BIG BAD WOLVES

THE PLOT THUS FAR

A series of brutal murders puts the lives of three men on a collision course: The father of the latest victim now out for revenge, a vigilante police detective operating outside the boundaries of law, and the main suspect in the killings – a religious studies teacher arrested and released due to a police blunder.

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“Big Bad Wolves” makes a big deal out of its Quentin Tarantino endorsement. The film is pretty straightforward. An Israeli cop and his pals want to make a local school teacher pay for his suspected role in a serious of brutal murders. The teacher continues to claim he’s innocent, but no one is having it. What thrills me about this film is how brutal it is willing to get so fast. Sure, some question the actions and the police try to balance out the carnage. But, this is a very serious look at what vicious thoughts of murder do to the human psyche.

The nature of revenge is very complicated. Issues of punishment and morality start to push this film into horror territories and I can’t say that is not where it belongs. Revenge is a bitter poison that ruins an individual, as they sacrifice the forward momentum of a life to destroy another. If you’re paying attention throughout the feature, it ends as expected. However, I felt that “Prisoners” did a better job examining the journey towards self destruction that happens in cases like this. Not enough people supported that movie during its theatrical run.

The Blu-Ray comes with featurettes and a trailer as the special features. The DTS-HD 5.1 master audio track is supportive enough. The same can be said for the 1080p transfer. However, it’s not something that’s going to blow you out the back of your home theater. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase.

RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW!
