First time I saw Wolf more than ten years ago. I barely remembered anything more than Jack Nicholson's supercool performance. So, it was nice rediscover.
If you take Wolf as a serious horror film you probably get huge disappointment. But if you take it more like a satire about back- stabbing-ass-kissing-sweet-revenge world we live in today, then you'll probably get huge enjoyment out of this.
The story about strife between the two co-workers in the publishing house is cleverly mixed with the werewolf story. The dialog is witty and there are many cool quotable lines (I've been offered a choice between no job and a job no one would want.)
As a pure horror film Wolf fails because it goes maybe too melodramatic at times and there isn't much shocking moments in it. Though the Gothic views over nocturnal New York were very classic horror moves. But as a satire Wolf works almost perfectly. And Wolf is one of the few movies that leave some questions unsolved but I feel satisfied about it (usually I want all the answers in the end).
Overall, Wolf is enjoyable drama but not so much of the horror film.
