We Got This CoveredDemi PhillipsSep 27, 2024
George Clooney and Brad Pitt fail to bring the big guns out on 'Wolfs,' but are just the right amount of endearing for streaming success. Read full review

NMELou ThomasSep 27, 2024
Despite its superficially dark material, Wolfs isn’t meant to be difficult or challenging, it’s just an enjoyable time hanging out with some chilled, reassuringly handsome gents as they get to the bottom of their not-a-murder mystery. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzSep 24, 2024
It’s a serviceable movie, nothing more but — also important — nothing less. And did we mention it has George Clooney and Brad Pitt? Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentSep 5, 2024
Wolfs has all the practised professionalism of its two anti-heroes, if not quite their spark. But there are few movie stars as straightforwardly enjoyable to watch as Clooney and Pitt. Read full review

The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeSep 4, 2024
There are reminders of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours and Sean Baker’s incoming Palme d’Or winner Anora in that urban chaos, but Watts’s bland style washes out all the grime to leave us with, well, something you might expect from a streaming release. Read full review

Total FilmJames MottramSep 3, 2024
For those looking for an easy-on-the-eye, brain-in-neutral-thriller, Wolfs still hits the spot. Read full review

BBCNicholas BarberSep 1, 2024
This laidback crime caper doesn't have a great deal more to offer, but there is something to be said for seeing the pals from Ocean's Eleven on the same screen again. Read full review

The GuardianXan BrooksSep 1, 2024
The film itself never amounts to much more than a silly, self-satisfied crime caper, but the headline stars look as though they are enjoying themselves and their sense of fun, by and large, is infectious. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleSep 20, 2024
As respectful as writer-director Jon Watts is toward creating opportunities for wise-ass capering, the movie is curiously both a labored and lax attempt at restoring that luster. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla DargisSep 19, 2024
The movie is a trifle, and it knows it. Mostly, though, Wolfs, written and directed by Jon Watts, is an excuse for its two leads to riff on their own personas, which can be faintly amusing and certainly watchable but also insufferably smug. It’s insufferable a lot. Read full review

LooperAudrey FoxSep 2, 2024
George Clooney and Brad Pitt have wonderful chemistry together, as always, and they make sense as two wily, slightly over-the-hill fixers, but Wolfs itself is relatively uninspired. Read full review

Slant MagazineGregory NussenSep 1, 2024
The witty repartee between Clooney and Pitt feels like the only thing holding the film together. Read full review

The Film StageLuke HicksSep 1, 2024
The movie doesn’t have much to offer by way of score, composition, camera movement, sound design, style, lighting, production design, etc. At least there will be some narrative to discover, and a pleasure in lead performers still harmoniously attuned to one another despite the script’s hobbles.

The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeSep 29, 2024
A film that erases itself so thoroughly from your memory, it’s almost as if Pitt and Clooney had performed one of their bespoke clean-up services on your brain. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongSep 26, 2024
While the mysterious finer details of Clooney and Pitt’s characters are willfully obscured on account of their guarded professionalism, it’s a shame that the film paints in such broad strokes more widely, as this doesn’t leave much room for substantial character development or emotional investment.

IGNSiddhant AdlakhaSep 1, 2024
The premise may be intriguing, but the repetitive approach and nearly identical lead characters renders the Ocean's duo without their signature chemistry and strands them in a distractingly underpopulated criminal underworld. Read full review

The TimesKevin MaherSep 1, 2024
A painfully derivative buddy movie. Read full review
