Wolves rated R for bloody violence throughout and some sexuality



I came across this movie after discovering that I had channels that I didn't know that I had.  I was intrigued by the plot and because Jason Momoa is in it.
Cayden Richards (played by Lucas Till) is a fairly typical teenager in high school with everything going for him until he starts to experience physical and emotional changes that are anything but typical for anyone let alone a teenager. The changes include him feeling and being stronger as well as feeling "out of control" in moments of pleasure and anger. After his parents are brutally murdered, Cayden immediately assumes that he is responsible as a result of his changes  and flees his home.  In the grip of anger he finds that he changes into a werewolf.
As he journeys through town after town, he comes across a guy named Wild Joe (played by John Pyper-Ferguson) who directs him to a town named Lupine Ridge to find out more about his past and thus find answers to his current problem.
On his first night in Lupine Ridge Cayden crosses paths with the beautiful and mysterious Angelina (played by Merritt Patterson) as well as the secretive but kind John Tollerman (played by Stephen McHattie).  Cayden unintentionally gets the attention of the enigmatic, dangerous Connor Savage (played by Jason Momoa).  It quickly becomes apparent that Lupine Ridge holds many answers to Cayden's past but it is also full of peril for Cayden and those that he befriends.
I went into this movie with low expectations and thus wasn't disappointed.  The story was pretty good.  The acting was pretty good.  And if you're a fan ofJason Momoa like me, I don't think that you will be disappointed.  I feel like this is a great "popcorn" movie and worth watching at least once.
