Wrecked

    Wrecked
    2010

    Synopsis

    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.

      Village Voice

      Because it's so carefully parceled out and so evocatively framed (in widescreen), Wrecked is an absorbing ordeal, perhaps less for its survival narrative than its metaphoric heft.

      IndieWire

      Brody's engagement with the material prevents Wrecked from falling apart.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      It's Adrien Brody's turn to find himself the lone and immobilized star of an emerging new genre: Call it the anti-action flick.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Never less than gripping.

      Variety

      Greenspan's solid but unexceptional debut, ably carried by Brody's one-hander performance.

      New York Post

      Even after he manages to get out of the car and slowly starts recovering his memory, Wrecked keeps you guessing.

      New York Daily News

      It's a tribute to Adrien Brody that Wrecked works as a modestly compelling thriller, since there's almost nothing to see but Brody himself.

      The New York Times

      Information leaks into the film via the radio and a few flashbacks, but Wrecked is mostly free of dialogue - and, unfortunately, suspense.
