"The Wrecking Crew is a competent action experience that survives thanks to that contagious energy and Ángel Manuel Soto's direction, which knows how to value physical spectacle, resulting in a film that, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel, offers two hours of honest and amusing escapism. The technical execution of the action and the magnetism of Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista frequently collide with the soullessness of a shamelessly algorithmic script, but in the end, the protagonists' charisma ensures victory, proving that a good duo can carry even the most formulaic screenplay."

This is a good sequel to the South Park episode. A relatively uninspired action buddy comedy where they just throw in that the guy is a cop and the other guy is a seal. Or are they both seals? You know...there's a lot you don't need to know in this. You don't need to watch it but you can and you won't be surprised nor disappointed.
"The Wrecking Crew" is aptly named.
This action flick, for me, early on wrecked any chance that I'd actually enjoy this film. I'll put my hand up and say I'm sick and tired of the gratuitous violence oozing out of Hollywood. The light, jokey tone of this film is at odds with oftentimes really ugly violence. Entirely smashing someone's upper teeth against a table in the opening scenes is one such example. It's not funny; it's not okay, its not entertaining, no matter who it's done to.
Regrettably, given how violent US society is, perhaps I should not be surprised, but it's also one of the reasons I don't watch a great deal of US cinema these days.
Beyond that, the actions of the formulaic variety and the bro buddy back story has long since ossified into a cliche.
In summary, tone it down, Hollywood. Excessive violence is not okay. If you want to make a light-toned action flick, then try doing just that.
This movie was actually a better popcorn action movie than most of these poictacal thrillers come hijack come heists movies of late that are ok for a shelf filler as I would say in my video shop days. I would recommended it for exactly what it is and the known stars. Both well known for brawn.Funny and watchable to the end, if you dont get bored with the non stop violence. 7/10
