Apple TV+’s Wolfs Review: George Clooney And Brad Pitt’s Dramedy Of Cleaners Is An Effortless Joyride

Apple TV+’s Wolfs Review: George Clooney And Brad Pitt’s Dramedy Of Cleaners Is An Effortless Joyride

After directing an entire trilogy of Spider Man movies for Marvel, writer/director Jon Watts seemed to have needed a well-deserved break from costumed heroics. Opting to make his new Apple TV+ crime drama Wolf instead of the comic book franchise’s take on Fantastic FourWatts has returned to his non-costumed hero roots. That said, he hasn’t gone total indie, as the man behind Clown and Cop Car now has stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt in front of the camera, putting the co-stars through one wild night of New York-set mayhem.

Wolf isn’t a terribly complicated movie, as two fixers – simply known as “Pam’s Man” (Brad Pitt) and “Margaret’s Man” (George Clooney) – show up at the same would-be crime scene to do what they do best. Reminiscent of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours and Benny and Josh Safdie’s Good Timewhat’s supposed to play out like another night becomes a competition to see if either of the bickering professionals can make it to the morning. Complicating things further is the presence of “Kid” (Austin Abrams), a mysterious character who begins Wolf as the clean up job, but surprisingly turns into a potential ally.
