Wolf

Wolf (1994) starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, Christopher Plummer, Richard Jenkins. Mild-mannered book editor (Nicholson), going through personal and professional crises, is bitten by a wolf. Suddenly his senses are heightened and he becomes very aggressive on the job and off. Far from sensational, this movie is a thoughtful examination of what life would be like if you were bitten by a (were)wolf. Nicholson is restrained in his role, and only Spader goes over the top. (Subtitles in English are not offered, but closed captions are.) Grade: B
