Throwing together Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, The Wrecking Crew is your basic odd-couple buddy action-comedy with the two cast as reunited half-brothers working to solve their father’s murder (which local officials are all too eager to write off as a traffic accident. Bautista is the straight-laced Navy SEAL with Momoa being the suspended police detective known for coloring outside the lines and getting into trouble.

Valet is an odd film for a romantic comedy. Rather than having two people fall head-over-heels for each other, the 2022 film is about how the time two strangers spend together teaches each of them to stay away from the people that are wrong for them. We start, not surprisingly, with a contrived situation in which, to protect her secret tryst with a married man (Max Greenfield), Olivia (Samara Weaving) convinces a valet named Antonio (Eugenio Derbez) to pretend to be the starlet’s new boyfriend in hopes of putting the paparazzi off the real story.

Zombie-adjacent, 2017’s Mayhem is a balls-to-the-wall action-horror that offers the opportunity for mass carnage over 86 minutes (while also taking a few pointed jabs at corporate culture). Steven Yeun stars as mid-level exec Derek Cho and Samara Weaving as desperate client Melanie Cross whom he rebuffs. Shortly after that interaction, Derek’s bosses throw him to the wolves to protect their own asses. However, before either can be escorted out of the building, the offices are locked down for a viral outbreak of “Red Eye.”
