Film Review – Wolves

“Wolves” is writer/director David Hayter’s obvious attempt to jump-start a werewolf franchise with superhero overtones. It’s expected work from the co-screenwriter of “Watchmen” and “X2: X-Men United,” who tries to reenergize horror and action with this collection of stunts and heavily made-up actors growling at one another. “Wolves” is ambitious but never completely in Hayter’s control, striving to build a mythology that could be covered in numerous sequels without ever establishing a reason to care about the first installment. It’s loud and violent, but the feature drags more than it should, struggling with iffy performances and lousy visual effects to raise a properly furry screen commotion. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
