Watching "Wolfs" I kept asking myself why aren't all George Clooney/Brad Pitt movies this good. In fact, I kept asking myself why aren't all movies this good and what, if anything, could I compare it to. I tried to imagine a gangster comedy scripted by Samuel Beckett and that really only got me about half way there.
Jon Watts' movie is funny, very smart and a terrific vehicle for both Clooney and Pitt. It's also got a great supporting turn from Austin Abrams and is brilliantly photographed, at night, by Larkin Seiple. As with Beckett, the plot matters not a jot; in fact, the less you know about it the better.
You might say it's like a series of surreal sketches so completely off-the-wall that they are both ridiculous and inspired while the fact that it also enticed Francis McDormand to make a cameo (non) appearance says a lot. Don't miss it.
