Wolfcop. Great title, great poster. It looked so promising. A modern-day B-movie that seems destined to become a cult classic. Surely it would be everything a modern B-movie should be: funny, gory, entertaining, silly. Something that would be good to watch with mates while having a beer.
Unfortunately Wolfcop does not come anywhere near to delivering what it should do. There are some good moments of gore, some of which are quite funny. However, that's about all it's got going for it. The storyline is too serious and dull. There is one character in there who is put in for comedic value but his good moments are few and far between and completely overshadowed by the dullness that is the rest of the film. It's also a bit too slow paced and there's an infuriatingly long, drawn out and boring sex scene (that is not graphic at all so not sure why they bothered to add it in or make it so long). Disappointingly, it also doesn't feel like there are enough all-out gory, funny, ridiculous scenes that would make it a true B-movie classic.
A good example of where this film fails to deliver is when Wolfcop and his mate decide to do up the police car, A-Team-style. However it doesn't really show you what they do to it, when it comes out of the garage it doesn't really look any different and they don't utilise it in any way, shape or form. It's a completely wasted opportunity.
Also, big thumbs down - there's no worthy quoteable lines in this film.
The acting ranges wildly from good to poor. The film is shot well enough but is just blandly directed so not great fun to watch. Overall, it was OK as a one-off watch. I wouldn't recommend it and it has no repeat viewing value.
