...Wrecked makes its audience suffer along with its amnesiac protagonist. It's often boring and more than occasionally repetitive, dragging like the character's lame leg through the woods...

Los Angeles Times

Asked to convey a wide spectrum of emotional tones like confusion, shock, sadness, anger and oh, look out for the mountain lion, Brody does all he can to hold the screen.

Rated: 3/5

Adrien Brody once again proves he's got enough onscreen appeal to carry a decent thriller.

Will cause you to tap your foot impatiently, waiting for something to happen. You will wait an awfully long time.

Wrecked, like bowling, is one of those enterprises that seems more interesting to participate in than it is to watch.

If the idea of watching Adrien Brody wiggle and whine his way through a forest sounds thrilling, meet your new favorite film.

omg! What was the point of this movie? It sure wasn't ENTERTAINMENT. It was a major downer! What in the hell did they talk about in their production meetings about this movie? This is one of those movies you would never ever think of seeing again.

The location suggested it was a Canadian production so I expected depth and a different approach but i did not expect so slow a pace. Yet it was a well done movie using only about a half dozen extras briefly to backup the Oscar winner from "The Piano Player. " It was no surprise to see such a low score on Rotten Tomatoes; it didn't have the audience that propels today's US film figures: ages 15-30 c vulgarity, noise, bustle, guns though it DID HAVE ONE CAR WRECK! It certainly took its toll on its leading man (remember how he leaped OVER the chairs at the Academy Awards when his name was called for Best Actor—- and he still had enough breath and chutzpah to embrace the lady handing him his trophy prize. And I liked the movie. It could have done better with a more aware audience, better promotion and more slick advertising. Eric Anderson, California.

Boring, repetitive, slow as the crawl the main character does through the woods. Just God awful, don’t even consider watching it.

A painful long-winding helpless in the wood, it's a lonely survival journey reminds me of Tom's Cast Away with a twist. Budget filmmaking done right with a simple plot, nothing but reflections & hallucination can't fix.
