Review of The Counselor (2013) by Tiamineta — 08 Feb 2014
After you wach this movie you can feel a hole into your stomach.This is not a movie is a greek tragedy. a very sad poem converted into a movie.The traffic of narchotics is just a background. it could be any other one.Is not a matter of good and bad like a police movie.is a matter of destiny.You have to read Faulkner or melville or kafka to understand and feel and touch the greatness of some tragedies.We put together two genius like ridley Scott and Cormac Maccarthy and the result is this shakesperian tragedy.
No matter the jumps or interruptions of the plot they are intentional to make your brain start to work.
There is a sense of emptiness and loneliness that you can almost touch with your fingertips.
The mesage is that we are puppets in the hands of a higher destiny.Its like the ancient greek tragedies where the humans are mere instruments in the hands of the gods.The druglords take the place of ancient gods.they are unreachable and nobody can discuss their decissions.Nobody can see them.
But you know they have eyes and slaves everywhere.
This is not a movie about drug traficking is about destiny,about human weaknesses and the evil they can bring into everybodys lives.
In short its not a movie for everybody but is great very great........... and also very devastating.
