Wolf was yet another unheralded film from Zee5's recent set of Direct-to-digital Malayalam releases, the earlier ones being the moderately enjoyable Innu Mudhal and the passable thriller Krishnankutty Pani Thudangi.
It is intended as a thriller set in the time of Corona and features earnest performances from the leads-Arjun Asokan and Samyuktha Menon and a third actor who I will not name to preserve the movie's suspense.
Despite the right elements in the setup and the confrontation, the script crumbles in the third act, where the intended resolution to the key challenges in the plot comes off as too simplistic and weak.
Malayalam has delivered stellar work like Joji and C U Soon despite being constrained by single location corona-time shoots, so cannot give this effort a pass.
Not recommended. A so-called thriller that had no requisite thrills.
