Wolfs (2024)

Plot of Wolfs: Margaret, who turns out to be a DA, calls a fixer because the young man with whom she has taken a room in an expensive hotel appears to have died in an accident. In no time a guy in black turns up and starts to sort things out, first checking that the guy, clad only in underpants and socks is actually dead. But before he has done much another guy in black turns up, intent on doing the same job. He is there on behalf of the very expensive hotel. And he points out that they are all on video, a small camera visible in the corner. The two guys bicker but eventually get together and remove the body, but before they drive off the guy wakes up and escapes, but eventually they catch him and tackle him on the subject of the bricks of heroin in his backpack. The youth explains that he is doing a favour for a friend, so the two fixers have to decide whether to help him or kill him, generally favouring the idea of helping him, but the choice is not without danger.

Content: No sex or nudity, although it is inferred that Margaret and the youth are preparing to have sex. The guys keep talking about him as if he is a prostitute. There is an extended scene of the young man being chased through the streets. They catch him and question him and thereafter they are faced with the need to face the dangers in the future together. There are shoot outs during which the BMW of one of them is reduced to a wreck. The film takes place over a single night.

A View: It is impossible to ignore the presence of these two superstars who do a good job here with what was essentially a small scale script. It probably took them a bit of an effort to get the 1h 48m out of it, which tended to make individual scenes far too long. But getting to the nub of it, if you have visited this site regularly you probably understand that a score of between six and seven means worth a watch, and anything over seven is a recommendation.

Fun Fact: A sequel was in the works until Apple failed to fulfil their obligation to to give the film a general release.
