Wolf starring Jack Nicholson is a good movie and contains some pretty awesome sequences. It is quite visceral, and the pacing is good. Nicholson is his usual and pretty Michelle Pfieffer can also deliver her lines rather well. Mike Nichols takes a detour from the kind of films he usually makes and this one is special for it. This is quite different from An American werewolf in Paris and the likes. I wouldn't call Wolf underrated but it is a rather unseen film and many people haven't even heard of it.

Jack steals the show again with a great supporting cast of James Spader, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer and many more in this great werewolf movie that offers horror and romance. Jack Nicholson stars as Will Randall a book editor on his way back home when he runs over an animal, little does Will know when he goes to check the animal, it is a wolf and it bites him. When he returns back to work he is intrigued to find that even though his job is failing due to the young executive Steward Swinton played by James Spader, that Will feels more alive than ever and he isn't backing down easily. His new powers of highly developed senses leave him feeling wonderful and new so much that he is falling for the ex boss's lovely daughter Laura Alden played by Michelle Pfeiffer but what he doesn't know is that his new senses come at a cost and it wants payback every full moon, can he keep Laura away from the beast within. It certainly may not be the most popular werewolf movie of all time for many fans but I certainly find it a thrill to watch and the great chosen cast make that happen with a equally good music score form Ennio Morricone and excellent make up effects from Rick Baker. This is well worth a 10/10 from me and if you haven't seen it then have a bite at it, you may even like it.

Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan and Christopher Plummer star in this 1994 horror film. Nicholson (The Shining) plays Will Randall, an editor who soon gets bit by a werewolf. After his senses improve, he learns he's inherited the mark of the beast. Pfeiffer (The Witches of Eastwick) plays Laura Alden, a young woman he not only finds romance with, but turns out to be the daughter of his boss, Raymond (Plummer). Spader (Pretty in Pink) plays Will's co-worker, Stuart Swinton who competes with him for a higher position and Nelligan (Dracula) plays Will's wife, Charlotte who has an affair with Stuart. I've always liked this film and think it's underrated. Jack and Michelle are great in this and have good chemistry, Ennio Morricone's score is great as usual as well as Rick Baker's make-up effects. I recommend this.

Wolf is a sharp turn on the werewolf genre with an almost a biting satire on the boardroom politics of corporate America. Jack Nicholson is a publishing executive whilst driving in the woods he hits a wolf at full moon and gets bit by it.Jack is rather old school when it comes to publishing, favouring the talent of his writers and honing their skills. However his new owner has grander ideas which means making more money and promoting the more duplicitous and slicker James Spader as the new head.Nicholson realizes that there is something wrong with him when the moon is full. His senses are developing with a stronger and sharper sense of vision, hearing and smell, even animal instincts.He suspects his wife might be cheating on him, Spader might not be the friend he pretends to be, he attracts the attention of Michelle Pfeiffer the daughter of the new owner and cunningly plots a coup of his own.There is a thriller element to the plot as well as satire mixed with werewolf horror. Jack actually is a nice guy here, you root for him as he turns it around on his rivals. Spader is sleazy willing to use everyone and anyone and a ethical bankrupt.Wolf is a fun and interesting film in the werewolf genre where many other films have disappointed.
