Review of The Counselor (2013) by Dodds44 — 25 Nov 2013

Awful, boring, dry, vague, obvious. These are the words I use to describe this wasted opportunity. This film just begs to ask the question. Where did they go wrong. They had a great cast with a great director.

Ridley Scott has unfortunately lost it in his years lately, with duds like Prometheus and Robin Hood. This was the last nail in the coffin for me. Ridley Scott has not made a good movie in a very long time and it makes me really sad how he was given a script by such a great writer, a fantastic cast and came up with this.

The film just feels like a wasted opportunity on his part. He had so much talent but he lazily forgot that he had to work in order to make it good.
