    The Counselor



    Saw this last night, what a fantastic film! With so many great movies coming out lately it is hard to pick one single favorite. This movie has it all and is directed to perfection by Ridley Scott.

    Cameron Diaz...believe it or not steals this movie, however everyone in it is incredible. But Diaz's performance truly stands out.

    The story is complex and keeps you guessing. The writing for this film is excellent which really isn't surprising for McCarthy (No Country For Old Men . ).

    And of course awesome behind the camera work from Scott as always. Not much coming out in the horror genre worth dropping cash on this Halloween. But if you want to go to the theater this is a must see.

    Pretty MEH movie. I'm guessing it's because I saw the extended cut, but there are just so many boring scenes with nothing but pointless excessive dialogue that adds little-to-nothing to further the plot. Took about an hour to get remotely interesting and once things do pick up we're given scene after scene of characters making silly decisions up until the very end. On top of that a lot of things aren't really explained, they just simply are, so we have to just accept things and go along with the ride, which sadly is a bumpy one. 6/10
