The Wolf in Us All
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!
A movie with a modest bite
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."
Intelligent horror film/character study
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.
