Strange movie. Vapid self-serving characters. I found it dull and boring and representing the worst of humanity.

I watched this because of a recent article in The Guardian suggesting that it deserves to be “reconsidered.” It doesn’t. It’s a piece of cynical nihilism that did not merit the attention of its famous director and cast. It left me…

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare! Fyodor Dostoevsky

I watched it twice. It wasn't worth it. Bad acting and a lousy plot made me want the strangler ball to be administered to the rest of the cast and crew.

Awful....just awful. What a waste of time (mine) and talent (theirs).

I never thought I would see a movie that I hated more than Tyler Perry's "Acrimony", but this one takes the cake. I was so shocked and disappointed with all the talent that went into making this film, and I see I'm not alone.

A powerful parable on choices and consequences, greed, worth of life — and worthlessness of death. Definitely not entertainment, but quite a strong message that may be hard to swallow in the culture of “I do what I want”. The most…

A genius, empty attempt to mesh Faust with the drug wars. Awful, and yet I can still hear the drug lord talking on the phone about the life that you have chosen, that cannot be undone. What was he smoking? I would sell my soul for some.

I lost track of who was doing what to whom and/or what for so I turned it off. Don't waste your time.

A nicely crafted drug running film starring Michael Fassbinder, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, and Penelope Cruz. Throw in Bruno Ganz, Ruben Blades, and Rosie Perez and you would have to be a really, really inept director to waste…

Wow. A movie with this much pedigree should not have been such a mutt! So Sad.

Going against the grain of the other comments, but I liked the story. Not a typical Hollywood story. And Diaz is great.

Why I can't place a hold if there are 132 copies and 104 are available.

Umm....I wish someone would explain the first half of the movie, because nothing makes sense. Slow and jubbled. Not even exciting when you know everything is ruined. First time I have ever seen Cameron Diaz look sexy and first time I saw…

Disjointed pretentious twaddle and without a single character worth caring about. Unlikely people and clunky unlikely "profound" dialogue.

A convoluted story of a lawyer who finds himself caught-up in in a nasty web of drug traffickers (including sellers in Mexico, the shippers, the buyers, the cartel and distributors). Meanwhile, a crew of "apparent" freelancers are trying…

Terrible. Just terrible.

one of the worst movies i have ever seen.. it was going no where.

As you would expect with Cormac McCarthy, this is a dark story with an implacable plot. A star-loaded cast does a generally good job, with Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt standing out. The philosophical message is hinted at throughout, but…

Lots of Shakespearean mumbo jumbo from a drug deal gone wrong. The holier than thou players/smugglers don't their misbegotten reality until it's too late. If you like talky dialogue this is the movie for you.

Grimm and dark, indeed. :-)

Cormac McCarthy's latest exploration of nihilism is THE COUNSELOR (2013), a movie directed by the great Ridley Scott. It is a film devoted to the savagery and wealth-worship that rules the present age. The final scene has Cameron Diaz's…

To slow for an action movie but too fast for a psychological drama. Good cast, meh script - you kind of knew how it was going to turn out, but the ominous foreshadowing was more annoying than good. Was also a bit confusing - maybe it's me,…

Grim, grim... A wonderfully dark film; one to give you pause... a thriller. The subject matter is so for-real (greed); the violence so inescapable, inevitable - it's no wonder that this film evokes such widely-divergent feelings. If you're…
