BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF

Brotherhood-of-the-Wolf-3Brotherhood of the Wolf is all over the place. It’s a French Revolution/ horror/ martial arts epic with style to burn, and makes up for the gaping holes in its story with sheer energy and sensory assault. Director Christophe Gans packs every moment of Brotherhood of the Wolf with either bone crunching action, (imagine if John Woo had directed Dangerous Liaisons), or some crazy audio / visual effects or busy scenes with beautiful people. Gans knows how to amuse the eye, he just isn’t much of a storyteller, but Brotherhood of the Wolf is so entertaining that we’ll forgive him just this once.
