Wolf Trailer: Brad Pitt and George Clooney Exchange Cool Jokes While Trying to Clean Up a Bizarre NYC Crime Scene

The trailer for the long-awaited film Wolfs was released on Wednesday morning.

In Wolf, good friends George Clooney and Brad Pitt play rival fixers who are hired to solve the same crime in New York City.

The two start out as strangers arriving at the same crime scene, and they take a dislike to each other from the start, exchanging vitriolic comments.

They fight side by side while dodging threats from the police and the Albanian mafia.

Wolfs, which already has a sequel in the works, debuts Friday on Apple TV+.

Pitt and Clooney first starred together in 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven.

And like that remake of the Rat Pack original, Wolfs is as much, if not more, about its stars than anything else.

The film’s appeal lies largely in their effortless charm and chemistry: the little eye-rolls and games in which they try to outdo each other, until they are finally buddies, just the way we want them to be.

Clooney is 63 and Pitt is 60, and there are few passages about back pain and Advil in the film.

But Wolfs is designed to show you that they can still get the job done without really trying.

When their characters meet, they’re both in the penthouse of a luxury New York hotel, where a tough-on-crime prosecutor (Amy Ryan) is desperate to uncover a cover-up.

A young, nearly naked man lies on the ground, seemingly dead.

She frantically searched her phone for a number that had once been provided for this kind of emergency.

With that, the first unnamed fixer (Clooney) arrives.

Not long after, the second, also nameless fixer (Pitt) knocks on the door.

After a moment of confusion, he points to a small camera on the ceiling. He’s been sent away by the hotel owner (an unseen Frances McDormand) who doesn’t want bad press.

When they hear that they have to do the job together, the two handymen get to work to get rid of the body.

They view each other with suspicion and are not interested in revealing the tricks of the trade.

That’s largely thanks to Clooney’s character, who creatively lifts the body onto a luggage rack and begins to earn the respect of Pitt’s character.

It turns out that they have a lot, perhaps everything, in common.

Slowly and reluctantly they move closer to a partnership.

Once outside the hotel, Wolfs unfolds over the course of one night, filmed in the shadows of downtown Manhattan by cinematographer Larkin Seiple.

The situation changes when it turns out that the body in question is still alive, and that is also a big celebration.

The boy, identified only as “Kid,” wakes from a drug-induced stupor and quickly escapes, dressed in a pair of tight underwear, down the street, forcing the two fixers into an extended chase that leads to the Brooklyn Bridge.

A sequel has already been announced. Wolfs proves to be both the beginning and the coda of a beautiful friendship

Austin Abrams (Euphoria, The Walking Dead) plays the kid with a lot of crazy guts and his story of how he got into this situation, which he delivers to a cheap motel, is perhaps the best scene in the film.

As for Clooney and Pitt, both in leather jackets, from the backseat of the car, he judges them rightly, calling them “the two coolest people I’ve ever met.”

A sequel has already been announced. Wolfs proves to be both the beginning and the coda of a beautiful friendship.

Wolfs, an Apple Studios release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for language and some violence. Running time: 108 minutes. Three out of four stars.
