Watch Wolf For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

If you are wondering what this movie is about. Just watch the movie and you'll keep wondering for more then two hours. To me, the movie was about a director falling in love with the main actor Majid. Just a followup of scenes of Majid walking the stairs up, Majid walking the stairs down, Majid eating his oatmeal, Majid working' out, Majid showing his muscles, Majid making love, Majid getting angry, Majid happy, Majid working out, .Majid in a cool leather jacket, Majid talking, Majid walking, Majid taking control... well you can fill in the dots. And it consumes too much time on those kind of scenes, that don't add any value to the story. The director also forgets that there are other actors in the movie. A friend of Majid develops from a small time bicycle thief to a straight up Dead President meet Heat kinda gangster almost overnight. The movie was so slow, it makes No Country for Old Men look like a fast paced car chase flick. I kept hoping for Chigurg popping' out and doing his thing to save the movie. You know a movie becomes bad when you stop caring about the story, characters or character development and start wishing for it to end. The movie is also illogical. It tries to be realistic, but uses a deus ex Majida every time, whose a superman, an unbeatable kick boxer, expert marksman and superb lover. I has an open end, but it feels like an open story. You wait for the story to begin, but it never does. The actor who plays Majid ain't that bad, he's really good. But just too pretentious. Only teenage girls, whom couldn't decide between the Edward vs. Jacob camp will enjoy this movie. And people who suffer from a dormant racial guilt and like to see a Maroccan thrive in a dutch movie.

Maj-id is an unbeatable boxer, thug, thief, henchman and lover.The Director of this film is also the screenwriter, (please keep this in mind) which makes one wonder if there's any latent quasi-envy issues in his social-political p.o.v. towards black men. Read on, then watch the film.The progression of the story and the plight of the main character Maj-id (Moroccan descent) seems woefully preoccupied with race and acceptance. This meme is repeated over and over to a point of .. (see last sentence of this review) Maj-id is an unbeatable boxer, street thief, thug, henchman and lover. He even hits his girlfriend. She befriends a black man(and Maj-id loses it. The girlfriend is sexually turned on and wants to know what its like to beat a man to a pulp. Black people in the film are referred to as a monkeys or jungle commandos. Maj-id .. remember .. is an unbeatable boxer, thug, thief, henchman and lover. Even with full swing baton hits to the stomach and to a seemingly broken hand. You must understand that Maj-id is an unbeatable boxer, street thief, thug, henchman and lover. I know, it gets old.Stereotypical high school fantasy writing. You see, the film's setting is in the Netherlands, though there's hardly any Dutch people in the film. The writer/director solely uses black people in this story to juxtapose Maj-id's thuggish activities, or beats them to a pulp to prove his skills as a boxer. Realistically if Maj-id's world of organized crime involved dealing with Dutch people, .. well, then Maj-id and his gang would be likely referred to as monkeys. Hence the writing and casting decisions.This portrait of Maj-id suggests he's not black, he's Moroccan ... and he's just filled with rage. Why? In this film, you'll never find out. It's not important. What seems important to the writer/director is to have Maj-id head butt his 70 year old father (yes, the same father who has 12 year old son) .. in the hospital after his brother dies. This same portrait of Maj-id displays him with an enormous gold tooth and matching gold chain. Cue rap music. Yes, there's scenes in which he robs and vandalizes while rap music is blaring. But, he's not black, he's Moroccan. Maj-id is an unbeatable boxer, thug, thief, henchman and lover. He hits women, head butts his 70 year old father and can beat a world champion boxer .. even if his ribs are busted and his hand is broken.What was the director thinking? Watch the film.

The movie is made by the amazing Habbekrats with the amazing cast. Thecamera-work and directing is insanely good with the black/white HD is it even stronger then expected. Storywise isn't it something we saw before, it really strong. While watching the movie you see the story about a guy in Utrecht. He had a difficult youth and being in a program to get back on track he finds way to get more money. With his friends he joins up and finding the way. He is a kick boxer and is getting picked up by a manager who wants the best for him. While the story goes on he is getting back in his old habits while trying to take care of his family.

Just got back from the cinema and felt a strong urge to review this movie. It's successful predecessor 'RABAT', also produced by HABBEKRATS, combined with the rather interesting trailer are what made me curious about this movie.I can't say I stepped into it without expectations, quite the opposite, as the trailer leaves you no option really:) But WOLF lived up to every expectations I had and more.Everything from how precisely Dutch street life is depicted, choice of actors, to story-line, realness & rawness, are what make this movie an absolute must see. It manages to captivate the observer from start to end without a doubt.For many it will create insights into a world that has remained unknown to them & for some it will be a movie close to their heart, close to their own lives & experiences. Either way, you will surely not be disappointed.I believe it's save to state that HABBEKRATS has proved to be more than a one-hit wonder and they are here to stay. As for me, I proudly & warmly welcome any Dutch production of this caliber!
