Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: "Wrecked" is mostly free of dialogue - and, unfortunately, suspense. Read more

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter: The 91-minute film builds tension steadily and despite the single set -- if you can think of the wilderness as a single set -- it is visually inventive so the man's ordeal never grows tedious. Read more

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: Asked to convey a wide spectrum of emotional tones like confusion, shock, sadness, anger and oh, look out for the mountain lion, Brody does all he can to hold the screen. Read more
