After the summer release of 2024, a movie that looked like a Hollywood blockbuster suddenly became the focus of the media, "Two Wolves".
In any case, when the names of Brad Pitt and George Clooney appear in a news event at the same time, anyone can't help but take a look, let alone in the same movie. Two super idols from the last golden age of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and George Clooney represent people's fond memories of the peak period of Hollywood movies in the 1990s. They are also one of the few Hollywood movies that has not been affected by superhero movies. A-list stars.
As a recent peak of Hollywood movies, too many classic works were born in the 1990s, including a series of movies starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney . Brad Pitt's strong personality and George Clooney's boundless charm have created their own distinct film styles, and the "Ocean" series of movies jointly created by the two has also become a popular IP in Hollywood, which has also made The audience is full of expectations for the two Hollywood heroes to collaborate again in 2024.
Brad Pitt is still so personal, and George Clooney is still so charming. It’s a pity that the streaming media era has changed everything.
The only interesting thing about "Two Wolves" may be the occupation of the two leading actors in the movie, a kind of "cleaner" similar to private detectives, who specialize in cleaning up some difficult scenes for clients. Similar to the "cancel" button in office software, no matter how embarrassing the customer is, they can revert everything to a state that did not happen.
The beginning of the movie is quite interesting. A female senior civil servant had a carnival with a man in a hotel room. When she woke up, she found that the man was unconscious, so she immediately called in a "cleaner" to solve the problem. After a moderately interesting beginning, the film immediately descends into a lengthy "gag" between two old men, which is something the two Hollywood superstars are completely bad at.
The director strives to imitate Guy Ritchie-style crime movies, telling a case that gradually gets out of control in a series of accidents. However, under the experienced control of two Hollywood superstars, the movie "Two Wolves" is as boring as a ppt.
In fact, it is difficult to have a story suitable for two heavyweight actors with different styles like Brad Pitt and George Clooney to appear at the same time, whether it is the "Ocean" series back then or this year's "Two Wolves". The only reason the two could collaborate on a film like this is that it's a "streaming" film.
I still remember the sensation caused by Netflix’s “The Irishman” in 2019. It was the first film shot by a master like Martin Scorsese to be released on a streaming platform, and “The Irishman” was also nominated for the Oscars. Received multiple nominations. However, as industry giants such as Apple and HBO join the streaming media industry, the competition for subscribers has reached a fever pitch, and the demand for quantity of streaming media subscribers is obviously higher than quality. No matter which platform "manages enough", it is the first. One person.
As a result, a large number of streaming movies have appeared. Such movies are usually starring A-list stars, are well-made and have relatively simple plots, and are designed to obtain as much return as possible at a relatively fixed cost. Just like "Two Wolves" starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, the time span is just one night, the main scene is in a hotel room, and the two characters don't even have names. The two superstars did not try their best to star in this movie. After all, this is just a streaming movie. It can only fill the consumption time of subscribers.
