Review of The Counselor (2013) by Rick G — 07 Jul 2014

Saw this film and the description in the Tomatometer is right on the money. Kept waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. It was like watching the way this scenario would play out in real life.

Terrible things happened, but they just happened. No suspense, no anything. I'm not a writer or a film maker so I am still trying to figure out what it was that so many talented people were trying to do with this.

Is there something I don't get? If someone can explain what made this film artistically brilliant in some way please feel free to enlighten me. I seriously would like to understand. It's like it had all the elements it needed but none of them were used to their fullest potential.

Frustrating.
