Wrecked is a 2010 Canadian thriller film, directed by Michael Greenspan, written by Christopher Dodd, produced by Kyle Mann and starring Adrien Brody.
He finds a working cell phone inside a cave, discovering the body of the woodsman, who appears to have been attacked by the cougar.
After crawling for days, he finds a road and a dead body with a matching photo ID card that says Raymond Plazzy.
He then remembers what happened to him: he was running errands with his wife (the Woman) when he witnessed an armed bank robbery, where a security guard is shot and the Man is taken hostage by Plazzy.
[6] Writing for IndieWire and giving it a "B" grade, Eric Kohn calls Adrien Brody's performance "committed" and Michael Greenspan's debut "has the stable definition of a one-act play" but finds the film "falls apart when it starts to repeat itself", but that "Brody's engagement with the material prevents "Wrecked" from falling apart.
"[7] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter calls the film "never less than gripping", saying it "builds tension steadily", "is visually inventive", not tedious, and yet "comes up a bit flat with a perfunctory ending where something more feral or dramatic is needed.
"[9] Alex DiVicenzo concurs: "Christopher Dodd's script would have benefited from a few more twists and turns; something that puts the man in peril but remains grounded in reality to avoid taking the viewer out of the movie.
Director Michael Greenspan does the best that he can with what he has, aided in no small part by the fine cinematography by James Liston.
"[10] In a very brief New York Times review, Jeannette Catsoulis also complains that the film moves slowly at first and lacks suspense.
