Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

joeshields A decent story, good acting, but for a good number of people who have spent any time in Philly and/or Pittsburgh, ... you can't pull off calling Pittsburgh 'Philadelphia' (anymore then you can call Philadelphia 'Pittsburgh'). Both cities are great locations for movies... but just because they both happen to be in Pennsylvania, you can't interchange them -- geographically, architecturally they are distinctively unique (even if you leave the "Youse Guys" and the "Younse" accents out of it). Had South Philly's "Rocky" been filmed in Pittsburgh but pawned off as Philly it wouldn't be the classic it became, (nor conversely would the "Deer Hunter") it would have been ruined. I don't know how much better "10th & Wolf" would have been if the geography matched the story, but for me it would have been more believable.

manfrini12 This film is clever, concise, and to the point. It takes a 'played out' story and adds a new twist from a different angle via the point of view of a young man who was born into the mobster life style. It is certainly not to be rated or viewed while being weighed against morality, so some of the previous comments were irrelevant. If you want something sharp, and original (And, yes, mobster movies can still be original), then check this film out! 10th and Wolf tells the tail of a young marine who finds himself in military prison, being made a deal to go back home and back to his criminal ways in an attempt to bring the mob down and save face for his brother and cousin. As the offer continuously changes, and the corrupt cops eagerly change their threatening approaches the young main character must decide which side he falls on. Will he choose good, evil, or something in between? Great film with cameo appearances delivered brilliantly by Val Kilmer and Dennis Hopper. I watch a lot of film and would rate this one rather highly.

dickknows I just rented the DVD and was looking forward to seeing it after the preview. It had to be the directing because it was almost good. Renfro was a victim of multiple personalities and Ribisi , although I wanted him to do well, was just over the top ridiculous. And yes the cameos by Kilmer and others were so short that it felt forced and just dropped in because they were available for a few hours. I should have known it was a stinker because there really wasn't any buzz about this film. I don't know what film these other people were watching but this was pretty bad . there were just to many things wrong with this film to name. Maybe a division of Wal-Mart started making movies. Its the only way to explain the decent cast and terrible outcome.I'm sure you will agree.

BrookeHMD While living in Pittsburgh when 10th and Wolf was being filmed, I eagerly awaited its release, but never heard anything about it. After recently renting it, I loved the film. I feel that it's equivocal to a modern day Goodfellas; so why haven't I heard anything about this movie? Why haven't more people seen it, I wonder? The acting is top-notch, with great cinematography as well. I think this has been James Marsden's best work to date, and his character is very well developed throughout the plot. It just seems like a shame that there are 40 copies of Failure to Launch, but only two copies of Tenth and Wolf at my local Blockbuster.
