PLOT
Two criminal ‘fixers’ (Clooney, Pitt) are hired for the same job. Forced to work together, they soon realise it’s more complicated.
AT FIRST GLANCE, Wolfs, the first nonSpider-Man film from director Jon Watts since 2015’s Cop Car, seems to be something of a Pulp Fiction/Quentin Tarantino riff. There’s that deliberately grammatically inaccurate title, which nods to Harvey Keitel’s character from that film, a well-dressed man who ‘solves problems’ when a dead body unhelpfully shows up. There’s aMacGuffin in a bag. There’s a junkie who gets a shot of adrenaline. There’s even aPOV shot from a car boot.
