Overview

Jack Nicholson stars in a retelling of the famous werewolf legend in director Mike Nichols Wolf. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, this is a very solid looking transfer that features natural flesh tones and well saturated colors. While a few imperfections exist (including a smattering of edge enhancement), overall this is a pleasing transfer which should excite animalistic fans everywhere. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English as well as Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround in Spanish and French. The 5.1 mix is not quite as exciting as one might hope (while there are a few directional effects and the range seems to be confined to the front and rear speakers), though it does offer up crystal clear dialogue, music and effects. Also included on this disc are English, Spanish and Korean subtitles. As for extra features, Columbia has apparently decided that a bare bones disc was the only way to go for this release. Not a single extra feature is included on Wolf.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Michael Costello
Mike Nichols' version of the Jim Harrison novel is a witty, intelligent, and beautifully made film that doesn't quite come off. Jack Nicholson stars as a book editor who begins to display strangely lupine characteristics after being bitten by a wolf. With renewed aggression, he begins to go after the hypocritical yuppie James Spader who had recently ousted him from his job. For about the first hour the movie is slyly entertaining, with its caustic dissection of the Darwinian nature of office politics, and Nicholson's growing awareness that his slow transformation into a wolf can have its advantages. At this point the changes are slight enough that the satiric tone remains grounded in reality. As the film progresses, though, moving closer to the realm of the traditional horror movie's myth and fantasy trappings, relationships become more unbelievable and it's more difficult to know what the filmmakers are trying to say. Nicholson, who seems to be loving every minute, gives a superbly modulated performance as the wronged editor, and Spader is excellent as his unctuously backstabbing nemesis. Michelle Pfeiffer, however, is hamstrung by a character that seems hollow and underwritten. Although the film leaves one with a sense of vague dissatisfaction, there is still much here to enjoy.

    My daughter really likes Jack Nicholson and had wanted to see this movie for along time.

    As I said above, my daughter likes Jack and wanted to see this movie. She has watched it several times and really enjoys it.
