Product Description

Product Description

Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) have joined forces in The Counsellor, starring Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Brad Pitt. McCarthy - making his screenwriting debut - and Scott interweave the author's characteristic wit and dark humour with a nightmarish scenario, in which a respected lawyer's one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal spirals out of control.

4.0 out of 5 starsA bad film, or a film about badness?
By Mr Welly on 18 Dec. 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Firstly, i have to say that there should be a rating for "I don't know if I liked it or not." That is the immediate reaction elicited by this film. In provoking a troublesome confusion, however, I think it has achieved its purpose, If you want Hollywood simplicity, the victory of good over evil, or just a good old fashioned neat resolution, look elsewhere - or prepare to be disappointed.

Here's the thing, though (and I'll try not to completely spoil it if you're reading this before watching): the viewer is left to contemplate the the unresolved situation of the protagonist. He is probably, to coin a phrase, a dead man walking. Perhaps, though, he is not. Not in the sense that his imminent death is inevitable, but that he believes it to be the case. Furthermore, he has lost all that he valued and is left walking alone in a horrible that is partly of his own creation; which is pretty much what the bad guy on the end of the phone tells him when he begs for help. Perhaps this is his fate; to spend his days fearing a retributional death that is not coming and in doing so, forfeiting any real life?

The message is probably as complex, or as simple as you wish to make it, like life and the human condition. On the one hand you might invite yourself to consider the complexities of illegal markets in the 21st century and the spider's web of victims that suffer because the spiders of this world always want more money, On the other hand you can simply accept that bad stuff happens if you get involved in dealing drugs. All very Shakespearian, in a way, except with guns, cars and diamond wearing cheetahs instead of iambic pentameter and choreographed swordplay.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsAll fur coat and no knickers
By daveycreatrix on 14 Dec. 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
With such an A list cast and Ridley Scott at the helm, you could be excused for making the assumption that this could be a decent film.
However this is absolutely not the case, since the plot and the screenplay are such self-indulgent, narcissistic and frankly boring twaddle.
The plot such as it is revolves around Michael Fassbender becoming inexplicably involved in a Mexican drug run presumably because of his status as a 'Counselor' or lawyer and inside information he has gained from this, although this is never properly revealed and how and what his part actually is in the deal is extremely dubious. The involvement of Javier Bardem is equally vague as he gads around with his badass 'cheetah girl' girlfriend Cameron Diaz hunting hares with their pet cheetahs. He has endless soliloquies with the protagonist Fassbender on various philosophical issues mainly revolving around his girlfriend and in particular one incident involving her having sex with his yellow Ferrari which he describes as like watching a low life bottom sucker catfish, no kidding. Brad Pitt has more of a cameo role wearing a ten gallon hat and eulogizing about how he has foreseen bad times coming and will eventually get away from it all and escape to a monastery which he fails to accomplish due to a mechanical garrote. Other than Cameron Diaz failing in her attempt to hijack the drug run with her sidekicks which also involves garroting a motor cyclist and poor innocent Penelope Cruz (Fassbenders girlfriend) coming to a sticky end there is something about diamonds I never really got and more interminably naff philosophical gangster chat. Half way through the film I had lost patience but my partner felt that it would all be explained at the end, needless to say it wasn't. If any of this sounds appealing I can assure you the overall result is just pointless. Think more Waiting for Godot than Tarantino or Breaking Bad.

2.0 out of 5 starsAmbitious and intelligent but less than the sum of its parts - and not exactly thrilling
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 29 Sept. 2014
Format: DVD
“Life is not going to take you back. You are the world you have created. And when you cease to exist, this world that you have created will also cease to exist.”

The Counselor is one of those films where it’s easy to see why it attracted such an impressive cast - everybody gets at least one good scene and some great metaphorical dialogue - but leaves you wondering why no-one seemed to notice it’s considerably less than the sum of its parts. It’s more a series of conversations about the philosophy of crime and the morality of those even peripherally involved in drug running than a thriller, but the story remains elusive and there’s no real momentum or mounting dread as Michael Fassbender’s lawyer who’s involved in a one-off drug deal with Javier Bardem’s flamboyant dealer and Brad Pitt’s middle man finds he’s increasingly out of his depth as things inevitably go wrong. Focussing primarily on the facilitators and intermediaries, the nature of the deal is deliberately vague lest it get in the way of the purple prose, some of which is good but perhaps too much feels like it’s simply taking the film off on tangents. By the last third after the bodies start multiplying and heads literally roll courtesy of the unseen and omnipotent cartel while any interest the film promised curiously threatens to diminish, things moves into metaphysical territory in a lengthy phone conversation with Rueben Blades that is probably the best scene in the film before Fassbender ends up in Graham Greeneland having to accept that there’s no forgiveness, redemption or salvation in the future he has written himself. Inbetween, Cameron Diaz’s cheetah loving femme fatale (“Are you really that cold?Read more ›

What can I add (yawn). An all star line up and a Ridley Scott film to boot. And this film needs to be booted into touch. We gave up watching and decided to observe paint drying.
