Lack of good storyline.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

...since it had a complete absense of werewolves in it, I don't think it actually qualifies as a werewolf movie. Not only do you not see any in the entire course of the movie, the word "werewolf" isn't even metioned. The entire movie seemed to me like they were playing Taboo, and you had to suggest werewolves without showing or saying anything that directly describes or displays them. Anyway...Half the movie is montages of scenes cut from the same movie. During the main character's "transformation" scene (which looks more like someone having a heart attack than transforming into a werewolf) they constantly cut to the moon over Manhattan (it's ALWAYS the full moon in this movie, despite the fact it supposedly takes place over more than a week) and a earler shot of him in sunglasses and a beret (ooh! scary...). There's almost no continuous action, ever... it never goes more than 5 minutes without one of these montages.It is somewhat original though, will give you that. It avoids most of the overused cliches in werewolf movies. The trouble is that after removing those, nothing was put in their place. It's like removing stains from clothes by cutting the fabric the stains are on completely off. Sure, now there's no stains, but it's full of holes now... that's what this movie is.

Of course the metaphor of stockbrokers being akin to bloodthirsty werewolves hunting in packs in trite, but having said that this is by far DeCoteau's most professionally executed film. Lots of reasonably vibrant location footage from Lower Manhattan, really good acting (quite a shock after some of DeCoteau's earlier efforts!), but the sex is less titillating than in some of his old stuff. The homosexual flirt is always at the core of a DeCoteau film and naked male flesh often seems to be the whole point of them. Not quite so here, which is why many might want to opt for a less idiosyncratic form of slasher movie.

OK...first thing: Eric Roberts is in this, so that should ring alarm bells.2nd thing: This is a werewolf film but you won't see anything hairier than some designer stubble. Absolutely no werewolves here. In fact apart from a (much repeated) gratuitous breast shot this film struggles to make its 15 certificate in any sense. In fact it mostly just doesn't make sense anyway.3rd thing: scariest of all, all the leading men seem to wear the same underpants when they strip off. I found this extremely un-nerving.The only thing worse than the acting is the plot. A barmaid takes out 3 werewolves in about 3 seconds with...a pen. The moon is so close to Wall St that you expect it to come crashing down. Said moon is ALWAYS in the same place and ALWAYS full. (Handy for werewolves I suppose)This movie struck me as being very homo-erotic (Eric Roberts, what can you say).Avoid or watch only when wasted for fun.All in all this is the 2nd worst film I have seen this year.(Reign of Darkness in case you ask)

Anyone who's portfolio has plummeted this past few years should enjoy this movie if they're into metaphors. It's all about stockbrokers acting as predators, rampaging in a pack to ensnare unsuspecting investors.I'm all in favor of a "Ripped-from-the Headlines" opus but it's too bad the filmmakers don't have a better vehicle than this rickety contraption with its low production values and stilted dialogue.Into the brokerage house of Woolf Brothers comes Jeff Allen, just out of business school with a dufflebag full of suits and no experience. Surprisingly, he qualifies to gain access to the Woolf's lair and adopts the firm's highly touted instinct to "focus, seek and attack." Sooner than it takes to say:"Look, there's another full moon" Jeff has acquired a taste for lots of purchasing orders and raw red meat.I think there was an opportunity here to develop a stronger storyline -- even a fun comedy -- but director David DeCoteau seems not to have risen above the mundane. Seen at the 2003 American Film Market in Santa Monica.
