The Wrecking Crew trailer: Jason Momoa, Dave Bauta team up to fight against the Yakuza and avenge their father | Hollywood News

Streaming giant Amazon Prime Video are coming up with another high-octane action film in the form of The Wrecking Crew, which will feature two of the most destructive men in Hollywood. Aquaman actor Jason Momoa and Avengers actor Dave Bauta are teaming up as brothers in the new film, and what starts as a serene drive around town turns into a full-blown attack on the two. The trailer sets the premise for why the attack occurred and how the brothers are going to hit back.
The trailer of The Wrecking Crew starts with Momoa and Bauta getting ambushed while in their car. While they fight off the attackers, at the cost of their car, they both discover that the people after them are the Yakuza. We discover later that they are playing brothers and that their father has been murdered. James (Bauta) thinks that it was a simple hit and run that killed their father, but Jonny (Momoa), equipped with his ‘cop’ instincts, thinks that there was some foul play involved.

He isn’t exactly wrong, because Jonny does find himself being threatened with a knife in the privacy of his own bathroom in the very next scene. For some reason unbeknownst to the brother, the Yakuza wants to shut them up and take them off the board, just like they did their father. James also seems to have some kind of military background, considering his proficiency while dealing with weapons and the armoury he owns. At one point in the trailer he gets warned, “You’ll poke a bear which doesn’t want to be poked,” and he just replies, “Take my word for it when I tell you, I am that bear.”
After some other John Wick-like ‘gear-up’ montages later, the brothers hurl themselves into a world of chaos, murder and danger. There is also a little Old Boy homage, as the trailer shows a scene where James is fighting some Yakuza members the same way Oh Dae-Su fights in that iconic lob scene.

Directed Angel Manuel Soto, the cast of The Wrecking Crew includes Jason Momoa, Dave Bauta, Claes Bang, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Morena Baccarin and Stephen Root. It releases on January 28.
