• What is wrong with us ?

  
  By ABS6VJX1KCAW4 on 2002-11-04
  1. What did I like about it ?
  NOTHING !
  2. What I didn't like about it ?
  The fact that it had only 22 reviews . What is wrong with us ? Very good director , Mike Nichols ( Regarding Henry , Working Girl , Silkwood , The Birdcage , The Graduate ... ). We already know , he is good , very unpredicteble and different ( when he wants to ). Jack Nicholson , as a lead ? It should be not just a horrow film , should be dipper and better . Michelle Pfeiffer ? Oh , Boy ! They really spend MONEY to make it . It have to be good . Was it ? YES ! How fast do we forget good films ? Only 22 reviews ? Even my book get more than that ! Not fear ( for this film ).
  Why would you go to this film and expect a regular horrow flick ? I allways check the director and the actors first . And I do like ( sometimes ) good scary " staff ". If you want to get really scary ? Go to upper Manhattan at night with Armany siut on . Or go to Sierra Vista at night ( in Las Vegas ), pretending to be a tourist , returning to hotel from a shopping in Boulevard Mall . It will be scary , trust me .
  3. What do I love about this film ?
  Exellent selection of every actor for every role . The changes of caracters , unpredictebility of most of them .
  The slight details which tell us so much .
  The exellent acting , that made me forget - they are just actors acting .
  The story itself . The GIFT in some people is a gift ... in some ... Like a nuclear power ... only one way to find out . And I don't want to .
  A dream of something different , just for a moment , please ... can I keep it now ? ... forever , please ?
  Much more than kind of , suppose to ,horrow movie .
  4. What it is about ?
  Read other few reviews , some good reviewers did very good job , and I don't want to repead them .
  
  

• Jack the wolf

  
  By A35YWA2V4QHOJ3 on 2004-12-10
  Jack Nicholson plays a werewolf, and he's the most natural werewolf since Boris Karloff. James Spader plays a weasel and he is equally adept in that role. Rounding off this impressive ensemble cast (for a werewolf movie) are Christopher Plummer as a man with altogether too much wealth and power, and Michelle Pfeiffer as his lovely daughter.
  
  Fans of werewolf movies may be surprised at the timbre of this particular tale. The whole story is very surreal and has an everpresent dream-like feel to it. The special effects of werewolves & transformation are actually pretty scarce. The film instead mainly focuses on the psychological metamorphosis of man turning into beast.
  
  Perhaps most jolting to viewers of WW movies is the body count. Or, should I say, the lack thereof. If you're looking for a WW movie that has scene after scene of poor chaps being mauled, this one may not be for you.
  
  This is a well done film if you're looking for a more cerebral type of WW film than the normal fare. As I mentioned, the cast is also a higher calibre than normal. If ever there was a WW story that had a haunting elegance to it, this just might be it.
  
  

• Better than you think...until near the end.

  
  By A2PZIJT94UREC0 on 1998-10-10
  "Wolf" is a very good movie until near the end. The story is more complex, and really has more to do with relationships, office politics, and the nature of man, than the slow transformation of Jack into a four-legged beast.

  Michelle Pfiefer is excellent as a jaded woman who has learned not to trust men. Her relationship with Jack (which I would normally find hard to believe) works very well.

  The movie overall doesn't dumb itself down with the whole, "Gee, maybe you are turning into a werewolf" question. They tackle that issue with surpizing humor and realism.

  The only serious flaws in the movie are these: 1) The inevitable werewolf duel at the end brings the movie down from its above-doing-cheesy-werewolf schtick, to something you'd expect from Lon Chaney Jr. 2) The werewolves don't look as real as you would hope for with the lastest special effects. You can practically sense the electronic parts going through their range of motion in one howling wolf scene.

  Still, those flaws are about 10 minutes of this otherwise excellent film. If you can forgive it those two items, it's a keeper.

  If you're a serious Michelle Pfeifer fan, this movie should be in your collection, right next to "Ladyhawke" and "Batman Returns". END
  
  

• Intelligent horror film/character study

  
  By A3HM5G9IV1FTFP on 2003-10-18
  This is an interesting film, because it's partly a character study of a tired, middle aged publisher and partly a horror film about werewolves. Jack Nicholson plays a publisher about to lose his job to his friend and protege, who also happens to be sleeping with his wife. He seems too worn out to put up much of a fight, until he is bitten by a dying wolf, and begins to feel as if he has taken on its spirit. He also falls for the incredibly beautiful daughter of his boss (Michelle Pfeiffer). This movie has top notch acting, an intriuging story and a cool ending. I recommend it.
  
  

• One of Top Two Werewolf Movies

  
  By A1EQGFZPJ4V24X on 2006-09-07
  This is one of the two best werewolf movies - the other being "An American Werewolf in London." Starring Jack Nicholson, Michele Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer and James Spader, it is directed with a sure hand by Mike Nichols.
  
  It's intelligent, riveting, at times scary and realistic in its portrayal of the human concerns of people facing life and the super-natural. The acting is superb.
  
  Definitely a worthwhile movie
  
  
• It is a wonderful movie.
  By on 1999-03-11
  Jack Nicholson is wonderful. In my opinion this movie is the best werewolf movie I've seen because it truthfully portrays the werewolf. It shows love, passion, and is funny in some parts. If you love the myth of the werewolf you'll love this movie!
  
  
• A movie with a modest bite
  By A2QRB6L1MCJ53G on 2001-02-11
  Will Randall (Jack Nicholson) is the senior editor of a big book company and his life isn't as great as he would like it to be. However, things drastically change, and mostly improve, for Will after he is bitten by a mean looking wolf. Will soon finds out that he is changing more and more every day and that he is becoming like a wolf. Before long, he has better vision, hearing, and a spectacular sense of smell, but not everything has improved for Mr. Randall. Since he is now a lot more like a wolf, animals are now afraid of him and he becomes a murderer, just by following his wolf instincts. Will Mr. Randall find out what he's becoming, and is there a way to stop it?

  "Wolf" is a pretty good movie. The makeup and the special effects in the movie aren't some of the best, but they get the job done. Jack Nicholson does a good job of acting and so does Michelle Pfeiffer as Will's new love interest. "Wolf" is a moderately exciting movie, it doesn't have as much blood and gore as you would expect it to have. It also doesn't have as much action as I would've liked to have seen, but it was still an entertaining movie and I recommend anybody who likes horror movies to at least watch "Wolf."
  
  

• Don't cry wolf
  By AEF8X4ECM4Q3S on 1999-12-24
  Book editor is bitten by a werewolf after hitting in the road and his senses improve as well as he develops a thirst for killing things. Eventually moving onto people. Very sharply on target and tame for it's type with good make-up effects that almost influence the viewer to believe the characters ARE wolves. David Schwimmer has a cameo as a cop.
  
  
• The Wolf in Us All
  By ANLI880WSRQ1P on 2001-07-23
  Who wouldn't love a movie with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and James Spader? I totally enjoyed this movie!Ok, as a huge horror fan, I liked the setting. A publishing house in the city. Unique and what better place than the corporate world for 'cut-throat' wolf behavior?The beginning is always the same--man gets bit by wolf, man becomes wolf and an ending. So, what makes this different? The storytelling.This movie has interesting visuals that aren't just blood and gore. The viewer is focused on the 'how' and not the 'kill'. Jack is wonderful in his portrayal of a man discovering the wolf inside. Maybe it has always been there?Michelle Pfeiffer plays the intriguing character of the Rich Boss's daughter who is naturally drawn to the man her father despises.It's the details that make this movie. The viewer is in the position of Pfeiffer's character and learns along with her. The story doesn't rely on misgivings but rather on the essence of a wolf.The ending leaves the viewer with a wolfy grin. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end because it did what all good movies do--let me become part of the movie and left me wanting more. Discover the sure signs that a wolf lurks at your workplace-- by watching this flick!
  
  
• Nicholson must be a wolf in real life...
  By A1TWTULVD6F22O on 2001-11-04
  despite less than startling special effects, he makes you believe in his transformation simply by looking as a wolf throughout, whether in human attire and character, or not. The scenes of the publishing house he works for as a Senior Editor on his way down the ladder are second to none. You can believe it was his fiefdom for many, many years. He wears his betrayal (by his wife and protege (Nelligan and Spader) with just the right element of disbelief and doom.

  Mike Nichols had the chance to work with a very talented cast, and special effects (slow mo and the final fight scene - just mediocre) and music notwithstanding, gives us a credible modern horror story/fairy tale. Michelle Pfeiffer is talented and believable as Nicholson's new love, David Hyde Pierce remarkably likeable as his loyal associate. Jack's revenge on the character
  we all love to hate - James Spader in a sniveling, arrogant role
  (what type of role can he not play well?) is relished by the viewer.

  A little of the mystic, a little horror, a little cutthroat office politics, the richness of the interior of the publishing house and the seedy charm of the Mayflower, the use of Central Park one more time as the scene of unspeakable goings on at night...well, it's all here and it's all good.

  Ignored by the movie-going public, panned by most critics, "Wolf"
  will entertain you and make you wonder why you ever listen to critics, anyway!
  
  

• I want my star back
  By A2DVT3AML8IWSS on 2002-01-28
  The star selection thingy owes me one star, because I shouldn't have had to give this movie anything except this poor review. See I want to be a cowboy. I also want to be in a movie where I'm a Navy SEAL, who used to play pro ball, but decided to kill zombies instead. That is to say, there are a lot of things in life that I just can't do. Mr. Nicholson, please stay out of my horror genre!

  Oh and that anyone considers this movie to be a horror film. For the love of...look, horror has to do with horrid and horrible. This is a movie that deals with the unfortunate. Unfortunately Jack's character is turning into a werewolf. Yeah that's too bad, man go get a job working at the zoo so that when you fully transform you'll already be in a place that can care for your needs.

  If you love these two actors, then see the movie. If you love horror films don't bother.
  
  

• Nice story... certainly not horror!
  By A1B350OHYHQTGX on 2002-06-13
  First, yes this is a nice movie and worth seeing! If you are expecting horror and suspense look somewhere else but if you are looking for a nice story, this one is nice.

  Both Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer are great actors. and once I saw the DVD I couldn't resist not renting it. Back in the 80s so many movies were made about people turning into wolves. They were all meant to be scary movies. But this one is different... it tells a nice story. You may call it a light love story or drama if you like. But I found this movie to be entertaining enough.

  There are few weak points though... such as solving the murder cases at the end of the movie! But still it's nice.
  
  

• 0 STARS: Utter trash.
  By A3FUBUJAIGM87T on 2005-05-11
  Jack Nicholson ought to be ashamed of himself for doing such trash as this movie called "Wolf". One of the reasons that this movie fails is because it so unconventional and nontraditional in werewolf lore. The real bottom line on this movie is that it is unbelievably boring from a horror movie fan's perspective. I don't know why, but some people call this movie a horror movie, but I just call it rubbish.
  
  
• Oh Jack!...You're Such An Animal!
  By A2ZSC81MXLBELX on 2005-09-21
  This review refers to "Wolf"(VHS edition)...
  
  Howling fun with Jack Nicholson, as he clearly marks his territory in "Wolf" A modern take on the wolfman lore, and a thriller/horror film that makes me jump even though I have seen it several times and already know what's coming up.
  
  Will Randall, Editor in Chief of a huge book publishing firm, is an all around nice guy. So nice in fact, that when he hits a wolf on a dark snowy night, on the highway, he tries to move the dead animal off the road. But, get ready to jump, the wolf is very much alive, bites our guy and heads off into the woods to join his pack.
  
  Randall becomes a new man as he slowly goes through the biggest change of life he'll ever know! His senses become heightened, his sleep habits change, he tends to prowl the streets of New York, and the more suitable terrain of Central Park at night,other animals fear him, he's got a new edge to his personality, and yes things are really getting a bit hairy, as he often wakes with blood on his hands and clothes.
  
  Could our guy be responsible for some vicious murders? Can the girl he has fallen for(Michelle Pfeiffer), keep this guy home at nights? Will Jack be doomed to the animal kingdom forever?
  It's a fabulous thrill finding out, as Nicholson pulls off his turn at a wolfman wonderfully, in that great Jack style!
  
  This film might not have had the punch it did, without the great cast and crew. Directed by Mike Nichols, these seasoned and talented actors take us on a real thrill ride. Michelle Pfeiffer, as the bad girl who falls for Will the Wolf, James Spader, you'll love to hate him as Will's nemesis, Kate Nelligan, the unfaithful wife(big mistake!), Christopher Plummer, the boss who is subject to the "new" Will's wrath, and Om Puri, the expert on folklore of the wolf, will all have you glued to the film.There are some great shots of New York, and add Ennio Morricone's award winning music to the mix and you are in for a fine horror film.
  
  To sum up, here's a great quote from the film:
  
  Mary:(Will's secretary)"Is the worm turning, Mr. Randall?"
  Will Randall: The worm has turned and it is now packing an Uzi, Mary.
  
  Good stuff...get the popcorn poppin and enjoy....Laurie

• TOP DRAWER WEREWOLF FILM...
  By A1L43KWWR05PCS on 2006-05-10
  This is a thinking person's werewolf movie. Well directed by Mike Nichols, it features a stellar cast who give excellent performances. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, and David Hyde Pierce all contribute to the successful execution of this sophisticated and subtle horror film. As an added bonus, those of you who are devotees of the TV series, "Friends", should look for David Schwimmer's cameo appearance in the film.
  
  Jack Nicholson plays a middle aged, married, senior book editor for a publishing company. Driving home at night from a business trip in New England, he hits an animal on the road. When he gets out of his car to check on the condition of the animal, he discovers it to be a wolf. What happens next will change the course of his life forever.
  
  When Jack gets back to his office, he is feeling the after effects of his interaction with the wolf. He is also concerned about his job, as his publishing house has been taken over by Christopher Plummer. Jack initially plays his character as a somewhat laid back, nice guy, a good man who doesn't see the knife being plunged into his back by his young, ambition driven underling, played with obsequious perfection by James Spader, until it is too late. Publishing is, indeed, a dog eat dog world.
  
  Betrayed by his underling who has been given his job, Jack finds himself undergoing a subtle, physical metamorphosis. He no longer needs reading glasses, his hearing is extremely acute, and he has a keen, very keen, sense of smell. It is these enhanced senses that lead him to discover that his wife, well played by Kate Nelligan, has shockingly betrayed his love and devotion, causing him to leave her. It is a betrayal that is to have dire consequences for her.
  
  Finding himself more robust and aggressive, literally a new man, Jack goes on the attack and, and with the aid of his loyal underling, played to perfection by David Hyde Pierce, gets his job back. He aggressively asserts himself with Spader and lets him know, in no uncertain terms, who is top dog. There is a memorable scene to this effect. In the process of regaining his life, Jack falls in love with the boss's beautiful daughter, played with gritty charm by Michelle Pfeiffer, and she with him.
  
  Still, Jack finds himself battling his inner demons over his change. The transformation of Jack is subtle, and there is very lttle use of special effects to enhance his metamorphosis. Jack is often able to convey to the viewer what he is undergoing with a flick of the eyebrow, a twitch of the nose, a curl of the lips. It is a wonderful piece of acting and a tribute to the power of suggestion.
  
  Certain events transpire that make Jack fear that his transformation will result in injury to Michelle. She eventually buys into his fear, misinterpreting certain events that take place. What he and she ultimately discover is that they both, in fact, have a great deal to fear, but that their initial fear was misplaced. Look to a great finale.
  
  If you are the type of horror film fan who likes excessive gore, as well as many high tech, special effects, this is not the film for you, as there is very little of that in this film. This is a subtle, multi-layered, symbolic type of horror film that will leave the viewer analyzing what they just saw. It is simply a great werewolf film.
  
  
• Wolf
  By A298KZF4QW9TYD on 2006-06-30
  I love this film! Wonderful preformances from Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfiffer! Finnaly a werewolf movie that shows us the feelings behind the bitten not just some blood lust, and paints them "as good as the man they've entered."
  Great film!
  
  
• Jack the big bad wolf has deffently marked his territory in Hollywood!
  By AAPSQFCWTYTK4 on 2007-06-05
  This movie is awesome, it's like a roller Coster ride from start to finish. I really liked how he looked as the new wolfman for a new up to date version. James Spader goes through some changes as well? That's the best part, I am not going to give away. This movie takes the whole werewolf legend to a new level. It also gives you a good reference to how we as individuals have to deal with in everyday life situations, dealing with work and relationships in our personal lives, and how some people can be very diseveing and somethings you thought you knew them but you were wrong, and when things were going right until an unexcpected change in your life changes everything. That's what Nicholson's character as a well mannered book editor named Will Randle. He has a good head on his shoulders untill after driving home one night from a business trip changes his whole life forever. That's all I am going to tell you for now. The rest is for you to watch for yourselves. This is a good thinking movie as well as a pychologic thriller. It's a good werewolf movie without so much blood but has a well deserved written story line. It's got it twist and turns. Trust me this movie is worth seeing over and over. Then you will be howling all night...
  
  
• Only Nicholson could pull this off!
  By A2EQRK21C2WFI6 on 1999-02-25
  Generally a real good flick, but the slow motion effects detract from the whole thing. Jack Nicholson steals the show...hardly any makeup was needed to give him "the look"! Good acting, good story line, fair special effects. A werewolf movie that actually has a happy ending!
  
  
• A Great Werewolf Movie!
  By on 2001-09-18
  As werewolf movies go, this is.......well, just as John Stanley said, it's "A howl of a good film!" And it is, with great special effects and great acting. Okay, so it's the same old story: man gets bitten by wolf, strange things start to happen, girlfriend gets freaked out, etc. But other than that, it's pretty original, like the great battle scene at the end, werewolf vs. werewolf (which is my favorite scene). The ending was a little disappointing, though, but only a little bit. Not very scary, but still a very good horror movie!
  
  
• The Epitome of High Class Horror.
  By AK2AQIULQDFS5 on 2001-12-20
  Like "Mary Reilly" and "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein", "Wolf" is an Underrated, High Class Horror film that takes a Classic tale and gives it a little Spin. Jack Nicholson gives a Crazed Performance up there with "The Shining" and Mike Nichols Directing is Subtle enough to please Critics, while also being Strong enough to Satisfy Horror fans.
  
  
• Wicked good fun!
  By A1W4WEH61TSKFT on 2003-01-28
  Imaging the weirdest of all actor getting even weirder. That's what happenes when Jack Nicholson hits a large black animal and is bitten when he attempts to remove it from the road.
  I love this movie as it shows the strength and rejuvination which comes with the werewolf's bite. Jack Nicholson is old but has an OK job, he has a cheating wife, and a new nose which smells a drop of tequilla in a cup of coffee on your breath.
  He learns more of his internal demon wolf as the moon cycles. He also finds a way of controling his complete change, but when a new woman in his life is in danger from a rival wolf he must decide if he really wants to.
  
  
• A Howl of a Good Movie
  By A3KY68OTSNHM3G on 2004-09-30
  Jack Nicholson stars in this frighteningly good movie as Will Randall, an editor in chief of a book publishing company. The opening scene shows Will driving along an isolated strech of snowy road when suddenly a wolf bolts out in front of his car. The car strikes the wolf, and Will stops to investigate. The wolf, seemingly dead but very much alive, bites Will on the hand.
  
  Will has been demoted in his company; forced to choose between a less desireable position or no job at all. Stewart Swinton, played by James Spader, has received Will's old position.
  
  Meanwhile, Will is undergoing physical changes, such as a heightened sense of smell and hearing, all caused by the wolf's bite. With his heightened sense of smell, he notices a strange smelling cologne on his wife's clothes. He then discovers that his wife is having an affair with Stewart.
  
  Soon, Will is becoming involved in a new relationship of his own with Laura Alden (Michelle Pfeiffer). Laura also happens to be the daughter of Raymond Alden, his former boss, played by Christopher Plummer. As Will and Laura begin to get close, Will begins to show symptoms of being taken over by the spirit of the wolf. As the moon rises, Will decides to go outside and is soon chasing down deer. However, the following morning, Will is completely unaware of what happened the night before. He later learns from an old wise man that the wolf grows inside the man until the first full moon, then the wolf consumes him. Will is given an amulet to wear around his neck to keep the wolf spirits at bay.
  
  The realization that he is turning into a wolf finally begins to sink in, and Will handcuffs himself to a radiator in his hotel room to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else. He's already killed a gang member and he's afraid he may harm Laura, who's become very attracted to him.
  
  A police detective comes to Will's room to tell him that his wife has been murdered. Immediately, Will suspects that he did it while under the influence of the wolf.
  
  After arriving back at Laura's house, Will is locked in the barn to keep him from hurting anyone else when the moon comes out. Laura then goes to the police station to give a statement. When she arrives at the station, Stewart is there, and mysteriously, he's displaying the same wolf traits as Will. It seems that somehow during an earlier confrontation, Will must have somehow bit Stewart. Now Stewart, after losing his newly-gained position back to Will, is out for revenge against him. Which wolf will win?
  
  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.
  
  
• A movie where the wolf is a good person (for once)
  By A2SXUINNJD8R25 on 2004-10-13
  Jack Nicholson delivers wonderfully in this movie- in fact, Michelle Pfiffer does too! Alas the only that doesn't deliver in the end is the movie itself. It has incredible spoilers and great acting, and a very origanal plot- but when it comes down to it I would not recommend watching it a second time. You start asking "Why is this happening?" or "Who scripted this scene?" It's a lot choppier and makes little sence once you take the time to look at it from a broader point of view. If Jack Nicholson does little massacuring in this film as well, so if your here to look for gore, look elsewhere. There are some creepy (and some disturbing) images, like when he pulls someone elses fingers from his pocket. Sadly fingers have bones in them, and these bonce like... well, rubber (what they're made out of). A good film for Werewolf lovers and fans of the stars, but people looking for meaning should look elsewhere, unless they themselves are going through exactly the same thing.
  
  
• HOWLING GOOD MOVIE
  By A3LZGLA88K0LA0 on 2005-11-07
  Who ever would have thought director Mike Nichols and stars Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer would participate in a werewolf movie? WOLF is a howling good movie, though, filled with typical werewolf scares and a penetrating script and sharp performances. Nicholson is perfect as a mealy-mouthed senior editor who is booted by boss Christopher Plummer in favor of his protege, the smarmy James Spader (excellent in his typical style). At the beginning of the film, in an eerily staged sequence, Jack is bitten by a wolf that he has just hit with his Volvo. He notices some changes, particularly in his new aggressive behavior, not to mention an enhanced sense of smell and hearing. Wife Kate Nelligan is having an affair with Spader and this sparks some interesting consequences. A couple of plot twists occur, one we should have seen coming and the other a little more ambiguous, but sensible anyhow.
  WOLF is a classy horror film, and notoriously overlooked, but it's a good one!
  
  
• Severely Underrated and Intelligent Film
  By A362Z612DXNUY7 on 2005-12-31
  This is one of my personal favorite movies, and I am one of the many who think that it is severly underrated. This is not exactly your conventional horror film, it is way more itelligent, symbolic, and well-written than that. As a matter of fact, I will go so far as to say that it is not a horror film; but an intelligent and entertaining love story/life crisis/dark comedy/satire/drama about corporate power (werewolfism symbolising power).
  
  (On the DVD)
  This is a generally good DVD with both widescreen and fullscreen presentations with good picture (save for some MINOR edge enhancement, some MINOR compression, and NOT-SO-MINOR grain), and VERY good sound (especially the 5.1). BUT (major BUT)
  THERE ARE NO EXTRAS!!!! Can we say SPECIAL EDITION, people? Now, my perfect idea for a special edition of this film is as follows:
  -2 discs, both DUAL LAYERED
  -Widescreen on disc one/Fullscreen on disc two (with newer,less grainy transfers)
  -Two Audio commentaries on disc one; one on acting with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfiffer, James Spader, and Christopher Plummer; the other is a director's commentary with Mike Nichols
  -Two Documentaries, one on disc one about the preproduction and scripting of the film and the acting; the other on disc two about the filmmaking process through the debut
  -Behind the scenes photo gallery
  -AC-3 encoded DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1 sound
  -New interviews with cast and crew
  That is what I think would make a perfect special edition for this DVD. How about you?
  
  
• a good thriller
  By ARFLESOGLXAFD on 2006-01-14
  The horror genre and werewolf movies have never been my favorites, but I really loved this movie. They keep you guessing in this film, and it is full of suspense. Of course Jack Nicholsen does a great job playing a wolfman, but his best and most compelling scenes are when he's (relatively) normal and sitting around thinking about what he may have done. Michelle Pfeifer is also excellent, and I liked seeing Ross from Friends (David Schwimmer I think) playing a NY cop, even if it was for just a few moments. I recommend this movie for Nicholsen fans and those who like horror movies or suspense.
  
  
• A timeless legend !
  By A16CZRQL23NOIW on 2006-07-14
  The well known legend of the werewolf has now been translated and adapted for the urban life; when a genteel book editor has been bitten by a wolf and some somber events begin to show through his messed personal crisis; excellent pretext to develop an ambitious movie that it might result too slow in case you just only expect a horror film. But there is so much to seek beneath the script.
  
  Formidable cast with Nicholson at the top, flanked by Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer and James Spader, under the secure directorial hand of Mike Nichols.
  
  
  
• JACK MAKES WOLF GREAT WHEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN OTHERWISE ABYSMALLY AVERAGE MOVIE INTO
  By A1SDPA1J98UP4L on 2007-04-16
  
  Wolf has a movie of the week quality to it. The characters are very one demensional and to say Jack's immense talents were woefully under used in WOLF is the kind of understatment to boggle the minds of sick and sane alike. That said Wolf is an enjoyable movie, with way too little werewolf action for my heart. The werewolf scenes were all too breif. The lighting was so bad in Wolf because, better lighting would have revealed the dime store special effects and prostetics used in the filming.
  
  Jack makes this movie work because, he is convincing as a lycanthrope. There is something that creeps you out about Jack being a werewolf that he invests in the character just enough to make you buy in to the paper thin plot of WOLF! I won't lie. I enjoyed WOLF immensely which is why I gave it 4 stars. I know many of my Lycanthope loving purest's pan the movie for being so average and in some ways sub-par and I hear you brothers and sisters but. I have seen some far worse werewolf movies than this one. Wolves of Wall Streel leaps right to mind for one of the worst werewolf films.
  
  WOLF is not bad. WOLF was so refreshing because it protrayed a werewolf as a force of good for once and that earned it four stars from my amazon.com den. Wolf keeps the Werewolf genre' alive and does so with more class than most these days. I added WOLF to my growing werewolf collection a long time ago and never regretted it for a moment.

  Movie is fine, but the DVD does not have english close caption subtitles as stated in the advertising and on the cover. Don't buy if you need that feature.
