Wrecking Crew (2026)

My spouse and I have a penchant for watching extremely llght movies when we are on our way to a vacation. We have leaned toward action movies that lack much in the way of depth or message, and then on the way home we might dip our toes into more meaningful and message driven fare. This is definitely of the going on vacation genre. The two stars of this are quite likable actors playing at odds siblings. Dave Bautista plays the rock-solid family man, James Hale, a former Navy SEAL turned drill instructor who has a house near Honolulu, a beautiful and charming child psychologist wife, Leila (Roimata Fox), and two adorable kids. Jason Momoa plays the loose cannon partner, James’ half-brother Jonny, a long-haired, hard-drinking, impetuous cop on an Oklahoma reservation. hey’ve been estranged for more than 20 years. But when their father, Walter, a sleazy private eye, gets killed in a hit-and-run accident while working a case in Honolulu, Jonny swallows his pride and flies to Hawaii for the funeral, setting up the inevitable reconciliation, plus lots of skillfully choreographed, sometimes slyly funny action sequences. They untangle the demise of their parents as well as some rampant corruption, all the while looking like they spend way more time in the gym than their characters spend throwing their weight around.
