Wolfs

It's perfectly fine for what it is. Sit back and enjoy the fellas cracking wise to each other.

The writing just isn't there and so the movie is as boring as this review.

Wolfs is a perfectly average crime comedy elevated by the presence of Brad Pitt and George Clooney (also with a minor appearance from Amy Ryan and a voice only role from Frances McDormand). Jon Watts does a good job balancing the tone between the comedy and more dramatic crime elements. The cinematography is also slightly more elevated than you'd expect. If you're a fan of Pitt and/or Clooney, and just want some fun stylish banter, then this is worth checking out. Otherwise feel free to skip it.

So sad to see that the director is incapable of applying the formula even with formulaic actors present.

For sure a funny movie, and these guys really have great chemistry on the big screen. But beyond that.. even the 'big twist' at the end cant save this movie from being mediocre.

No dialogues at all!

There are laughs and subversive moments. Pitt and Cloney get their Butch and Sundance story, ending and all. It's fine.

This was as mediocre as mediocre can go. So much talent wasted on such an empty script. I understand Clooney and Pitt wanting to work together again but this is not it. Very weak for this crew and on the border of being boring.

I'm not gonna say I wasn't excited about the concept: low-key, laid-back, self-conscious throwback to the kind of high-concept, big-star vehicle we just don't see anymore, but that was pretty common until not very long ago and used to lure millions of people to theaters. Problem is you gotta have some talent behind the cameras, not an useful hack like Watts, to pull that off, even with Pitt and Clooney saving entire scenes with their charisma. Such a vapid piece of genre filmmaking.

Did not at all buy the moral dilemma that both "professionals" were facing. We all knew how it would end.

An okay mix of action, thriller, and comedy. But it was slow at points, Clooney was not great, and it was ultimately a very generic movie. I made it sound bad but it is fine for free streaming

Making Clooney and Pitt both play stoic/"professional" types unfortunately takes away all the opportunities for their charm, and indeed their acting. Plot was expected, direction moved things along, story was kinda absent. Good enough to pass away a couple of hours on the couch, but hardly worth going out for.

Kind of bad, but still kind of funny. Second half was better than the first.

Formulaic big star vehicle.

A strange one. Perfectly fine, with the charismatic duo leading the charge, but something is missing. Meanders more than it excites in several spots. When it's on it's really fun though. Their performances alone are worth a viewing and can elevate the relatively mediocre script. 6.7.

There's a lot of talent in here and seeing Clooney/Pitt bounce off each other is always going to be fun because they're both really charming, though I don't think it's the best of either of these guys. I enjoyed this a decent amount but I'm disappointed. Nothing, from the dialogue to way the plot unravels is as snappy as I expected. There's some okay directorial flourish but the script doesn't hold its ground. It's formulaic, good and also unmemorable. Sold 7/10 material.
