Title: The Wrecking Crew
MPA Rating: R
Director: Angel Manuel Soto
Starring: Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa, Roimata Fox
Runtime: 2 hrs 4 mins

What It Is: Jonny Hale (Momoa) is a currently suspended police officer whose father, Walter, has just been killed in what appears to be a hit-and-run. His brother, James (Bautista), a Navy SEAL living on their home island of Hawaii, thinks there might be more to it than meets the eye. Now the two of them, if they can manage to get along, will try to figure out what really happened to their estranged father. They might kill each other before that even happens. Brothers gonna brother.

What We Think: Sometimes a dumb, stupid actioner is just what the doctor ordered. The first of its kind in 2026, this is fun, and the chemistry between Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa is genuinely great, even if the script they’re working from is terrible. It’s a completely by-the-numbers action plot: over-the-top silly villain, way too much exposition, the whole nine yards. And yet, I had a hell of a fun time watching this piece of trash. Chemistry ends up being the winner of the day for Angel Manuel Soto in his follow-up to the surprisingly charming Blue Beetle.

Our Grade: C-, Does this movie suck if you don’t like action movies? Hell yes, it does. It’s also way too long. Like, we know where this thing is going about 30 minutes in. Let’s wrap this bad boy up. Instead, it pads itself with ridiculous nonsense. Luckily for it, I happen to love ridiculous nonsense. Listen, I had fun. It isn’t good, but I refuse to say this isn’t a damn fun film worth your time. Maybe it isn’t for the whole family (there are a lot of F-bombs), but I’ll be damned if it isn’t good enough to hold your attention.
