Wolf

85 minites of this utter dross tested my patience! Zero acting, talking head script and special effects makeup that kids wouldn't use on their Halloween costumes. Avold in the cinema, dvd or the streaming platforms. Save the 85 mintites for something else - bathing the dog, cleaning the toilet , spending time with the in- laws, anything but wasting it on this dross.

Wolf can be respected as a movie that has been made and put out in cinemas...and also inspirational in the fact that if this movie can get made, anyone can do it.

Wolf feels exactly like the too ambitious movie project a student would make. Brilliant drone shots escorted by a horrible expositional script that feels very much shot around the idea but without the budget or vision to execute the screenplay.

The casting really does feel amateur and student-like, down to the director/writer/producer and the token old actor and recast characters.

It's a shame, Wolf could have been more with stupid cheesy werewolf effects or with microphones that worked. Instead the film is poorly edited, sounds amateur, and effectively is an 85 minute movie that feels like a 180 minute one.

Sometimes when you watch a movie, you start to think about what the director and writers thought at the start thought the finished product would be like. Honestly, they should have thought about it and left it at that.

Poor script, poor acting, very few moments of historical correctness and gone overboard with political correctness. I mean, a female legionairre? I'm all for having tough women in movies, but a female legionairre simply wouldn't have happened, Romans wouldn't even have considered it. I get this is fantasy, but it's based on reality. Then they should at least get the historical foundation right, same goes for some of the equipment. It's not that hard to find someone who actually has knowledge about the Roman period and army. It just shows that the director and writers didn't even take their own movie serious, how is an audience supposed to be seriously entertained by it then?

My advice would be to skip this and find yourself a movie of at least some quality to entertain yourself.

Let's start with the positives: there was a very clear shot of the moon - a crisp, clear image, the score had musical instruments in it and the beards looked real. It's not very long.

Other than that....every thing about this was just plain bad. Awful. If an infinite number of monkeys etc could blah blah Shakespeare, one monkey with half a crayon and a piece of cardboard and a hangover would be embarrassed to have written this. And the director may not even have been an animal. A houseplant, perhaps? Each actor said their monkey-written lines in turn, then a pause, then the next actor says something daft. This wasn't even so bad it's quite funny. I can't say anymore because writing this is making me remember the film which is making me feel tired and cold inside.

If you're at home and looking for a way to pass some time and the choice is this or unblocking a septic tank with your bare hands, good luck and wear safety glasses...

I've never left a review on here before, however I'd also never left a film early until now. Thankfully I have a cinema membership so I didn't pay entry for this otherwise i would have been looking for a refund or transfer to another film. Poor acting, script, pace, camera work, this film had me redeeming qualities for me.
