Wolfs (2024) — Clooney and Pitt charm in underwhelming crime caper

Hired to cover up a high-profile crime, a fixer soon finds his night spiralling out of control when he’s forced to work with an unexpected counterpart.

When a high-flying Manhattan District Attorney, Margaret Kretzer (Amy Ryan), meets an anonymous young man in her room, it ends with him dead on the floor. Not wanting her career and name tarnished due to an accident with an escort, she desperately calls a number given to her by a friend…

A “fixer” called Jack (George Clooney) promptly arrives and tells Margaret he can cover up the situation and ensure nobody will ever know a thing. But then, Margaret receives a call from the hotel’s owner, Pamela Dowd-Henry (Frances McDormand), who witnessed the whole incident via a hidden camera. And in trying to minimise the bad publicity her footage might bring her business, Pamela has sent her own fixer, Nick (Brad Pitt), to get the same job done.
