The movie is an interesting attempt to create a captivating story, but fails to leave the viewer satisfied with what motivates the characters and what is the source of all the cold-hearted rage that results in so much senseless death. The only beam of light is that the author of the wolf novel evades death as he is carried along this path of destruction that had no beginning or ending. It is a movie worth seeing for movie buffs, but the average viewer would be dismayed by the ambiguity of the story.
