Les Loups de Wall Street

Wolves of Wall Street has an interesting concept. But, that is the only interesting element in this movie.

Here a Wall Street wanna-be fresh out of school and with no luck finding a position elsewhere joins a highly successful all-male Wall Street Firm whose initiation consists of transforming the new members into werewolves.

Now a Wall Street werewolf may be a new concept.

The concept that a werewolf is just a person in dark lighting, some blue make-up who catches his victims with his "odor" while novel is AWFUL. The reason it wasn't tried before is that it doesn't work.

The werewolves in the film are supposed to be completely irresistible to women, but there is hardly any evidence of this in the film. They cut in and out repeatedly of the two or so scenes of anything remotely erotic. And, I stress REMOTELY.

These werewolves are too "suave" to hunt or chase their prey. They just approach their intended victim and let their exuding natural pheromones do the rest. And other than a wet kiss on the victims' thigh, there doesn't seems to be much other damage.

I did learn this though: with pheromones, a designer suit and just the right "I'm too hot for you" glance, a werewolf can even "convert" a lesbian. But, in this case, a "lesbian" is a woman the werewolf can't get any vibes from. Sounds like the guy who gets rejected at the bar!

Nothing scary... No suspense... No special effects... No sex...

These wolves don't even have canine teeth!

If you want to see male models parading in fine suits looking smug, you will be quite pleased. The entire budget seems to be spent on clothes and bad actors, in that order.

Do yourself a favor ... just pass.

The premise of this movie is decent. A stockbroking neophyte learns the predatory reality of ripping people off for a living from Gordan The Insurance Gecko ... I mean Willie Wallstreet Wolfman. There are some decent performances considering the script with which the actors had to work, especially Eric Roberts doing his best to inject some class into a low-budget dumpster fire. But any good qualities are undone by incompetent direction and editing. Multiple scenes are interrupted by smash cuts to the full moon for no apparent reason. And then there are the multiple intercut flashbacks to some sort of homoerotic, masochistic leg-licking ritual, also for no apparent reason. It gets very tedious very quickly. One wonders whether the director was papering over things he forgot to shoot in various scenes; or whether he just assumed the audience would forget about the full moon and the Chippendale's wolfboys unless he reminded us every 25 seconds. Either way there's no stakes, tension or fun; this is so boring it doesn't even merit a so-bad-it's-good ironic watch.

who had this lame idea of mixing Wall Street and American Werewolf In London? Two perfectly great films do not necessarily make one good movie. Poorly acted, executed, filmed, edited and just a bad idea in the first place.

Could this have been done better...I doubt it. I think the whole idea was a stillborn from the start. I also think it felt way too overdone already from both the "big business" and "scary werewolf from young guy" approach. I feel for the people that put any money or effort into this...total waste.

Ugh..couldn't't stand the whole "transformation" thing. Not the man to werewolf but the wanna-be to "high stakes broker"...a beret? what were they thinking????

This movie seemed like a fun way of wasting time. I figured that the movie would be a cheesy werewolf movie only useful to kill time, boy was I wrong. This movie was a total waste of money, I don't even know why I rented it anymore. This film sucked so bad, because the story was a piece of crap, its intents of suspense, drama and horror fell flat on their asses. THERE ARE NO WEREWOLVES IN THIS MOVIE!!!!!! no whatsoever, I can't even complain about the bad special effects, because there are none!! It doesn't even have blood or anything like that. No tits, No blood, No werewolves. NO NOTHING. This film was nothing but a waste of time. Do yourself a favor and skip this piece of trash.

If you're going to make a movie about werewolves or vampires someone should actually turn into one. It would have been a good low-budget movie with a different hook but they failed to make a monster. Maybe it was a budget thing, I've been there. ADVISE: If you don't have enough money to do it right, don't do it!
