Review of The Counselor (2013) by Kevin M — 20 Mar 2014

This movie is an absolute waste of time. There are very few scenes that are worth watching. The rest are a collection of non sequiturs that pose as clever yet I have absolutely nothing to do with the movie as a whole. The dialogue is hardly worth listening to yet given that it is performed by an eclectic cast of heavy hitters, I would've thought that at least some respect could've been paid to anyone involved, from the actors to the audience.

I'm surprised the movie has a rating as high as it does. I'm shocked that such a highly acclaimed director along with a highly acclaimed cast could come together and produce such a first rate bomb. Whatever you might be thinking this movie is from watching the trailer, I assure you it isn't. That is the problem with it: there just isn't anything here.
