wrecked (2011) | adrien brody gives the bear grylls treatment

haaaaydrien !  

C'mon, don't you want to see Adrien Brody in this solo feature-length, soaking up the focus (of the director, the film, the audience), granted ample room to flex some serious acting chops?  As if the rare situation of starring solo in a film, even if it's 'just' in an indie, wasn't the mouthwatering acting morsel it seems.  Hell is other people, right?  Well, Adrien has bit.

he writhes ...

In this case, Hell, it turns out, is the pain of a shattered body and the confusion of a mind trying to piece together his identity, while figuring out how he got to awake the sole-survivor of an accident, pinned in the passenger side of a car down an isolated and lush Pacific Northwest ravine, all while struggling to keep alive in hopes of rescue.  

... he moans ...

If you're a fan of Adrien, or a fan of acting, or just a weirdo like me, you might turn out for this one.  'Interesting' wouldn't justly describe 'Wrecked.'  It's textured, it's allowed to breathe, and it's allowed to take its course.   How the film unwinds  for both protagonist and audience alike totally works, providing lasting satisfaction much after the film's viewing.  

... he pleads with god.

And what was up with that mountain lion? In and out of the pic like that, one might be tempted to read into its symbolism but mercifully, we're not going there. 

For more 'Wrecked,' google for god's sakes, but otherwise, check out this exclusive Q&A with Adrien over at Movieweb.
