If you remember, when Martin Scorsese was awarded Oscar for The Departed, then he asserted on, could that be double checked; and then subsequently, some opinions wrote (if I’m not wrong), sometimes, the much-awaited honour needs to be bestowed sooner, no later, irrespective of the given nomination.
Now, the similar ‘analogy’ goes for the WOLFS, as just alike in the above-mentioned scenario, herein too both Pitt & Clooney fleeting satirical humor, revealing what at a certain age specific people go through, and one can watch for the same single specific reason only where the protagonists constitute these two praised actors, hence, more than watching for the script, one ends up watching merely for the acclaimed protagonists.
As said, script isn’t that different. You’ve a task similar to what seen in John Wick aka The Cleaners, where both contending to be working alone, and now in a situation where the two have to execute a task in a team.
But I’ve certain issues when the genres have been defined. For example, when Joker came, the media projected it as more bloodier heart wrenching action theatrical saga soaked with R rated dark theme. However, mere two or three scenes won’t make a flick -> action or thriller or dark comedy or drama etc, otherwise in such case, every flick constitutes bits & pieces of every genre.
Thus, John Wick was an Action flick. No more No less! LOTR is Fiction/Fantasy. Similarly, WOLFS is a Thriller/Comedy (Not Action) mix, for the same reason above.
All said and done, an OK weekend watch. 😊
