The Counselor


How can you have all of these great actors and the movie turns out to be a flop?
The Counselor is about a  lawyer, who is just about to get married, finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking. The lawyer is played by Michael Fassbender who has been great in X-Men & Shame but not so much here. Director Ridley Scott is also great but he ends up putting in too much dialogue between the chracters which left me exhausted and bored. It felt like a Quetin Tarantino movie without his flair for words and editing.
This movie is predictable and an enormous waste of time for all involved including the audience.

Verdict:
Humongous failure.
