After directing a complete trilogy of Spiderman films for Marvel, writer-director Jon Watts seemed to have needed a well-deserved break from costumed heroics. Opting to make his new crime-drama comedy for Apple TV+ Wolves Instead of the comic book franchise version The Fantastic FourWatts has returned to his roots as an uncostumed hero. That said, he hasn’t gone fully independent, as the man behind Clown and Police car Now it’s got stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt in front of the camera, subjecting their co-stars to a wild night of mayhem in New York.

Wolves It’s not a terribly complicated movie, as two problem solvers, simply known as “Pam’s Man” (Brad Pitt) and “Margaret’s Man” (George Clooney), show up at the same would-be crime scene to do what they do best. It’s reminiscent of Martin Scorsese’s film. After hours and Benny and Josh Safdie SpreeWhat is supposed to play out as just another night turns into a competition to see if any of the bickering pros can make it to the morning. Complicating matters further is the presence of “Kid” (Austin Abrams), a mysterious character who begins Wolves like cleaning work, but surprisingly becomes a potential ally.
