Synopsis

Worn down and out of luck, mild-mannered, middle-aged book editor Will Randall (Jack Nicholson) is at the end of his rope when a younger co-worker snatches both his job and wife out from under his nose. But after being bit by a wolf, Will suddenly finds himself energized, more competitive than ever, and possessed with amazingly heightened senses. Meanwhile, the beautiful daughter of his shrewd boss begins to fall for him - without realizing that the man she's begun to love is gradually turning into the creature by which he was bit.

Critics' reviews

"An effective attempt to place a werewolf story in an incongruous setting (...) Nicholson is very good (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Nichols has crafted a rapturous romantic thriller with a darkly comic subtext about what kills human values."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Nichols has allowed Wolf to evolve from a well-mounted, supernatural drama to goofy camp."

Desson Howe: The Washington Post
"It's a wonderfully entertaining and beautifully performed film."

Edward Guthmann: SFgate
