In the action-comedy “Wolfs,” directed by Jon Watts, George Clooney and Brad Pitt star as rival fixers drawn together by chaos in New York City. The film, rated R and currently in theaters, blends humor with thrilling escapades, including car chases and a frantic college student running through the streets in his underwear.
The plot kicks off when district attorney Margaret (Amy Ryan) finds herself in a precarious situation after a night out ends with a dead body in her hotel room. Seeking help, she contacts a fixer (Clooney), only for the hotel manager Pam (Frances McDormand) to intervene and summon her own fixer (Pitt), resulting in a tense standoff.
As the duo navigates their complications, they rekindle their chemistry reminiscent of the “Ocean’s” films, trading witty barbs and gradually developing a mutual respect. The narrative introduces a third element—a bag of heroin and an unexpected twist involving the presumed dead body—which propels the action into a chaotic foot chase led by a college student (Austin Abrams).
While “Wolfs” doesn’t redefine the buddy comedy genre, it offers a light, entertaining experience bolstered by the charismatic performances of Clooney and Pitt. Although the plot may not fully resonate, the film delivers enough humor and action to keep viewers engaged. Its blend of camaraderie and chaos makes it a fitting choice for casual viewing, potentially serving as a go-to for streaming nights.
