...Wolf...
...here's the plot: man is bitten by wolf he hits whole driving on a snowy night in Vermont. He doesn't think anything about it until his senses become more attuned; he can hear people whispering in other parts of his office building and has a zoom sort of vision which hones in on his "prey." Enter spoiled rich girl whose rebellious life has annoyed her publishing magnate father; falling in love with her father's newly-fired employee and soon-to-be arch enemy would be the ultimate in rebellion. There you have it: "Wolf" is one cliched...
Despite its harried plot what does make "Wolf" mildly entertaining is what Will's transformation does for him. Before he had been an average guy with a wife who plowed away at his job without any real gumption or nerve. His transformation makes him commit violent, gory acts of killing which he doesn't remember, but in his conscious life he channels his energy to make himself young again...
...Wolf" is an entertaining movie. It has you gripping your seats on occasion and gagging at the gore and the muck. It doesn't creep into your mind and make you scared to walk alone under a full moon, though. So if you think you can stomach the blood and want to see Nicholson and Pfeiffer doin' their thing, buy some microwave popcorn, sit back and watch it on video, because you can afford to miss it in the theaters...
...Wolf, Jack Nicholson is funny, scary and hairy...
