The Wrecking Crew (2026) Movie Review

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Movie Review: Perfect for Streaming

We honestly didn’t expect much from The Wrecking Crew, but the end result turned out to be surprisingly decent. Don’t get us wrong though, this film feels very much like a video game in terms of its story, realism, and even its dialogue, and it’s undeniably rough around the edges. Still, when taken purely for its entertainment value and the undeniable chemistry between its leads, The Wrecking Crew ends up being a whole lot of fun and far from a complete waste of time.

After their father dies in a suspicious hit-and-run accident, half-brothers James (Dave Bautista) and Jonny (Jason Momoa) decide to investigate the case themselves. Their search quickly spirals out of control as they cross paths with the yakuza, survive random attacks, and deal with the kidnapping of their loved ones, pulling them into a deadly conspiracy involving the rich and powerful.

To put it bluntly, The Wrecking Crew is a film that demands properly managed expectations. Without that, its flaws are impossible to ignore. The plot is thin, the scenarios are wildly unrealistic, and anyone looking for plausibility in their action films will likely find themselves frustrated. From the gunfights to the chase sequences and basic logic, the movie regularly throws realism out the window to keep the story moving.

That said, the film is still a lot of fun. Carried by Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, The Wrecking Crew delivers the right amount of dumb entertainment and in-your-face comedy that makes its overall silliness easy to enjoy. Jason Momoa in particular delivers a wild performance in the film while Dave Bautista does decently in tandem to his jolly partner in crime. The Wrecking Crew may be ridiculous, but it meets expectations and more. If you’re looking for a “turn-off-your-brain” action film, The Wrecking Crew fits the bill perfectly.
