JUICE CREW
My gosh that was hardcore, an exhausting bodies in motion flick where fists fly, bullets pierce, and bones cleave. Yeah I'm talking about 2026's The Wrecking Crew, an action comedy that's rock 'em sock 'em, where it's action clip then payoff then action clip then payoff, where a sword or tongue is firmly planted in cheek. Mm-hmm, you get the drift. "Crew" stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, two dudes who have well, decent propensity together and at the same time, a disdain for one another. "Well, it should be fun". Uh, you darn tootin'.
Anyhow The Wrecking Crew has two half-brothers (Bautista as James Hale and Momoa as Jonny Hale) trying to mysteriously find out who offed their father who initially was ruled dead by a hit-and-run. So yeah, basically "Crew" is like a buddy cop movie a la 48 Hrs. and Lethal Weapon, not quite as dark and brooding but just as much fun. Here are the only differences: Momoa's Jonny is a cop that's nonchalant to the nth degree and suspended with pay. Bautista's James is not the fuzz but an ex Navy SEAL with a tempted mean streak. Oh and they're also pseudo related. Did you get all that?
The Wrecking Crew, yup it's Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa going rogue as they leave nothing but human carnage in their wake. As actors they look a little weathered but shine being a couple of antihero gangbusters who have nothing to lose except maybe their heads and/or a limb or two. "Crew's" director (Puerto Rico native Angel Manuel Soto) films nasty fistfights and shootouts three-dimensional, blurring the lines between good taste and good old ferity. His "Crew" has a pretty composite plot for an action vehicle but who cares when there's so much glorious pulp splattered on screen. "Wrecking" ball out.
