Spoiler alert! Don't bother!! Talk about a letdown!! The Counselor was one of my most anticipated movies to see this year with it's all-star cast featuring the likes of Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem to name just a few. The film starts off with an intense bedroom scene between Cruz and co-star Michael Fassbender- and any time Penelope is in a bedroom scene I'm all for it! However her climax was ironically the climax of the entire movie as the film drudged on a pathetically predictable plot and in my opinion unsolicited and needlessly graphic scenes as you simply wait for character after character to meet their doom.
I had such high expectations for this film based on the trailers and aside from getting to hear Penelope Cruz in the throes of passion and watching a very sexy-looking Cameron Diaz strut about and give new meaning to the common art of cleaning a car's windshield (yes Cameron you can wipe mine anytime) I left the theatre feeling $15 poorer and thinking "I should have just had a glass of V8" Don't bother but if you do save your money and wait for it on cable.
