Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Steve Mathie The basketball element of this game is the worst I have ever seen. It's so dumb. Shocks me. The little gym and the whole walking in to play while hurt . Come on. Wtf is this?
tlarraya I though this would be the typical sports movie with excitement and a talent story (we tend to enjoy those). But it's a B movie or a TV film movie. It's very predictable from the beginning. The acting is very bad. The filming is bad. There is just no story to tell. Don't waste your time.
Michael Ledo Anthony (Taylor John Smith) attends St. Anthony's diverse school in NYC. He is the star of the basketball team and is looking at attending Cornell. His father is a college professor (Michael Shannon) with minor alcohol and major gambling issues which weighs on Anthony's tuition, etc. Anthony's problems compound as the film goes on until it gets to the point he has to step up and go above and beyond.This is a high school basketball drama. The film uses the N-word in a less than racist, and causal manner, that does not go unnoticed and corrected. I thought Taylor John Smith was less compelling in his star role than his support cast. Michael Shannon provided us with a complex antagonist, a role that sometimes take center court and front of the DVD cover.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.
soundinfinite-791-948065 The title: Wolves. 1. The name of a high school basketball team with a star player up for college recruitment. 2. Predators that viciously exploit human addictions. 3. Pseudo Protectors that devour our hopes and dreams.There are many wolves in this film, feeding in subtle and not so subtle ways.It's a film that shows us how easily our human weaknesses can destroy all that we love. Yet, even when redemption is possible, we also see how some are beyond redemption. Such is the role of Michael Shannon as the father- who is extremely good at playing the wolf in sheep's clothing.The plot has some cliché moments and the ending is wrapped up far too neatly for my liking however overall it's a very good film.Considering what's out there in theatres at the moment, Wolves is top on my watch list.
