DVD Review WRECKED (BLU-RAY)  This is the kind of film that is meant to showcase an actor's dramatic chops, being a mostly one-man show for Adrien Brody as a character with amnesia who awakes in a deep ravine trapped in crashed car.

Though the stories are unique to the individual families, these intimate profiles resonate with all of us: the stories of the men and women who fought and fight for themselves, their families, and their country.
