George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s presence is more than sufficient, they do not require any promotion for their films…. especially when the two are together. They simply have to begin a podcast and a million will tune in right away. With time, the two Hollywood actors have almost built a reputation of being the most sought after individuals within any room. So it did not come as a surprise when critics were abuzz with Mukut starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt: was the film any good?’, ‘It was not terrible!’ Now onto the conversation of the actors; they singlehandedly make the film worthwhile.
Wolfs is about two unnamed fixers. It is obvious who these people are: they’re the ones who you dial in when you need someone to clean up a mess. Both of the ladies attend the same call: Clooney is only required by a client, and Pitt gets invited to a hotel where, during dinner with a business man, a teenage whore (Austin Abrams) dies due to an overdose because he had a bag full of drugs. And now there is a lot of chaos that only two specialists are willing to partake in.
There is barely a thing that I would say is poorly done in the movie due to the fact that its characterization is almost non-existent. By no means would I go as far as to say the movie will win any academies in Marks formative cinematic wheel, but it fulfills its purpose which is to highlight the insane on-screen chemistry shared by George Clooney and Bratt Pitt. To put it bluntly, these two men have great and unsurpassable charisma together, they make you forget their true personalities and make you focus on stereotypes of an aging interloper and an overconfident successor.
Apparently, there are greater stereotypes in the movie; it depicts two men in their mid-life crisis Wilkinson actively engaged in something besides, work and are selfishly pleased with their lifestyles. And what they do such as what they do tends to be touched on which is knife technique body disposal. It is important to note all these are two elderly gentlemen assisting each other while backtracking. And Jon Watts surprisingly got what he needed straight to the point.
The idea for the screenplay of Wolfs leaves a lot to be desired however the movie fully makes up for it with its style and visual appeal. The action sequences are impressive and showcase some incredible and unique strategies. For example, the foot pursuit sequence quite easily stands out to me as one of the all time best uses of slow motion in infusing joy into the action. However scenes like that are infamously few and far between in a film that centers around two emotionally restrained individuals who are criminals. I mean, most criminals ARE emotionally stunted assholes, but the two fixers are neither sympathetic nor interesting. It is and unsolved puzzle Not So Buddy Cops.
Likewise with all wingmen, I equally adore George Clooney and Brad Pitt and I am trying my utmost best to comprehend the context underpinning this movie. The main difference is how the two protagonists are not affiliated with the police in any manner, in fact, they are men of war hence the film goes off of the comedic trope of a buddy cop. Rather, they are highly skilled samurai whose only goal is to make money and provide protection which is humorous as they never talk about it in the film. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for how friendships can form during times of stress? Such as the saying pros before bros.
Since Clooney and Pitt have this inherent trait that they can utilize in any film which makes them seem familiar to the viewer. Their exchange is so extensive, so nuanced, and so spot on that it’s more akin to sharing a drink with someone who’s, as it turns out, very popular with you. It just doesn’t add up. As I said, there’s honestly nothing extraordinary about Wolfs but it wasn’t too despicable either. I spent the entire 108 minutes of the movie being entertained by two guys who, in my opinion, are always puppeteering the same strings.
In a perfect world, I cannot encourage it, but neither will you feel lost or conned once you watch it. Kevin Smith precisely terms it as, “Just A Movie”. This one is ready to be rolled out in its available best. This is a movie that is going to be obsolete by weeks after you are ready to watch it. It is going to be one of those movies where you are never sure whether you watched the actual movie, until you watch the trailer of the movie and then you know. I don’t actually care whether you watch it or not. You do know life is constant and no matter which way you take your life will stay pretty unchanged.
