George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Wolfs is better as a hang-out movie than a crime thriller.
Pros
- George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s infectious movie star chemistry
- Austin Abrams’ scene-stealing supporting performance
- A fun, welcome sense of humor
Cons
- An underbaked crime plot
- Lackluster action sequences
- A largely lethargic pace
On its surface, Wolfs has the potential to be Ocean’s Thirteen and a Half. It marks a long-awaited screen reunion between Brad Pitt and George Clooney, both of whom channel the same best-friends energy into their dueling performances in the film that they did across their three Ocean’s adventures together. There’s a crime element sprinkled in here, too, as the two actors star opposite each other this time as a pair of assassin-cleaners who are forced to team up…

Wolfs begins, both due to necessity and a lack of urgency on the part of Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts, slowly. Its opening minutes follow Margaret (Amy Ryan), a prominent New York City district attorney, as she scrambles to cover up the bloody aftermath of a hook-up-gone-wrong with a younger man (Austin Abrams)…

For the most part, Watts stays out of Clooney and Pitt’s way. The director brings the same steady, observant style to Wolfs that he did the first two episodes of FX’s The Old Man. This decision works in tandem with Larkin Seiple’s sharp cinematography to give Wolfs a slick aesthetic that, at its worst, feels a bit too polished. Pitt and Clooney’s faces are never lit as lovingly as they deserve, and Watts’ detached approach to action robs Wolfs’ set pieces of whatever juice they might have otherwise had…

In perhaps his most brilliant directorial stroke, Watts wisely gives Austin Abrams enough space to stand out alongside his towering co-stars. The young actor brings a gangly, slapstick, and unexpectedly sweet energy to Wolfs that jolts some life back into it just when it looks like the film is on the verge of coming to a complete standstill…
As an excuse for its stars to collaborate in front of the camera again, Wolfs actually works well as both a reunion tour and a victory lap. Pitt and Clooney have miraculously managed to hold onto their big-screen appeal for nearly 30 straight years now, and Wolfs — for all of its flaws — makes it abundantly clear why.
Wolfs is playing in select theaters and streaming on Apple TV+ now.
Conclusion
In the end, Wolfs serves as a reminder of why Brad Pitt and George Clooney are two of the most beloved performers of the past 30 years. Despite its flaws, the film provides a fun, welcome sense of humor and a chance to spend time with two movie stars at the top of their game.
