Routine sports-related drama with a great Michael Shannon performance...
“Wolves” is a drama that adheres pretty closely to movies about an athlete overcoming adversity and obstacles in his struggle to achieve a goal. Anthony (Taylor John Smith, TV’s “American Crime”) is an A-plus student and talented basketball player on his Manhattan high school’s team. He seems to have lots going for him: amazing skill on the court, a loving girlfriend (Zazie Beetz, “Deadpool”), and a chance at a scholarship to Cornell.<br /><br />But Anthony’s dreams of playing college ball are jeopardized by his volatile father (Michael Shannon, “Nocturnal Animals”), a hard-drinking writer whose compulsive gambling threatens to derail the lives of both his wife (Carla Gugino, “Watchmen”) and son. Though it goes against his nature, Anthony must summon the strength to step out from his father’s shadow and set his sights on his future.<br /><br />Two individuals serve as inspiration for Anthony — Socrates (John Douglas Thompson), a former New Jersey Nets player, and Charlie (Chris Bauer), the boy’s uncle. They both are there for Anthony, offering him encouragement even when things look bleak.<br /><br />Though the entire cast is effective, it is Shannon who really shines, elevating the movie with his talent and star power. He is a unique actor who has the ability to draw in the viewer and believably convey the character he’s portraying.<br />The plot template is familiar, and is right from the playbook that brought us “Rudy,” “The Karate Kid” and “The Blind Side,” but even if you’re not a sports fan, “Wolves” delivers as a family-in-crisis drama.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the R-rated, widescreen DVD release.
