As of this writing, The Wrecking Crew has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 85% with 13 reviews submitted. This is notable for a couple of reasons. For starters, direct-to-streaming action movies typically receive mixed reviews, so The Wrecking Crew looks to be a cut above its peers. Additionally, it ends unfortunate Rotten Tomatoes streaks for the two leading men. The past few films both had appeared in have rotten critics scores on the aggregator.
| Actor | Movie | Rotten Tomatoes Score |
| Bautista | In the Lost Lands | 24% |
| Bautista | Trap House | 52% |
| Momoa | Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom | 33% |
| Momoa | In the Hand of Dante | 43% |
| Momoa | A Minecraft Movie | 48% |
What Critics Are Saying About The Wrecking Crew
There’s no critics consensus for The Wrecking Crew available yet, but skimming over the published reviews gives people a general overview of the film’s pros and cons. While the screenplay is fairly formulaic, the chemistry between Bautista and Momoa make up for any storytelling deficiencies, injecting a sense of excitement and energy into the movie. The two make for a strong pair of action film leads, playing off each other well to create a fun buddy cop dynamic. In the film, Momoa and Bautista play two half-brothers who try to solve their father’s murder, and it’s apparently easy to buy them as siblings.
The reviews that skew more negatively take issue with The Wrecking Crew retreading too much familiar ground in this genre, though for the most part, people seem to be enjoying the film. The Wrecking Crew may not go down as the next great action classic, but it seems like it’s a fine way to spend a couple of hours when scrolling through Prime for something to watch. Compared to some of the streamer’s other original action movies (like the Alan Ritchson vehicle Playdate), The Wrecking Crew is a marked improvement, and it should find an audience on streaming. It wouldn’t be surprising to see it at the top of Prime’s charts once it starts streaming.
