SnoopyStyle Vivian (Agnes Bruckner) lives in Bucharest, Romania with aunt Astrid (Katja Riemann) who runs a chocolate shop. They are part of a pack of werewolves led by Gabriel (Olivier Martinez). Ten years earlier, Vivian lost her family to hunters in Colorado. The pack follows Gabriel's Law and stays hidden from the human world. Visiting American illustrator Aiden (Hugh Dancy) falls for Vivian but she has been promised for Gabriel. Gabriel's heir Rafe is secretly hunting with his friends against the Law.Hugh Dancy's boyish smile annoyed me in this movie mainly due to his character's deliberate cluelessness. He is chasing Vivian through the city and is dumb-founded that she's trying to run away from her. He couldn't take a hint even if somebody hits him over the head. A possible solution is to make Aiden the protagonist. We as the audience can learn about this world along with him. We don't have to be so far ahead of him that he becomes an idiot.I do like the idea of the werewolf in this movie and the Romanian setting. The Romanian shooting does make it more amateurish. The writing is not the best. While the concept has potential, this is strictly B-movie.
Edgar Soberon Torchia Quite good werewolf movie, without those ugly and tacky transformations a la "An American Werewolf in London" and "The Howling". This time the writers added a different approach to the legend of the wolf men and women, providing a fine line in their half human-half animal essence that determines their behavior, giving them dignity and royal lineage, and proposing a new era of peace and less violence in their interaction with humans. The usual annoying elements that you find in commercial films are also here: editing striving for effect, too much music and a romantic musical video as some sort of plot point, when the young leading characters (a female "loup garou" and a young man) make public their attraction. But this is not the typical product providing cheap thrills. It is a fine genre motion picture, with good performances by Olivier Martínez and the young cast.
Hakari I think this movie was stupid all they did was take the characters out of the book than changed it to how they wanted it, the book is placed in the US and she ends up with Gabriel not the human I bought the movie and have only watched it once it sucked. I loved the book it has more of a plot than the movie did, only two of the wolves hunt humans and they die at the end of the book. the main set of the book is the girl trying to find herself and to prove she is like her father and can be an alpha. there's a lot of drama Gabriel is only in his early twenty's in the book where in the movie he looks in his thirty's or forties and her mother is really wild instead of non existent
izzy1235 The book that this movie is based on is actually a lot better then the movie. I do prefer the book over this movie. THe movie is completely different then the book. THey take place in two totally different places. I am not saying that i don't like the movie. i mean i do like it but I saw the movie before i knew there was a book and i have to say that the movie get basically everything wrong. So for the people that want a better plot line read the book. I do still watch the movie. i am watching the movies as i type this review on the movie. i shall try not to spoil any thing for or i hope not but even the ending are different in the book.
