Entertainment Blog #376 | The Wrecking Crew [2026] : The Reunion of the Hale brothers...

When it comes to action comedies, especially the ones built around huge personalities and chaotic buddy-cop energy, they can be a blast. If you’re just looking for something that doesn’t take itself too seriously, The Wrecking Crew is exactly that kind of movie. It’s loud, it’s funny, it’s violent, and it has just enough family drama and conspiracy to keep you watching.

“The Wrecking Crew” is a #action #comedy #movie directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Jonathan Tropper. It was released exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on January 28, 2026, and runs for about 2 hours and 2 minutes. The film stars Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, Stephen Root, and Morena Baccarin in a story about two very different half-brothers trying to solve their father’s mysterious death.

The plot focuses on Jonny Hale (Momoa), a loose-cannon cop with attitude and grit, and his half-brother James Hale (Bautista), a disciplined former Navy SEAL. After their father was killed under suspicious circumstances in Hawaii, as the police say, it was just a hit & run, but it got suspicious when some Japanese mafia members came to pay a visit to Jonny's house.

So the brothers are forced to reunite and work together to uncover the truth behind his death. Along the way, they run into corruption, dangerous conspiracies, criminal syndicates, and plenty of opportunities to wreck everything that gets in their way. It's not just crime solving; both brothers are healing on the way to the truth.

The movie throws in over-the-top action sequences, explosive set pieces, and a lot of humor rooted in the contrast between the two brothers and the crazy situations they find themselves in. Reviews from critics have been mostly positive, with an 88 % approval score on Rotten Tomatoes praising the chemistry of Momoa and Bautista and their commitment to old-school action comedy vibes.

So will Jonny and James finally figure out what really happened to their father? Can these two very different men stop fighting over enough to bring down the dangerous forces lurking in Hawaii? And can an action movie really balance family drama, comedy, and conspiracy all at once? It’s up to you to find out.
