I was just at the Ritz to check out 10th & Wolf, the new flick about a kid that finds out his dad was a mobster and kills people for a living so he leaves home (Philly) to become a marine but ultimately ends up fucking up a sergeant (for misleading him about the war in kuwait), running away with a jeep in the wrong direction and is eventually sent home to deal with some family matters by the feds. I’m not gonna explain the whole family matters part cause that’s basically the whole movie but I gotta say, shit gets crazy… mad people get shot, lots of drugs are being tunnled, dirty family secrets get exposed, intense feelings are exchanged and people fall in love. The charectors are all intense but not over exaggerated and the movie has a real rawness about it. It goes back and forth between being intensely cinematic and being oddly raw.
If you’re wondering about the title… 10 & Wolf is the block (Philly) that the family was raised on (I use to live 6 blocks away). I liked the movie but I dunno if the movie is for everyone….but it’s worth saying that there are some really gory combat/struggle scenes that were really wiggin out the lady next to me. Her husband stated, “pssshhh I can see why there is only six people here”. What I have to say to the this man: “Old man… you shoulda stayed home. Keep your negativity to yourself. Next time…do your and your wife a favor. Take both of youz to a nice date on a two hour senior citizen special cruise on the extravagant Spirit of Philadelphia. I hear they have a special going on for the next few weeks. Mobsters, massive blood, your dad’s best friend fucking your mom, titti bars and cocaine wasn’t on your prescription tonight!” Shebaaaammm! But seriously… be nice.
