The Counselor (2013)
Directed by Ridley
Scott this film stars Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron
Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt. A lawyer decides to enter the drug
trade despite warnings from others.
This film is heavy on
the dialogue and low on action but is an enjoyable slow burner. There
is some nice thematic depth even if the film does advance the fairly
basic idea that to take part in the drug trade is to be accessory to
all the dark crimes involved. Having a really great cast helps but at
times some of the long bits of dialogue that seem irrelevant do drag
on a little too long for my taste.
4/5
