Wolfs

Given the cast and the concept I expected more... it is an okay film there is nothing wrong with it. At times the interaction between the two Wolfs is interesting and engaging. It has a good character arc and development. The pacing feels a little off, the action sequences are too fast and the plot moments are too slow. I think there should have been more "Tarantino" style moments between the Pitt and Clooney but overall it's fine.

It's a bit of a cliche now but I believe this would have worked much better as a limited series. The characters feel superficial and it lacks any real tension or suspense.

It's worth a watch on the basis that it's an original idea but don't expect too much.

So after John Watts wrapped up his Spider-Man trilogy with Tom Holland, this is his first big picture.

I give it a C+.

If you enjoy Clooney and Pitt and their easy on screen chemistry, you'll enjoy this.

I can count on two hands how many of Pitt's and Clooney's films (total for both) that are good to great. In many of their films they are serviceable, playing versions of themselves. It's the "I'm cool" snappy patter, and suave, debonair style that infused the Oceans films (but definitely not 8). That's this movie.

It's also a loosely structured remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, right down to the last scene.

The set pieces (chases, gun battles) go on too long.

Too much of a good thing it's definitely too much here.

There are also many plot devices you have to swallow to allow the story to move forward. Not good.

The comedy shtick of two fixers/mechanics/cleaners who are not only carbon copies of each other, but also working for the same guy, gets a little thin. So does the odd sentimentality with the nerdy bagman that the two killers get caught up with. It started to remind me of The Fall Guy. Good actors in a just "okay" film. But that's fine, I guess.

However, the bromance and easy coexistence these two actors have isn't hard to watch, but I wish there had been more revelatory scenes as to their background and training.

But...I'm not sorry I watched it.

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.

How is this marked a crime thriller?? Lol. Its a comedy. And its funny. Some of yall review stuff like you can interpret things deeper than the next person. This film is nothing spectacular, but its good, and its funny. Silly and not believable like most films, but effective. The dynamic between these two will always be something worth at least checking out in my opinion. The director has obviously done some funny with Tom Holland's Spiderman, but this reminded me almost of a Guy Richie film. I'm not going to say it's anywhere near a "Snatch" but i was shocked at how often I was laughing. I would recommend.
