Sophisticated to a point, this well-executed wolf-man tale works due to its clever setting and enormous star power. We all know Jack Nicholson can go nuts, but the script makes his character aware of his changes, sometimes for the better, early on. The setting, a publishing house in the middle of a takeover, gives the characters dramatic life before the horror elements kicks in. A senior editor about to get the boot, Nicholson's character becomes a new man after being bitten by a wolf. He takes on challenges at work, lives a more robust life, and attracts a new love. But will his newfound energy consume him? Director Mike Nichols keeps the action alive in the first half, but the film peters out at the end with cheap theatrics and the overuse of slow motion. Michelle Pfeiffer has little to do as simply the love interest with a grittier than average personality. Better is James Spader as a smarmy colleague. Nicholson is in fine form, relying on his keen gift to spark interest (a twitch of the head, a look in the eyes), instead of heavy doses of movie makeup. Giuseppe Rotunno's sweeping camerawork sets the mood quite well. Easy to recommend, with the added feature it's hardly gratuitous. I--Doug Thomas/I
Chronique amazon.fr
IWolf/I est un film de loup-garou moderne. Un homme proche de la cinquantaine, un brin desabuse (Jack Nicholson), recouvre un regain de vitalite a la suite de la morsure d'un loup. Etre un loup-garou, ce n'est pas, nous dit en substance Mike Nichols, hurler les nuits de pleine lune, avoir les poils qui rebiquent, c'est surtout (re)trouver ses sens primitifs et acquerir l'instinct animal de conservation. Dans une scene particulierement rejouissante, le heros, evince de son entreprise par un jeune cadre ambitieux, l'ecrase avec bonheur grace a ses nouvelles capacites. Mike Nichols prouve qu'il est aussi a l'aise dans le registre fantastique que dans la comedie. Michelle Pfeiffer donne brillamment la replique a Nicholson avant d'etre totalement seduite. Alors, vous aussi, laissez-vous aller et succombez !. I--Marc Anthony/I

 TOP DRAWER WEREWOLF FILM... December 13, 2006
Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a thinking person's werewolf movie. Well directed by Mike Nichols, it features a stellar cast who give excellent performances. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, and David Hyde Pierce all contribute to the successful execution of this sophisticated and subtle horror film. As an added bonus, those of you who are devotees of the TV series, "Friends", should look for David Schwimmer's cameo appearance in the film. br / br /Jack Nicholson plays a middle aged, married, senior book editor for a publishing company. Driving home at night from a business trip in New England, he hits an animal on the road. When he gets out of his car to check on the condition of the animal, he discovers it to be a wolf. What happens next will change the course of his life forever. br / br /When Jack gets back to his office, he is feeling the after effects of his interaction with the wolf. He is also concerned about his job, as his publishing house has been taken over by Christopher Plummer. Jack initially plays his character as a somewhat laid back, nice guy, a good man who doesn't see the knife being plunged into his back by his young, ambition driven underling, played with obsequious perfection by James Spader, until it is too late. Publishing is, indeed, a dog eat dog world. br / br /Betrayed by his underling who has been given his job, Jack finds himself undergoing a subtle, physical metamorphosis. He no longer needs reading glasses, his hearing is extremely acute, and he has a keen, very keen, sense of smell. It is these enhanced senses that lead him to discover that his wife, well played by Kate Nelligan, has shockingly betrayed his love and devotion, causing him to leave her. It is a betrayal that is to have dire consequences for her. br / br /Finding himself more robust and aggressive, literally a new man, Jack goes on the attack and, and with the aid of his loyal underling, played to perfection by David Hyde Pierce, gets his job back. He aggressively asserts himself with Spader and lets him know, in no uncertain terms, who is top dog. There is a memorable scene to this effect. In the process of regaining his life, Jack falls in love with the boss's beautiful daughter, played with gritty charm by Michelle Pfeiffer, and she with him. br / br /Still, Jack finds himself battling his inner demons over his change. The transformation of Jack is subtle, and there is very lttle use of special effects to enhance his metamorphosis. Jack is often able to convey to the viewer what he is undergoing with a flick of the eyebrow, a twitch of the nose, a curl of the lips. It is a wonderful piece of acting and a tribute to the power of suggestion. br / br /Certain events transpire that make Jack fear that his transformation will result in injury to Michelle. She eventually buys into his fear, misinterpreting certain events that take place. What he and she ultimately discover is that they both, in fact, have a great deal to fear, but that their initial fear was misplaced. Look to a great finale. br / br /If you are the type of horror film fan who likes excessive gore, as well as many high tech, special effects, this is not the film for you, as there is very little of that in this film. This is a subtle, multi-layered, symbolic type of horror film that will leave the viewer analyzing what they just saw. It is simply a great werewolf film.

Will Randall (Jack Nicholson) has made it to the top of his publishing career. With no where to go he is sure to be a victim of the latest merger. He has the support of close friends and loyal clients; however that is not enough for him to see any way out but down or out. Little does he know that he is being helped "out." br / br /One night driving on a dark snowy road in Wisconsin he encounters and collides with a wolf. Upon investigation of the situation he is nipped. br / br /Turns out this could be the best/worst that that could happen. Now he finds the physical and mental agility to correct his misfortunes. All he needs is the support of a good woman (Michelle Pfeiffer). br / br /Well played scenario. It is not your typical Wolfy movie. You find your self rooting for Will who I think is Jack Nicholson being himself. One of my favorite scenes is where he is in the men's room and relives himself on a deserving weasel, stating "I'm just marking my territory, and you got in the way." br / br / br / br /

Intelligent horror film/character study October 18, 2003
Douglas King (Cincinnati, OH United States)
This is an interesting film, because it's partly a character study of a tired, middle aged publisher and partly a horror film about werewolves. Jack Nicholson plays a publisher about to lose his job to his friend and protege, who also happens to be sleeping with his wife. He seems too worn out to put up much of a fight, until he is bitten by a dying wolf, and begins to feel as if he has taken on its spirit. He also falls for the incredibly beautiful daughter of his boss (Michelle Pfeiffer). This movie has top notch acting, an intriuging story and a cool ending. I recommend it.
