The Daily Beast added: "Never quite as funny as it wants to be, but making up for that in the violence department, it’s a healthy serving of slam-bang cinematic comfort food."
Screen Rant wrote: "The combination of Soto's slick direction and nice chemistry between Bautista and Momoa ultimately keeps The Wrecking Crew mostly afloat."
Meanwhile, MovieWeb summarised: "The Wrecking Crew is a no-holds-barred action comedy that gleefully embraces savage extremes to entertaining effect. Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa are fantastic in a raunchy, bloody, and swift narrative that never takes its foot off the gas."
Speaking to Mamas Geeky ahead of The Wrecking Crew's release, Soto explained how he balanced the comedy and drama of the film's narrative.
"Everybody understood who their character was and what they were supposed to do in the moment. There is action and comedy, but there is also heart," he began.
"I wanted the action to be brutal, but I didn’t want it to pull people out of the experience. By sprinkling humor and emotion, you experience action through the character, not just through punches and explosions."
The Wrecking Crew is streaming now on Prime Video.
