A man awakens in a car wreck at the bottom of a steep cliff. He can’t remember who he is or how he got there, but a report over the radio fills in some of the blanks, as it describes a violent bank robbery and names a perpetrator who happens to be sitting dead in the back seat.

Viewing Notes
This tragically overlooked indie drama/thriller from last year features an excellent performance from Adrien Brody.
This is a movie has little dialogue to it, since Brody’s character spends almost the entire movie on his own. Brody slowly awakens from a car crash, still stuck in the car, and it becomes apparent that not only does he not know how he got there, he doesn’t even know who he is.
Brody’s character spends the rest of the movie trying to extricate himself from his situation: both the physical and the mental.
Wrecked is very well shot and the sound recording is natural and excellent, doing a lot to immerse the viewer in the movie early on (pay attention to the sounds in the car during the opening scenes. They’re hollow and enclosed, adding a lot of depth to the claustrophobia of the situation).
There are also a few scenes involving a mountain lion that are staggeringly realistic and deeply unsettling!
If you don’t have much patience, this probably isn’t the movie for you. However, if you do, I highly recommend watching it.
