terrible acting, beautiful car
18 August 2016
Wrecker is in fact what we can say a kind of rip-off of the famous Steven Spielberg flick Duel (1971). Two girls in a Ford Mustang are suddenly being chased by a tow truck without any reason, the driver is never shown and nothing is explained. So far that can't be a problem but what do makes it hard to watch is the acting and the story.

The first 15 minutes I could dig and it all started rather good with an old Ford being broken down at , you guessed it, a road with Devil in it and no cell phone reception. But after 15 minutes the road goes down together with the flick. The acting of Anna Hutchison is below zero. Normally I can stand screaming girls but she doesn't understand it at all. Of course it's also her character that makes her a stupid blond. When a car is left alone on a bridge she can passes it easily but she stops just in front of that broken car, and there are so many things that doesn't make sense. The cop stopping her makes no sense at all. The gas attendant is acting terrible when she waves her gun. How her girlfriend is being put in the trunk of the Mustang is a don't know, at the diner the way she reacts is a girl with big issues.

Towards the end there's use of bad CGI can't explain when not to spoil what is happening but it's really bad CGI.

What I did enjoy was the Ford Mustang and the truck. Like the tow truck is doing it should better tow this flick to the dumpster.
