The “twist” at the end is very hand-wavy and doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Feels like it was added at the end by a studio exec who didn’t think things through.
While it's fun to think of Wolfs as Ocean's 2, it's not really that at all. But? Still a lot of fun. Clooney and Pitt are high-level "cleaners" who, one night, have to clean up after a D.A.'s disastrous hotel fling and stumble upon larger crimes in the big city. Only thing is, they both believe they're the only game in town and don't enjoy working together despite being two peas in a pod. Obviously benefiting from the two stars' chemistry, Wolfs also has some pretty cool set pieces, whether the covert "heist" stuff or the more action-driven stunts and violence, with amusing twists on old ideas abounding. Austin Abrams rounds out the cast as a witless kid caught up in events and he's pretty funny too. I know it goes against the concept that lone wolves - sorry, wolfs - should collaborate, but I wouldn't mind more adventures starring these guys. I feel like we left even the supporting characters in a place that would allow a sequel.

Entertaining comedy action movie. Nothing special but fun. Chemistry between the 2 leads drives this movie.Simon Lavender
Good, not very good.Decent action but felt the actors were playing themselves..Pitt doing his open mouth smile blinking and George did Men who stare at Goats etc

At times this almost feels like a spin-off of Michael Clayton - which is a good thing. Clooney's great at this kind of character.Filmbuff77
