Buddy cop movies are a tried and true genre, and folks with an Amazon Prime subscription were recently treated to another entry: Ángel Manuel Soto's The Wrecking Crew. Critical response praised Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista's chemistry, as well as the epic (and bloody) violence of the R-rated movie. While I enjoyed the movie as a whole, I was shocked by just how many fat jokes were included throughout its 122-minute runtime.
While CinemaBlend's The Wrecking Crew review criticized the movie for being formulaic, I enjoyed watching all the pulse-pounding action play out from the comfort of my home. Jason Momoa is as charismatic as ever, and it was fun to watch him literally throwing his enemies around. I just wish his character, Jonny Hale, didn't make so many fatphobic jokes.
