  • WRECKED (DVD MOVIE)

  • An edgy drama about a gay teen s tumultuous decent into drugs and anonymous sex, Wrecked smashes cinematic taboos while it spins its cautionary tale. Ryan is an earnest 18-year-old trying to develop a career as an actor and getting his life on the right track. This course is quickly threatened with the sudden arrival of his sort-of ex, Daniel, who arrives at Ryan s door wanting a place to stay and offering the promise of a normal, loving relationship. But Daniel s drug addiction and attitude towards casual sex derail any hope for normalcy and soon ensnares Ryan in his own downward spiral. Handheld cameras, a hot young cast and a boldly upfront approach to sex combine to make Wrecked a unique film experience.

    Lacks Direction

    Lovable loser falls in love with drug addict, begins using drugs, dies of overdose. It's a pretty tired old tale if you ask me.

    Ryan wants to be an actor, but he can't act. His ex-bf, Daniel shows up, and Ryan lets him back into his life. Even though he knows Daniel is still using drugs, still having random, unprotected sex, and still stealing and lying to support his habit. Even though he says Daniel smells bad, yet defiantly refuses to use deodorant. But regardless of Daniel's wretched body odour, Ryan can't stop having sex with Daniel long enough to throw him out. So Ryan begins a downward spiral. First losing his acting job. Then by participating in Daniel's promiscuity. And finally by doing drugs with one of Daniel's random tricks. In the last scene he appears to have died of an overdose.

    I wish I could say something nice about this film. But it suffers from a lack of direction. By that I mean, the director wasn't doing his job. Camera work was shaky and out of focus. Actors fumbled and stumbled over badly written lines. And it's really hard to say if there was enough sex to call this a porn film. But there were a lot of fragments of sex acts between pimply, greasy, decidedly un-sexy actors in decidedly un-sexy surroundings. It looks as though the film was made in the filthiest, messiest, most unattractive surroundings that could be found. It's really a shame. Even a film with actors of this low calibre could have been made into something worth watching. But this is not worth watching.

    One thing is true of every film; The good parts can be credited to any member of the cast or crew. But a bad film can only be blamed on the director. This is a bad film.

    This movie seems to have a good story behind it but the movie is poorly acted and boring

    Wrecked can't be Fixed

    Wrecked provides a personal, provocative viewpoint of the writer directors behind the scenes look at his relationship with his boyfriend. Although intriguing from the beginning, we eventually find ourselves in a stereotypical situation involving a drug using, manipulating young man that we neither care for and at times, wonder why the lead character would care for him. It is obvious that he can do much better. With ample nudity and tons of simulated sex, the two youth struggle to maintain a relationship. During the day, the lead works as an actor and begins having difficulty with his role due to his concerns over the sincerity of his long lost lover that appeared at his door all while his lover is out tricking to find new drugs or funds for drugs to keep him submerged in his make believe world of all is well. When the two are together, sex is the weapon used to distract the couple from addressing the real issues that they need to face.

    When the lover is caught in an act of seduction at his boyfriends apartment it almost seems like this is finally the act that will make the lead wakeup and realize that this guy needs to be kicked to the curb but it only adds a different level of confusion to this story. Wrecked is conceived by a young man and it shows in the way the situations are handled. Seasoned lovers would never tolerate such behavior and if they do, deserve what they get. When you're young, you're youthful behavior is easily forgiven.

    This movie is worth watching if you like watching young, twinkish men walking around naked or partially naked in a drugged up state of mind. I didn't feel for any of the characters and the level of acting is subpar.
