Running
time: 118 minutes
A high-level lawyer, known only as The
Counselor, gets in way over his head after getting involved in a deal prepared
by a Mexican drug cartel. Soon, he and his soon-to-be-wife find themselves in
grave danger.
Considering all the talent involved, both in
the director’s chair and in the cast, I expected so much more out of this film.
Unfortunately, what I got was a convoluted mess of a story and very
unspectacular acting. Cameron Diaz was particularly unconvincing in her role.
Javier Bardem, who is usually great, was bland here.
Overall, The Counselor felt to me like an
absolute waste of time. I made it to the end, and I was happy when it ended.
