Wrecker

Wrecker is in fact what we can say a kind of rip-off of the famous Steven Spielberg flick Duel (1971). Two girls in a Ford Mustang are suddenly being chased by a tow truck without any reason, the driver is never shown and nothing is explained. So far that can't be a problem but what do makes it hard to watch is the acting and the story.

The first 15 minutes I could dig and it all started rather good with an old Ford being broken down at , you guessed it, a road with Devil in it and no cell phone reception. But after 15 minutes the road goes down together with the flick. The acting of Anna Hutchison is below zero. Normally I can stand screaming girls but she doesn't understand it at all. Of course it's also her character that makes her a stupid blond. When a car is left alone on a bridge she can passes it easily but she stops just in front of that broken car, and there are so many things that doesn't make sense. The cop stopping her makes no sense at all. The gas attendant is acting terrible when she waves her gun. How her girlfriend is being put in the trunk of the Mustang is a don't know, at the diner the way she reacts is a girl with big issues.

Towards the end there's use of bad CGI can't explain when not to spoil what is happening but it's really bad CGI.

What I did enjoy was the Ford Mustang and the truck. Like the tow truck is doing it should better tow this flick to the dumpster.

I always feel bad giving terrible reviews because ultimately this was other people's vision, budget and time but this movie is really, really, really bad. The very fact that the tow truck could outrun the Mustang causes the movie to immediately lose so much credibility that the movie is already in a hole that it cannot get itself out of.

And as others have said, it's essentially a rip off of Duel.

if you have never seen Duel (1971) my suggestion is to watch that than to waste your money going to see this modern day movie or buy it on blue-ray.

Starts off as a typical road movie where two young women are driving across the U.S in a Red Mustang. After watching them talk about boyfriends for the first part of the movie and seeing endless scenes cutting to them accelerating up and slowing back down travelling roads after roads they come across a trucker towing a car that they decide to overtake.

The rest basically ends up becoming a game of cat and mouse after. They are chased to where one of the girls ends up being taken and her friend is left to chase the truck and ends up being chased down even more roads.

The woman has so many opportunities in the movie to report what has happened to people instead babbles like a wreck to just race off down road after road. Even after getting her hands on a dead traffic cops gun who gets run over she catches up with the truck and points the gun at the drivers door and does nothing, never once thinks to threaten the driver to get out in order to find out what he has done with her friend..

This movie has so many flaws it is almost laughable if it was not so boring or even worth a total review.

The plot and whole story line including acting is so weak you feel like shouting at the screen for gods sake how pathetic is that.

The ending of this movie was so much worse than the beginning

Avoid this movie like the plague...

How does a heavy wrecker tow truck (while also towing another car) consistently keep pace with a 2013 5.0 Mustang GT? The mustang can go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. The heavy wrecker can go 0-60 in 30 seconds. The mustang's top speed is 155 mph while the heavy wreckers top speed is 75 mph. This whole movie is impossible and boring.

First, sorry for my English, is bad-bad :) sorry,please! I have not ever seen a movie worse than this, how to do such a film... I can not believe how much trash there is in this world to do a film like such a caricature, a really coarse...

A top class Mustang, talk about a V8 5.0 - is constantly overtaking by a truck rust...Really? C'mon! Blonde leading the Mustang can not overcome this rusty truck and when it does not last long and exceeds the phases before overcoming the truck ... the truck are hilarious to beat.However "Blonde" you are as a person driving is unreal how they could create these exceedances, actually inconceivable from reality.You go with 31mile(50km) behind a old rusty tug-truck and actually don't't bother to overtake even straight ... with a Mustang V8 -5.0! And if you exceeded once in the end, you are catch up by the rusty old truck to over 124mile(200km/h) !!! Dude director, you are a crazy head ?? Girls do not have GPS signal...really? GPS? That Mustang has GPS functionality and if all satellites from space fall...

The speed of cars in the film, at one point, caught by the Mustang is 120m (193km) or more, but old rust truck chases and even at that speed the truck is not leave behind! Jesus! Road where happens the action is kind of twist road, circulated rarely and practically in the film did not see a car on the opposite way but when the blonde girl Mustang would exceed the truck suddenly it appears a car in front and can not exceed...amazing, I feel like screaming to moon!!!!!!!! Blonde girl can not exceed even a speed of 24mile(40-50km) neither, you could just pinch a little throttle, the Mustang had sprung in a sec...but no way! Finally, the scene when the truck stays on the road is hanging half... the first phase is seen under the truck a continued road, a few meters if it fall hit the road - and even when falls, when the truck is smitten the image appears where there is a chasm,abyss and the road is not there! Terrible... :) I invite you wholeheartedly for you to watch this movie just to see what was reached today to make a film.Take your friends and watch this movie in a group...will to be phenomenal! At the start of first 15min i wanted to close it, after 30min i could break my TV but out of curiosity to see how far stupidity can lead a film director and producer, i decided to see him until the end...

A terrible movie, even awkward interpretation of actresses is understandable...but what i do not understand is how the director of this film thinks it can fool the world...astonishing...inconceivable.

PS:Blonde girlfriend in the movie suddenly disappears after 40min...here on IMDb says that the actress actually left shooting during production ... Why, he was the only human with brains who realized the awkwardness filming that?
