FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/wolfs-review-george-clooney-brad-pitt-and-endless-entertaining-banter/ "Wolfs is one of the most recommendable films of the year. Though it doesn’t reinvent the wheel in the action-comedy genre, it stands out for the undeniable chemistry between George Clooney and Brad Pitt, who elevate a generic yet incredibly entertaining script. Jon Watts keeps the pacing agile and fun, capitalizing on the never-ending banter between the protagonists to offer moments of sarcastic, ironic enjoyment. Austin Abrams also deserves recognition as a pleasant surprise, perfectly balancing naivety and comedy. Ultimately, it’s a light, accessible movie for all audiences." Rating: B+

Unwatchable. The brightness throughout the movie is at like 15%,so get ready to guess what's happening, as you can't see a goddamn thing. The plot is also ridiculous, the script lame, and the jokes unfunny. If it hadn't been filmed and produced by blind morons, it'd be a three, but since you can't actually see anything, it's a zero.

"Wolfs" is a rather downbeat crime thriller, that doesn't quite make the most of its potential. Perhaps, my biggest gripe with this film is it tends to dismiss its actually quite interesting, peripheral characters, in favour of its big stars, in this case George Clooney and Brad Pitt. My wife who sat and watched this with me, said in essence it was a dissatisfying experience and I'm inclined to agree. Yes, there are instances in cinema where someone "steals the show" with a stand out performance but more typically, its the whole cast who make a film shine. The failure to extend the role of interesting secondary characters is a shame and I, for one, felt this film would have been better, had that been the case. The end results a film that's still quite watchable but also feels somehow abrupt and incomplete. In summary, "Wolfs" doesn't quite make the most of its potential by making decisions that actually limit the films scope and depth. The results mildly entertaining but by no means remarkable.
