Wolfs

The movie itself is decent enough.

George and Brad make it very watchable. If these two heavyweights were not in it and it was two average actors it would be nothing special.

But Clooney and Pitt are quality and their comedic skills are not to be underestimated. Well done to both of them. I first saw them together in Burn Without Reading. Also a good film. They work very well together and their chemistry is great. I look forward to seeing them working together again hopefully.

I would recommend seeing the film. It's definitely worth watching. Especially for the performances of the two excellent leading actors.

Seeing George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite in a movie was a genuine delight. They both play professional fixers forced to work together despite being lone wolves. Both of them continue to have wonderful chemistry, which leads to a relatively entertaining buddy cop sort of movie.

However, the story is very straightforward and has all the expected tropes in these types of stories. The comedy isn't laugh-out-loud funny but can give you a slight smile. When there are action scenes, in which there is very little off, it is serviceable at most.

It is a bit of a shame that with 2 huge stars, all they made was a generic and not-very-memorable movie. Nevertheless, it was still quite enjoyable to watch for a streaming movie.

Margaret (Amy Ryan) is the city DA with a problem. She brought a non-prostitute (Austin Abrams) back to her hotel room and he apparently died. She calls a special number for a fixer (George Clooney). It turns out that the hotel manager had also called in her cleaner (Brad Pitt).

This is some fun with a crime thriller. The meat and potatoes of this is watching Clooney and Pitt playing off of each other. While it's fun, they've done this before and this is old hat for the guys. I would have liked to keep Amy Ryan around, but they do replace her with an Austin Abrams. There is a really fun chase in the middle. For most of the movie, I am trying to figure out the situation like Clooney. In the end, my problem is that I don't understand the whole scheme. The boys seem to yadayada the thing whether we understand it or not. I am not convinced by it. This is nevertheless some good light fun, but it won't be remembered as anything in the future.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on here in regards to this movie and I can't for the life of me see why, it was very well paced, had a bit of humour when required and the actors did really well with the material they had, always enjoy Pitt and Clooney together and that again works brilliantly here, the broody Clooney plays off the slightly more humorous carefree Pitt rather well, I hope they do another one in the future or at least another movie together because their chemistry together is always fantastic, Apple TV on the whole get very little wrong and this is another success story, a high 8/10.

"Wolfs" on Apple TV+ is an intriguing yet uneven experience. The film blends suspense and drama, offering a unique take on the genre with solid performances, especially from the lead actors. The cinematography is visually striking, capturing the moody and tense atmosphere that fits the tone of the story. However, the pacing feels off at times-certain scenes linger too long, while others feel rushed, leaving some plot points underdeveloped. The film's strengths lie in its character dynamics and emotional depth, but it doesn't fully deliver on its potential. Overall, it's an entertaining watch but falls just short of greatness. I'd give it a solid 7/10.
