It's not exactly what the Minister of Justice wants to be doing: watching an endless stream of video footage. But a former police officer is very insistent. Together, all this footage -- from hidden cameras, phone taps, Skype sessions and security surveillance -- can tell an interesting story. The focus here is on an obscure bookstore where a group of environmental activists are meeting in secret. Idealistic Winnie and her boyfriend Conrad want to disrupt the G20, but aren't aware that they are possibly being lured into a trap.

A deliberately unpolished political thriller and a novel spin on the found footage approach.

The cuts between surveillance and home video documentation and a more traditional style in the framing story do much of the satisfying “detective work” for the audience... However, as seedy genre entertainment, LONE WOLF hits the mark

… a keenly intelligent and deeply complex emotional thriller that will spark conversations aplenty.

Keeping the audience at a distance, making us watch powerlessly as Winnie is swept towards tragedy, Ogilvie’s writing and direction do more than simply spin this film towards a devastating climax...

2/5

It's a film of style over substance, which offers an eventual payoff (however predictable) for those willing to see it through, but drags its feet longer than necessary in the process.

Lone Wolf stumbles early and often, ultimately revealing itself to be little more than a rote thriller, and an inert one at that.
