I stumbled upon this 2010 movie titled "Wrecked" by random luck in 2021. I hadn't even heard about it, but seeing that the cover had Adrien Brody on it was actually sufficient to make me want to watch the movie.
So I sat down and watched the movie from writer
Christopher Dodd and director Michael Greenspan, and I must say that was I genuinely entertained by what they delivered with this movie.
The storyline is one that you have to experience to fully take it in, as there are some really well-written plot changes along the way. And I totally love the way that writer Christopher Dodd constructed the story here, and then changed the course of the story twice or three times along the way, fully and wholeheartedly throwing me off course and changing the way that I felt about the main character every time. This was just glorious work from the writer.
"Wrecked" is a movie that might not find an appeal with just everyone in the audience I think, as it is a rather slow paced movie, and also a movie with almost just a single actor on the screen for the majority of the time. And there is little dialogue here as well, so yeah, this might not be everyone's cup of tea.
I have to say that Adrien Brody puts on a very memorable performance here with this movie and single-handedly carries the movie phenomenally well with the material he has from the script.
This is definitely a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch, especially if you like a movie that doesn't just follow a predictable narrative. I have to say that this movie was definitely unique and enjoyable.
My rating of "Wrecked" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
