I love buddy action movies, and the official Prime Video’s The Wrecking Crew trailer delivers exactly what I’m looking for. The trailer pairs Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as estranged half-brothers who punch, quip, and bulldoze their way through a family conspiracy. Seeing two giant brown men front and center, kicking ass together while carrying the heart of the story, absolutely floored me.
Brotherhood Over Bruises
Jonny and James are pulled back together by their father’s mysterious death, then thrown into secrets that refuse to stay buried. The rhythm of their insults, the shoulder checks, the reluctant trust that tightens with each fight scene, it all crackles. Momoa’s looseness plays perfectly against Bautista’s coiled intensity, so every glare, joke, and haymaker lands.
Hawai‘i Heat With Heart
Set on the streets of Hawai‘i, the film blends sun-drenched chase scenes with neon-lit showdowns while keeping the stakes personal. Director Ángel Manuel Soto steers the tone toward big fun with real feelings, so the laughs never undercut the emotion.

The Wrecking Crew is Built to Entertain
The supporting lineup adds swagger and mischief at every turn. Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, Stephen Root, and Morena Baccarin round out a cast designed for chaos and charm. With a script by Jonathan Tropper and producers Jeff Fierson, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Matt Reeves, and Lynn Harris, the package screams confident go-big entertainment.
The Wrecking Crew streams globally on Prime Video January 28, 2026, with a 2-hour and 2-minute runtime. It looks like the buddy-action blast that will have everyone quoting lines until spring.
