Product ReviewsWolf (DVD, 1997, Closed Captioned)

Warewolf with a twist

Jack Nickolson gives a great performance which is low on special effects and high on emotion. New take on an old theme that humanizes the characters. The idea of heightened senses and new found confidence. The premise that the one infected by the wolf not by his bite, but also by passion. I enjoyed this film when I first saw it and really wanted to add it to my collection. Great cast Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader and Christopher Plummer.Read full review...

A gem of the werewolf genre . . . don't miss

None other than the great Mike Nichols directed this beautifully-scripted, deftly-acted 1990s spin on the classic werewolf story. Jack Nicholson is at his urbane best as soon-to-be-ousted publisher Will Randall, for whom taste and integrity have become a liabilty. After receiving the bite of an enormous black wolf, however, Will's senses (and his fortunes) begin to improve exponentially, triggering a series of chilling encounters. Michelle Pfeiffer, the prickly daughter of Will's new mogul boss, is at once drawn to Will's increasingly odd behavior.

James Spader is a pure delight as the transparent, sychophantic usurper Stuart Swinton who schemes to steal Will's job, his wife, his newfound love and in the end, his life. Their final conflict is both memorable and satisfying.

Good Movie

Classic Movie. So Many versions of the Wolf Man. In this particular, one, The Wolf Man;s Face, is devoid of excessive Special Effects. The Acting is Spot On.

Well developed Characters making a very well done movie 4/5 Stars ****

anything that Jack Nicholson is in is usually always good...and in this movie he doesn't disappoint...this movie get right into it from the start...excellent cast...I wish there was more from the Kate Nelligan's Character, I really enjoy her as an actress especially in the 1979 Dracula...Michelle had a solid performance...and I am not a James Spader fan...but he too had a solid performance on this one...and thumbs up to Christopher Plummer...the support cast on this one was good too except the detective and his partner in this one...Rick Baker's Make up Effects for this movie was BANG on...the werewolf look was not over done and was a lot more relaxed compared to other werewolf movies, but came across very effective...it was all in the EYES with this movie...the animatronics on the wolves could of been done better they came across looking to Disney like that is why i did not give this movie a 5 star... but well written with a strong story line...if Mike Nichols made a sequel to this I would definitely go see 4**** Stars out of 5 on this oneRead full review...

Jack is Back!~And he is Great in this One!~Must See!!!!

One of the few films to deal with the werewolf syndrome, Nicholson plays an excelent role as he wreaks total terror as only he can do upon the ever-beautiful Michelle Pfeifer. Great film for all the horror/science fiction buffs, well played and directed, with edge-of-the-seat suspense, and a plot with many surprise twists and turns. Reccomended watching during full moon! Two-Thumbs-Up! 5 STARS*****Read full review...

Wolf / Jack Nickolson- Michelle Phiffer

I wanted to have a copy of "Wolf" because it was the last movie I watched on PAY TV with my 84 year old father before he became ill and passed on. I cherish every moment each time I watch it. My father compared"Wolf"to a movie he watched as a youngster in a theater, "Phantom of the Opra" where everyone was crying and screaming because of the reality of the film. I had the movie "Wolf" on VHS but the tape began to flutter so much that it wouldn't track anymore. I purchased a dvd to replace the vhs copy. I am pleased to be able to find one at a bargin price and such availability on E-Bay.Read full review...

I love the title

Jack nicholson is such a good actor. The roles he chooses to play are eerie and thought-provoking. Michelle phifer is gorgeous, and has such a wonderful expression-filled face. I love werewolf movies. The only disappointment was the werewolf makeup, it was so subdued. But, they were mainly focusing on the dilemas of the characters.Read full review...
