The pair brings Ocean’s-style movie-star chemistry to Jon Watts’s clever thriller.
But they couldn’t stay apart forever. Thus Wolfs, a new crime comedy that premiered here at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday. Written and directed by Jon Watts —who made the last three Spider-Man movies and, more relevantly, the clever low-budget thriller Cop Car—the film is an amiable lark, more of a saunter than a dash through wintry, nighttime New York City. As a pair of rival underworld fixers, Clooney and Pitt invert their Ocean’s dynamic.
Which, it must be said, is something of the fourth main character in the film. Watts is a local, and he films his town with affection and fresh perspective. He’s found lots of interesting locations—an outer-borough banquet hall, the forlorn Brighton Beach boardwalk, neon-lit Chinatown—and shot them lushly. A soft and steady snow falls throughout the film, adding a sense of peace and hush to offset the garrulous antics.
