Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2026 film The Wrecking Crew.
Story
Estranged siblings, crime syndicates, and lots of violence. It was ridiculously formulaic with little new added.
Score: 0
Characters
I think Momoa and Bautista could make any character likeable. They are naturally charismatic. I wish the movie leaned more into their humour and dynamic.
The rest of the cast was great and they all did a wonderful job making a family dynamic.
The British villain with a French name was ridiculously boring though.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The exposition was delivered in small bits between action scenes and fun quips, perfect for this type of movie. When the mains actually opened up, it was very well done.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
I found the fights focused a lot on shock instead of cool choreography but they didn’t use shaky cam.
The music was great.
Score: 0.5
Fun
The movie was fun but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart or kids. Both the 9yo and the 6yo were a little freaked out by the cheese grater incident. (We spent a lot of time talking through the stunts afterwards, which they loved.)
The adults liked it well enough but not sure we’d want to rewatch it.
Score: 1
Overall
A predictable action movie that relies solely on the charisma of its cast. Even though that charisma is massive, its still just an okay action movie.
Final Score: 3 Stars out of 5
