Blunt asks him, “What’s it like in New York?” and it’s like every other awkward first date.
#SAVAGE 2 A TORTURED SOUL REVIEW MOVIE#
This movie can’t even give wolfie a genuine love story.
Make him a richly tortured soul searching for a cure or at least some self-control, like the Hulk or Frankenstein’s creature, and you’ve got tragic potential. Make him full-on evil, like Dracula or the Mummy, and you’ve got a cool monster movie. Our shaggy protagonist - this Chia Pet “Incredible Hulk” - is neither hero nor villain. Still, the story can never quite sink its claws into you. Yet the movie is pungent with atmosphere, laying down a thick fog of creepy Victorian murk, with tight action scenes and without the cheesy one-liners and would-be hipness of “Sherlock Holmes,” which takes place at the same time, 1891.
Think of another popcorn movie in which you’d have a relatively happy ending if only the hero killed himself in Act 2. Lawrence resolves to stay until the killer is found, but wandering the forest at night in the presence of a bloodthirsty murder machine turns out not to be as smart as you’d think.Īs a story, “The Wolfman” is a strange beast. Once Lawrence arrives, though, his frosty dad (Anthony Hopkins) informs him that he needn’t have bothered - the cherished sibling’s been torn apart by a savage man-beast. is actor Lawrence Talbot, a Shakespearean thespian working the New York stages called home to England by a letter from his brother’s girlfriend (Emily Blunt) informing him that his brother’s gone missing. No, it’s “The Wolfman,” though Del Toro again crosses the sea to rescue an island nation’s peasants (who wind up wishing he’d never gotten on a boat).ī.
Benicio Del Toro as a hairy psycho who roams the land on a deranged murder spree while driven by a monstrous disease? I thought this movie was called “Che.”
