Wolfs (2024)

Wofls is surprisingly dull and lacks any spark. It appears to be coasting on the star power of its leads, whose star power may be fading, something the film doesn't want to admit. The film just isn't that funny, energizing, or entertaining generally. It also doesn't really seem to have much of anything to say. 

Clooney and Pitt both play the same characters they always play. Many big stars do this (looking at you Ryan Reynolds) but without a script that capitalizes on their brands other than just relying on them, that doesn't amount to much chemistry or charisma. 10 years ago would you believe that a Clooney/Pitt vehicle would lack all charisma? Perhaps but that's another discussion. These are considered bankable stars and Wolfs shows that perhaps these emperors have lost their clothes. 

There is little offensive or upsetting about Wolfs. It just is. It feels disposable and forgettable. I'd argue this might have to do with what Watts brings to the table. He's a filmmaker whose appeal I just don't get. His work feels standard and assembly line and that's even before he did his MCU work but perhaps even more now. 

So if you're looking for something to have on while you scroll on your phone Wolfs would be perfectly fine. If you are a Clooney and/or Pitt devotee, Wolfs would be fine.
