The Counselor
It is the story of that lawyer who has found himself in a disastrous situation that is completely changing the course of his life. The events begin with the lawyer, who finds himself involved in a drug-racking case where things turn and he has to prove his innocence completely.

It's like a mumblecore movie about a bunch of Sarah Lawrence philosophy majors, made by coked-up rich people for 100 bajillion dollars.

A great writer's pompous idea of pulp fiction, treated with stultifying seriousness by everyone else involved.

With the exception of Bardem's hilarity, Fassbender's plumbing the depths of great grief, and Pitt and Rubén Blade's gangster poetics, the word for the film overall is 'Meh.'

The Counselor is the cumbersome end product of a high-minded writer trying to slum and a slick director aiming for cosmic depth.

[McCarthy] reminds us (with a particularly American sensibility) that this world is broken and tragic and not fair, and that pushing past that fact too fast is an error we can't afford to make, for the good of our souls.

A masterful film, one that succeeds in conveying the nature of a cold, uncaring cosmos with remorseless tenacity.

At least Bardem continues to make the case that he doesn't have a bad performance in him, even in a film as lackluster as this.

The movie is full of odd one-on-one conversations that may exasperate those who want the film to get to the point, but the dialogue is the point.

For all its perceptible pleasures, one's left to ask how well-served any of its talents were in the first place.

Each scene serves as little more than an index card for the mechanistic plot, which Scott films in a glossy and fluid style befitting an industrial promotion for the movie's high-tech weaponry.
