Phina B The councelor deserves so much more acclaim than it received. It doesn't follow the typical Hollywood plot and storytelling style, despite being Hollywood star-studded. Ridley Scott, did the world a solid..the kills are memorable and unlock new fears, it's an absolute favorite of mine. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review tim s Despite a cast of this caliber, I can't remember a single thing about this film. All I can recall is that I couldn't follow the plot due to how shoddy it is. If you can't sleep and are out of sleep aids, watch this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Blu B So this might be a candidate for one of the worst Ridley Scott films I've seen. Like this is there with Exodus Gods & Kings. At least that made sense. The editing and pacing are both terrible here. This jumps around way too much between Fassbender, Diaz, generic Cartel Gangmembers, and sometimes I don't even know. It's like taking a lawyer trying to get his wife back from drug cartel people I think and like giving you a Robert Altman style multiple storylines of people involved with the drug trade behind the scenes. And I reiterate I THINK that what's happening here because it just straight is incoherent at times. How each intersected with the other I could not tell you. The acting isn't good and it's because of one major culprit. The dialouge...good god the dialouge is terrible. It's either like hearing grown adults talk like kids, plot expose, speaking in riddles, or just straight meandering and rambling nonstop. I swear the first 40 minutes is just nonstop dialouge and it's soooo boring. The cinematography isn't good either. It's just boring medium shots have the time and people just talking and talking and more freakin talking. This would be better if the dialouge was worth something but it isn't and the story is just a complete incoherent unfocused mess. It's like trying to be like Sicario type thing with multiple storylines. The music is boring generic and forgettable. The direction is alright I guess. There is legit 2-3 minutes of action total too and I just don't even know how it really adds in to things. It's a complete unclear mess. Skip This. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Esteban M An amazing essay on raw life. Not an action film, rather the only bits of action it has I guess were left there because the story couldn't have been told otherwise. It certainly moves one out of their comfort zone, specially knowing the cast before watching it. Bit it surprises with names in completely unexpected and uneasing roles and vibes. Just remember to blink from time to time Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Jeroen J Watched it for a second time last night. Loved it more than the first time (at the time of release). Diaz isn't convincing and maybe Cruz would have been the better cast for that role. Bardem and Fassbender are great but miss a Brad Pitt in form. He seems not really into it somehow Still well worth a watch for the tone of the movie and the writing by McCarthy.
