Wolfs 2024

6.8/10
It’s charming enough, but Wolfs is far from the best film the two leads have made (and can make)

George Clooney and Brad Pitt are two of the coolest actors to come out of Hollywood, and this film is a testament to this fact. Watching them, you’ll be reminded of how leading men should be effortlessly funny and charming, but there is such a thing as too cool. Clooney and Pitt are so relaxed and unbothered, you rarely feel the danger of some scenes. When they’re chased by a mob of hitmen or enter a mafia house, you can tell from their expressions alone that they’ll survive, which strips all the fun and mystery out of a thriller such as this. Not that the plot is anything to speak of; its bones are formulaic, helped only by the witty dialogue and charming delivery. They can be hilarious, but mostly watching them feels like hearing a joke that’s gone on for way too long. The movie quickly loses its novelty and drags on, picking up only during the Kid’s (Austin Abrams) whose earnestness and liveliness make him a scene-stealer, yes even and especially with Clooney and Pitt there.

Synopsis

Hired to cover up a high-profile crime, a fixer soon finds his night spiralling out of control when he's forced to work with an unexpected counterpart.

Storyline

Two fixers (George Clooney and Brad Pitt) reluctantly work together for an anonymous boss. But the more they dig into the details of their clean-up job, the more things get suspicious.

TLDR

Close enough, welcome back Deadpool & Wolverine.

What stands out

Abram’s monologue is the best part of the film. He’s about to give Timothee Chalamet a run for his money, I can feel it.
