‘The Wrecking Crew’: Much More Fun Than You'd Imagine

Could Bautista and Momoa outfight the Yakuza? Bautista is a 300 lb. WWE Champ, and Momoa will weigh 300 if he keeps drinking beer. Easy to suspend disbelief.

“The Wrecking Crew” is an action-comedy starring the hulking Jason Momoa and the humungous Dave Bautista as behemoth half-brothers. They hate and Hulk-smash each other—and much of Hawaii—while trying to figure out what happened to their dead dad. It turned out to be a lot more fun than it had any right to be.
