The Counselor
Despite all the negative reviews I went to see this. I actually enjoyed it a lot. It reminded me a bit of Traffic and No Country for Old Men.
I understand a lot of people bitch about how much the characters wax philosophical. I for one would rather hear dialogue that's a little too high minded than listen to the drivel present in most movies. The plot detail are also sparse, and the film leaves you to fill in the blanks, but again, I'd say this is a plus not a minus. I'd like to think Cormac McCarthy and Ridley Scott think the viewer is intelligent enough to put the pieces together without being led by the hand.
But a lot of people will probably think it's boring/pointless/confusing, but for me, I'd rather watch a flawed crime film written by Cormac McCarthy than any other Hollywood dross any day of the week.
however, Cameron Diaz is pretty hard to believe in her role
