US EditionPrime Video's 'The Wrecking Crew' smashes into screens Jan. 28
The Wrecking Crew features Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa in a retro-style action-comedy with mixed reviews highlighting strong leads but predictable plotlines.
- On Wednesday, January 28 Prime Video will stream The Wrecking Crew globally, starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in Ángel Manuel Soto's action-comedy.
- The film intentionally channels a retro buddy‑cop sensibility, leaning into a throwback to showcase its superhero‑sized leads and preserving familiar action‑movie building blocks.
- Plotwise, the brothers' investigation quickly shifts into violent set pieces, including early Yakuza brawls with Momoa tearing off an arm and escalating into explosions with wide collateral damage.
- Rated 82% "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, the film shows broad critical support and reviewers offer a moderate recommendation as a loud at‑home diversion for Prime Video subscribers.
- Shane Black's earlier work frames the film's genre lineage, yet critics say it remains largely by‑the‑book despite flashes of inventiveness within the mismatched‑duo lineage.
