Clooney and Pitt's 'Wolfs' Struggles to Recapture 'Ocean's' Magic
The new Jon Watts film features the iconic duo but falls short of their previous chemistry, now streaming on Apple TV+.
- George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite in 'Wolfs,' a crime caper directed by Jon Watts, now available on Apple TV+ after a brief theatrical release.
- The film follows two professional fixers who must work together to solve a complex problem involving a corpse, a fortune in contraband, and a high-stakes chase through New York City.
- Critics agree that while Clooney and Pitt still have on-screen charisma, the movie lacks the energetic and witty dynamic seen in the 'Ocean's' series.
- The film's pacing and exposition have been criticized as clunky, with some reviewers noting that it takes too long to get into gear and fails to maintain high stakes.
- Despite its flaws, 'Wolfs' offers moments of humor and nostalgia, particularly through the performances of its leads and a standout supporting role by Austin Abrams.
