Well, folks, I’m seeing way too many movies for my own good and today, it was the movie ‘Wolf.’ Great movie but seriously what does one come to expect of Jack Nicholson?

A book publishing house editor, Will Randall, (Jack Nicholson) on a miserable winter’s night is driving in Vermont on an icy snowy country road. He hit a patch of ice and hits a wolf. He gets out of his car and cautiously goes over to the wolf that’s lying in a snow bank, looking dead. Ultimately the wolf bites Randall on the hand.

Next evening, at the office party at the boss’s house, Randall’s Boss Frank Alden (Christopher Plummer) basically gives Randall a choice, take a job in Eastern Europe or be unemployed. To make matters worse he is being replaced by his 30+ protégé, Stuart Swinton (James Spader), who is a total brown noser. Reluctantly, Randall accepts because he’s worried about being unemployed at his age.

He stumbles away from the party after he spooks the horses. He meets Alden’s daughter, Laurel (Michelle Pfeiffer). He stumbles, which he is good at by now, and falls against her, hands landing on her breasts. Of course he thinks he is completely safe since he is married.

The wolf bite makes him start feeling more powerful and he turns down Eastern Europe. He starts acting more aggressively and starts fighting for his job, especially after catching his wife having an affair with Swinton, whom Randall bites on the hand.

This movie doesn’t lack in any area. The plot is terrific from the beginning and keeps getting better through the whole movie. The characters and actors alike interact well with each other. The special effects are great, not too much and not too little, it’s just right. I liked it a lot and would probably see it again.

I found this film so boring. I'm loathe to even acknowledge it as being a horror film!
