Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
GDClyde Wolves of Wall Street has an interesting concept. But, that is the only interesting element in this movie.Here a Wall Street wanna-be fresh out of school and with no luck finding a position elsewhere joins a highly successful all-male Wall Street Firm whose initiation consists of transforming the new members into werewolves.Now a Wall Street werewolf may be a new concept.The concept that a werewolf is just a person in dark lighting, some blue make-up who catches his victims with his "odor" while novel is AWFUL. The reason it wasn't tried before is that it doesn't work.The werewolves in the film are supposed to be completely irresistible to women, but there is hardly any evidence of this in the film. They cut in and out repeatedly of the two or so scenes of anything remotely erotic. And, I stress REMOTELY.These werewolves are too "suave" to hunt or chase their prey. They just approach their intended victim and let their exuding natural pheromones do the rest. And other than a wet kiss on the victims' thigh, there doesn't seems to be much other damage.I did learn this though: with pheromones, a designer suit and just the right "I'm too hot for you" glance, a werewolf can even "convert" a lesbian. But, in this case, a "lesbian" is a woman the werewolf can't get any vibes from. Sounds like the guy who gets rejected at the bar!Nothing scary... No suspense... No special effects... No sex...These wolves don't even have canine teeth! If you want to see male models parading in fine suits looking smug, you will be quite pleased. The entire budget seems to be spent on clothes and bad actors, in that order.Do yourself a favor ... just pass.
troodon ...since it had a complete absense of werewolves in it, I don't think it actually qualifies as a werewolf movie. Not only do you not see any in the entire course of the movie, the word "werewolf" isn't even metioned. The entire movie seemed to me like they were playing Taboo, and you had to suggest werewolves without showing or saying anything that directly describes or displays them. Anyway...Half the movie is montages of scenes cut from the same movie. During the main character's "transformation" scene (which looks more like someone having a heart attack than transforming into a werewolf) they constantly cut to the moon over Manhattan (it's ALWAYS the full moon in this movie, despite the fact it supposedly takes place over more than a week) and a earler shot of him in sunglasses and a beret (ooh! scary...). There's almost no continuous action, ever... it never goes more than 5 minutes without one of these montages.It is somewhat original though, will give you that. It avoids most of the overused cliches in werewolf movies. The trouble is that after removing those, nothing was put in their place. It's like removing stains from clothes by cutting the fabric the stains are on completely off. Sure, now there's no stains, but it's full of holes now... that's what this movie is.
jdb-4 If you're going to make a movie about werewolves or vampires someone should actually turn into one. It would have been a good low-budget movie with a different hook but they failed to make a monster. Maybe it was a budget thing, I've been there. ADVISE: If you don't have enough money to do it right, don't do it!
Dexter TCN OK...first thing: Eric Roberts is in this, so that should ring alarm bells.2nd thing: This is a werewolf film but you won't see anything hairier than some designer stubble. Absolutely no werewolves here. In fact apart from a (much repeated) gratuitous breast shot this film struggles to make its 15 certificate in any sense. In fact it mostly just doesn't make sense anyway.3rd thing: scariest of all, all the leading men seem to wear the same underpants when they strip off. I found this extremely un-nerving.The only thing worse than the acting is the plot. A barmaid takes out 3 werewolves in about 3 seconds with...a pen. The moon is so close to Wall St that you expect it to come crashing down. Said moon is ALWAYS in the same place and ALWAYS full. (Handy for werewolves I suppose)This movie struck me as being very homo-erotic (Eric Roberts, what can you say).Avoid or watch only when wasted for fun.All in all this is the 2nd worst film I have seen this year.(Reign of Darkness in case you ask)
