Hermione G Dec 23, 2018 It is one of the better iterations of the wolf myth in movies. To my kind it really delivers an atmospheric well acted and well paced thriller in the style of the classic universal monster films. The execution in cinematography is interesting and engaging while investigating a methodical approach that is apparent in the visual metaphors within it. The actors are so well cast that you know how they will react and just await a good performance from them - which invariably with their experience they deliver. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader make a very watchable film which dialogue and delivery wouldn't be out of place in a black and white noir classic. Perhaps this is the reason so many people didn't take to the film... in an age of gore, explicit sex scenes, and extreme horror this movie is masterfully well presented understatement of an earlier era.

Hagrid M Jul 5, 2018 Wolf starring Jack Nicholson is a good movie and contains some pretty awesome sequences. It is quite visceral, and the pacing is good. Nicholson is his usual and pretty Michelle Pfieffer can also deliver her lines rather well. Mike Nichols takes a detour from the kind of films he usually makes and this one is special for it. This is quite different from An American werewolf in Paris and the likes. I wouldn't call Wolf underrated but it is a rather unseen film and many people haven't even heard of it. See more

Theodore R Mar 31, 2018 Not enough bite to this film. Nicholson does not deliver his usual striking performance, he is very subdued in this but even his nuances aren't all that noteworthy. James Spader is not a convincing cut throat aggressive type. The writing does not give us enough intrigue or background for Michelle's character. Also lacks the atmosphere and music tone one would expect from a horror. See more

Albus W Feb 8, 2018 This film is neither funny or scary. Even a watchable Nicholson can not save this dud.

Hagrid W Dec 4, 2017 A bizarre, but interesting spin on the werewolf genre. I guess it also plays as a satire on the cutthroat nature of the business world and what becoming a wild creature in this atmosphere would be like. Nicholson is great in the role. See more

George W Sep 25, 2017 Much like Will Randall (Jack Nicholson), Wolf seems very reluctant to just accept the fact that it's a werewolf movie. It plods along and tries to act like a serious drama-with some good acting, I'll admit-until it finally gives in to its impulses at the very end. But by then much of the steam has been lost, and this just becomes another predictable werewolf flick. See more
