EW's GRADE

D+

Details Limited Release: Aug 18, 2006; Rated: R; Length: 110 Minutes; Genres: Crime, Drama, Mystery; With: Val Kilmer, James Marsden, Piper Perabo and Giovanni Ribisi

OVER-THE-TOP GUNMAN Ribisi (center) has a blast as a psycho tough guy, but otherwise Wolf is a howler

Giovanni Ribisi, with pasty skin and hair slicked back like Dracula's, plays the sort of badass goombah psychopath who smashes a bottle in your face first and asks questions later. The actor seems to be having a good time in 10th & Wolf, but, like everyone around him, he could almost be in a high school theater production of GoodFellas as staged by Rushmore's Max Fischer. At least Ribisi's fake-cojones histrionics are fun. The rest of this Donnie Brasco knockoff, with James Marsden as a Gulf War veteran who goes undercover, is a turgid, ketchup-spattered dud.
