SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

tavm This is yet another movie I missed the first time out that I finally got to see online just now. Jack Nicholson encounters a wolf on the road on the way home when his car hits it. He stops to look at the animal laying down when he gets bitten by it. That should tell you where that's going to. Anyway, he's an editor-in-chief at a publishing house where his job is in jeopardy because of it being bought by Christopher Plummer. James Spader is Nicholson's protégé, Michelle Pfeiffer is Plummer's daughter who takes a shine to Jack. And Richard Jenkins is the police detective investigating the killings that happen. Nothing more to say except this was quite a measured take on the horror film as helmed by Mike Nichols who usually did comedies and dramas. No surprise makeup artist Rick Baker was involved considering his previous work on An American Werewolf in London. By the way, here it's referred to as a "demon wolf". Great music score by Ennio Morricone. Nothing more to say except I thoroughly enjoyed Wolf. P.S. Look for David Hyde Pierce, Allison Janney, and David Schwimmer in small roles.

Filipe Neto This film tells the story of Will Randall (Jack Nicholson), a New York publisher with a dying marriage and a job at risk of disappearing. His life changes when he is accidentally bitten by a wolf and begins to feel that he has acquired abilities such as a very good hearing. He will put this to use in order to save his job and defeat his rival, the ambitious Stewart Swinton (James Spader). OK... the script, described like that, looks like a B movie, although the movie does everything it can to avoid that category. There is a romantic subplot between Randall and the boss's daughter, Laura (Michelle Pfeiffer), and another subplot where a crime happens, but it goes almost unnoticed and is never well developed, just a hook for the end.Jack Nicholson does an OK work, using well his physical resemblance to a werewolf, but his transformation is common and special effects are so basic that even my grandmother would do better. Spader was very good and managed to make his character the typical corporate opportunist, who rises by sc...wing his colleagues. We all know someone like that and we usually despise that person, and that helps to make Spade's character truly worthy of our hatred. Pfeiffer is an pretty face on an accessory subplot and her scenes are stretched unnecessarily. In fact, film loses a lot of time with that when a proper development of the crime story could have been more interesting.The film is enjoyable, makes a good essay about the corporate jungle and the struggle for survival in modern city, with obvious parallels between human savagery and wild animal predators. But if we think about it, it's extraordinarily predictable and too long for the kind of movie it is.

Predrag You can never go wrong with this movie's all-star cast and unique storytelling, film-making that reminds me a lot of a classic Stephen King picture. Jack Nicholson performance is well oiled, and does a fairly good job as the subhuman being. Jack's Eastwick co-star Michelle Pfeiffer res him as a aloof and loveless woman who has manages to open her heart to the character and you can definitely see their Eastwick chemistry is not lost. The only thing that misses the mark slightly about the movie is Laura's brother. It is explained a little that he was a borderline schizophrenic and committed suicide.This is an excellent movie. Jack Nicholson has always been one of my favorite actors, and he was the perfect choice for this role. James Spader and Michelle Pfeiffer are captivating as well. Notice Michelle's yellow eyes and heightened sense of smell at the end of the movie. The action is non-stop and the special effects and wolf make-up are first-rate. Watch this movie and have a howling good time along the way.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

tranottoc The Wolf that first bit Jack N was none other than M.P . She targeted him after she first saw him at her dad's company . She was already a wolf and needed a suitable mate. She knew that Jack was coming to visit at a certain time and waited with her pack for his vehicle to arrive on that certain piece of road and faked herself being hit by his vehicle . She then bit him assuring that he , Jack , would become a wolf and later her mate . The key to that is her eyes after the bite and later and also at the end . How come all of you missed that and after all these years . Better watch it again . ac Better watch it again Better watch it again . Better watch it again. Better watch it again and again until you get it .
