Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

recklez 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.

Brandon Hazey First off I would like to say that don't hate a movie for cliché's, Love it for it's originality within the cliché's (if it has some of course), cause this movie has it.Wolf, a film I thought would be a flop, at least at first when a friend of mine recommended it to me (I hate Dutch acting. So washed up "Look at me, I am *actors name*, therefore you love me, and what do you mean with the character I portray in this movie is the same as in all my movies, people love my acting" style.). But man was I wrong. And when I say wrong, I mean WRONG. I enjoyed the entirety of the movie, maybe because I grew up in similar circumstances, with similar people during the 90's and 00's, or maybe because the acting, and Character development, and Dialogue was done/written superbly, and spot on.The kind of story it holds however, has been overused, and understandably, it is therefore a cliché. Nevertheless the overall feel to it was different, as you got a chance to see Dutch street life as it has never been shown before. A real look into it, rather than a joke, or a failed attempt.Wolf is worth the watch on any occasion, though I recommend you watch it with no more than 3 people including yourself.I rate this movie an 6.8, for enjoyment, and time well spend.

tacom Unfortunately I missed this movie in the cinema, but just bought the DVD and I am glad I did. I loved Rabat and was curious to find out if this movie was as good. It was, even better in my eyes. Very raw and rough storyline and still you are drawn into the story. Mostly thanks to Marwan Kenzari who plays his character with an intensity in both violent scenes as in the more moving scenes. Violence in this movie is just getting worse and worse....and you can see it happen and still you are shocked when it escalates. Beautifully shot in black and white. Fantastic crew of actors. Very credible in dialogs. Great art direction, simple and very convincing. Loved it, highly recommended. I can not wait for this team's new production.

teabaga22 Must say I have got to be in the right mind to watch subtitled movies. When I found out this was black and white I so nearly stopped watching this. AM GLAD I Didn't. This film is a great watch. Sex drugs guns fighting but with a bit of a story line. although a bit gangster cheesy in a few bits its kept me wanting to watch more. I think the bits of the film can relate to anybody who has grown up in a less than posh town. If in doubt give it a watch no its not no great masterpiece but id watch it twice and that's saying a lot. A lot of ppl just think of Amsterdam when they think of Holland ans yes its a crazy place(pls go if u can lol) but Holland like every other euro country has its rough places. Enjoy
