‘Wolfs’: Pitt and Clooney Needed a Comedy-Competent Director

A tale of two competing fixers could have been hilarious, but it bogs down due to a lackluster script and a director not up to comedy’s requirements.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt play a couple of competing fixers in “Wolfs.” Fixers are the guys paid to make crime scenes and other compromising and embarrassing situations disappear for wealthy clients who don’t feel like going to court or jail. These two alpha males, getting on in years and stuck in their ways—are forced to work together. Clooney’s well-versed in the fixer game, having played one memorably in the excellent “Michael Clayton.”
