Summary
Reviewers say 'Wolfs' is lauded for Brad Pitt and George Clooney's chemistry, making it a fun, light-hearted action-comedy. The film's humor and banter between the leads are highlights. However, the plot is criticized for being predictable and lacking depth, overly reliant on the stars' charisma. Action sequences are well-executed but not innovative, and supporting characters are underwritten. Despite these flaws, it's enjoyable for fans of the actors and those seeking casual entertainment.
Featured reviews
The movie itself is decent enough.
George and Brad make it very watchable. If these two heavyweights were not in it and it was two average actors it would be nothing special.
But Clooney and Pitt are quality and their comedic skills are not to be underestimated. Well done to both of them. I first saw them together in Burn Without Reading. Also a good film. They work very well together and their chemistry is great. I look forward to seeing them working together again hopefully.
I would recommend seeing the film. It's definitely worth watching. Especially for the performances of the two excellent leading actors.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on here in regards to this movie and I can't for the life of me see why, it was very well paced, had a bit of humour when required and the actors did really well with the material they had, always enjoy Pitt and Clooney together and that again works brilliantly here, the broody Clooney plays off the slightly more humorous carefree Pitt rather well, I hope they do another one in the future or at least another movie together because their chemistry together is always fantastic, Apple TV on the whole get very little wrong and this is another success story, a high 8/10.
Seeing George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite in a movie was a genuine delight. They both play professional fixers forced to work together despite being lone wolves. Both of them continue to have wonderful chemistry, which leads to a relatively entertaining buddy cop sort of movie.
However, the story is very straightforward and has all the expected tropes in these types of stories. The comedy isn't laugh-out-loud funny but can give you a slight smile. When there are action scenes, in which there is very little off, it is serviceable at most.
It is a bit of a shame that with 2 huge stars, all they made was a generic and not-very-memorable movie. Nevertheless, it was still quite enjoyable to watch for a streaming movie.

Make no mistake, without one or both stars the movie most likely, would have been an endurance test. But they're stars for a reason and there never ending banter made us laugh or chuckle quite a bit. Engaging movie that never pretends to be more than it is. We weren't bored for one second watching the two guys give surprising and disapproving looks at one another throughout the movie. Ryan albeit the small role she has is also fun to watch. The kid while being a good actor is a stretch as any woman immediately wanting to bed such a scrawny looking guy, even a middle aged one. Don't look for a movie with some depth; just one that is fun and has engaging stars that are increasingly hard to find.
Margaret (Amy Ryan) is the city DA with a problem. She brought a non-prostitute (Austin Abrams) back to her hotel room and he apparently died. She calls a special number for a fixer (George Clooney). It turns out that the hotel manager had also called in her cleaner (Brad Pitt).
This is some fun with a crime thriller. The meat and potatoes of this is watching Clooney and Pitt playing off of each other. While it's fun, they've done this before and this is old hat for the guys. I would have liked to keep Amy Ryan around, but they do replace her with an Austin Abrams. There is a really fun chase in the middle. For most of the movie, I am trying to figure out the situation like Clooney. In the end, my problem is that I don't understand the whole scheme. The boys seem to yadayada the thing whether we understand it or not. I am not convinced by it. This is nevertheless some good light fun, but it won't be remembered as anything in the future.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter/director Jon Watts told Deadline in November 2024 that he refused to make a sequel after Apple abandoned plans to give Wolfs a wide theatrical release because he no longer trusted them as a creative partner. Watts said, "I showed Apple my final cut of Wolfs early this year. They were extremely enthusiastic about it and immediately commissioned me to start writing a sequel. But their last minute shift from a promised wide theatrical release to a streaming release was a total surprise and made without any explanation or discussion. I wasn't even told about it until less than a week before they announced it to the world. I was completely shocked and asked them to please not include the news that I was writing a sequel. They ignored my request and announced it in their press release anyway, seemingly to create a positive spin to their streaming pivot. And so I quietly returned the money they gave me for the sequel."
- GoofsEarly in the movie, George Clooney opens the backpack unicorn with a knife, leaving the stuffing hanging out. Near the end of the film, the unicorn is intact.
