Wrecker

This movie seems like it was written, directed, and played by a bunch of stand-in "actors" and people that have been extras in multiple projects. These people somehow think they are part of Hollywood, and are dead set on turning out hot garbage like this movie, Wrecker. The writing is absolutely ridiculous. The acting is over the top and cringy. There are no shining stars, or moments. The lead guy has a tremendous physique, but zero acting skills. The storyline and plot are absurdly stupid. The cinematography has a 1980's vibe, but not in a good way. Overall, I couldn't even finish this tragedy. This is where horrible movies go to die.

This is festival worthy of the most interesting aspects of the storyline. The cinematography was sharp and fun. It was not pretentious but I was always smiling. Thanks to the hold cast and crew and the team that put this together well done and good luck going forward. I am looking forward to sharing this with other fans of the niche genre. The style. The goal was met and achieved and I am happy for the experience. They are the best and most importantly for what you are looking for it is going to be exactly what you need. Good job and do please keep writing and keep directing fantastic work like this.

Ready for some over the top well choreographed comic book violence? Charismatic lead and easy on the eyes Bryan Brooks plays tough, intense, and brooding John Knox. His physique makes actor/wrestler John Cena look petite in comparison. Noirish comic dystopian thriller complete with dangerous women, zombies, fetish leather, men in chains, and an over the top patch over one eye lead villain Ryan Lambert all grown up from the 1987 movie 'The Monster Squad'. The women characters range from smart professional to dangerous scantily clad pole huggers ready to kick your *ss. My neighbor said officer Knights kissable lips left her feeling moist.

I stumbled onto 'Wrecker' on Tubi. Glad I did. Fast frenetic comic thrill ride destined to be a cult classic. Four out of five hammers.

Bryan Brooks did amazing on this movie. This movie is not to be taken seriously because it is a '80s spoof of horror/crime dramas. There are shades of Bruce Campbell's Army of Darkness movie series. This movie is classic and campy good versus evil. Our vigilante hero faces a truly evil villain and hordes of zombie minions who are attempting to take over the city. These villains kidnapped our hero's wife. Our hero's sidekick, a detective does a great job of being adorable and frustrated at the same time. If you like 1980 crime and horror movies this is your movie! This movie was filmed locally in Mendocino and Sonoma counties where Bryan has his home and studio. Bryan did a remarkable job writing, producing, and starring in this movie.

As I write this, there are only two reviews here - rating with a 1 and a 10. I hope this will provide the satisfying balance that Goldilocks was seeking.

Some hulking dude named Bryan Brooks decided to write and direct a showcase for his physique, albeit not for his thespian, uh, gifts. When shirtless, he makes guys like The Rock look wimpy. The story has shades of Batman (especially the grief-driven vigilante shtick) and elements from tons of other cheapo action flicks. Big secret evil conspiracy. Drugs that turn addicts into monsters. Punishing the scumbags the law can't stop. Think Dexter with meth in his method. Oh. And instead of sporting a Batmanesque utility belt, the big fella shleps a huge toolbox containing the tools of his construction gig that serve as his weapons of choice.

The acting is truly awful, but the script is worse. Brooks penned an unbelievably long backstory monolog for his character that starts turning this sale-bin action video into a spoof of itself. From then through the climactic mayhem, viewing this through your humor filter will probably maximize whatever enjoyment may be salvaged.

The bounty of babes in the mix remain clad - even the strippers.

But the fights and gory bits leave nothing on the table. If that's what you want, Brooks delivers. For those who stick it out, there's a sequel teaser during the credits.
