away from the overall verisimilitude of the film which can be a deal breaker for some. This should not deter anyone from the film, it is well worth the time.

This is a first, driven to an IMDb review by the most horrible boring dull movie I have ever wasted 90minutes of my life on. Pity IMDb does not have a rating of 0 (zero), this movie gets a 1 by default. Half way through I thought I would push-on in the hope that something other than swaying pine trees and long agonizing shots of one of the 4 actors might happen, but alas more of the same. I did run the rest of the movie at 2X speed and it made no difference to the agony but did mean I could get to the stove 15minutes quicker to clean it - this task was preferable to watching this piece of garbage. Save your money time and life and do anything else rather than watch this movie
