Here's the movie's dialogue in short. Fassbender: "Analogy". Bardem: "Metaphor, veiled threat." Diaz: "Philosophical musing? Veiled threat. Weird face." Pitt: "Analogy! Anecdote." Fassbender: "Desperation! Metaphor." Bardem: "Analogy!" [INSERT CRAZY-ASS DECAPITATION SCENE] Diaz: "Analogy."

In most universes, a hot blonde fucking a car windshield would signify the pinnacle of entertainment--would mark the point at which civilizations reach cultural and spiritual enlightenment and transcend to a higher plane of existence. This, unfortunately, is not one of those universes.

By the time it's over you realize this is more blood curdling and wicked than any horror tale. But it sneaks up on you. It's like Savages, Blow and Traffic all rolled into one that reaches out and punches you in the throat with the scope and depth of the cold blooded darkness it portrays. It disarms you from the beginning with the extensive normality in it's engaging dialogue, it's interesting characters and even humor, especially one scene involving a Ferrari. But even knowing this I doubt anyo

"Have you been bad?" Convoluted and pitch black. It's amazing how one decision can lead to getting caught in purgatory, which is exactly what happens to the titular counselor. The word 'cautionary' is floated directly several times, both in reference to a diamond and to his treading into unfamiliar and dangerous waters. It's all connected. It may try your patience, with sequences seemingly disconnected from the narrative, and there is some fat to trim, but its bleak reality is properly realized

I'm really not sure what I watched. Heavy handed dialogue that is dressed up to seem deep when it's mostly gibberish. The plot feels nonsensical, mostly because they are as vague as possible when explaining what's happening or how anyone knows each other. Diaz was either miscast or made horrible choices, I couldn't tell which. The others were fine I guess.

Undoubtedly the most nihilistic work ever to come from Scott's hand, but knowing McCarthy, this is hardly surprising. Plot wise it's fairly clichéd (bordering on uninspired), but then again, the plot don't seem to matter as much, as the style, the musings on choice and consequences, the colorful characters and overall themes of "Hell is a place in Mexico". No really... Don't go to Mexico... Holy fuck...

Ridley Scott's thriller about a drug deal gone very wrong features Cormac McCarthy's first, and hopefully last screenplay. Too many characters lack a meaningful identity; nearly all of them lack a meaningful motivation, the titular character (Michael Fassbender) in particular dipping into crime against nearly every visible facet of his character. The misogynistic tone only adds to the enervating feeling. A few very effective moments (and they are there) merely keep it from being any weaker.

This film ends up being just a bit too baffling. It doesn't nail down a coherent narrative, or even a coherent tone. The cast is great (bar Diaz) and most of the individual scenes feature well-written dialog which is entertaining to watch on its own. There's clearly potential in the script but they failed to bring it to fruition.

A brutal thriller that is Ridley Scott's most stylishly sensual work in years. Cormac McCarthy's script is a little too reliant on existential conversations and musings, but still offers a lot to chew on. Accusations from critics that the film is too bleak and sexist ring false to me. McCarthy has done bleak before and characters' actions don't signify that the film is acceptive of bad behaviour.

It's one of those movies that isn't super easy to watch. They don't explain everything, and some things don't come into focus until you're too far into the movie. Is this a fault or something that rewards a second viewing? Either way, the dialogue is witty, if overly philosophical at times. But you won't be bored and you'll think about this long after the credits roll. I wonder if I'll like the inevitable director's cut more.

Frequently didactic, as McCarthy is no screenwriter. But he is a phenomenal writer. This is a deal-gone-bad film in which the particulars of the deal or why it went bad (for comically capricious reasons) are irrelevant: what matters are the decisions that got these characters here, and their reactions when things go wrong. Easy to see why it was poorly received; it's grim and deeply fatalist. But damn, it's the most tense, harrowing and (strangely) funny dialogue-driven film I've seen all year.

McCarthy's slow-burning story of desire and violence tries hard to make its arguments not through compelling images, but literary dialogues and statements concerning people's power to create things -- and their incapacity to control the very world they created. And, by doing so, it mostly fails -- Scott's cheesy, kitsch visuals only work when The Counselor delivers blood (as in heads being chopped) and sex (or suggestions of both things, as Fassbender dramatic ending points out).

I was surprised to learn The Counselor got such a bad reception. Most reviewers seemed to be irritated by the lack of plot and excess of dialogue. Weirdly these are the same things that make me like this movie so much: the sparseness of the plot gives the movie a dreamlike quality, which - to me - seems like a necessary condition for the heavy and dark dialogues to work well. In this sense the movie reminds me of No Country for Old Men (unsuprisingly also written by McCarthy).

Some interesting elements but, despite its literariness, the script comes across as quite juvenile (especially the stuff about sex). This suggests blame may lie with the celebrated novelist responsible for the screenplay more than with the hackish director. Cruz was made to act out some awful if not indeed humiliating dialogue: she deserves better. Diaz was notably poor, but at least she had a double to take her place in the stupidest scene involving her character. Not too sure about McCarthy...

"The Counselor" is not the kind of movie you see if you don't want to think. That's the best way I can put it. The story is non-linear and unclear to put it mildly, you're kinda dropped in the middle of it to begin with, but some of the performances are such treats. Really, everyone is great, but you have to pay SUCH close attention to the dialogue. And it's a dialogue-heavy movie to boot. It's taxing on its audience, but the individual performances make it worth seeing, possibly more than once.

This is a movie with an attitude. "Don't understand what's happening? Tough luck, I'm just gonna go on explaining nothing at all." That's this movie. The dialogue doesn't always fit very well, and the characters aren't particularly deep, but both are also ever interesting and fun to watch. Some individual scenes are so extremely well done that they are a delight to watch (especially the shootout scene, some intense filmmaking right there). After two viewings, I can say I really like this movie.

A poetic piece of a deal gone bad. It's like dark chocolate. Not many people like it, but the people who do, purists, enjoy the bitter after taste. I watched the extended cut, deliberately. I'm quite sure there wasn't enough 'meat' in the theatrical cut for the people to fully understand what this film is about. The Counselor basically works like the bolito,mentioned by Bardem's character.It slowly tightens the noose, no escape possible. Accept your fate. Brilliant. Go and see the extended cut.

McCarthy's writing is often expectedly harrowing and meditative, but it just doesn't really translate to screen. Movies, unlike books, require a naturalness in their dialogue and performances which The Counselor just can't manage (no thanks to the unnecessary star-studded cast, many of which aren't accustomed to working with unconventional scripts). It's quite fascinating nonetheless, as long as you know what you're in for. Worth as many re-watches as you are able to put up with its unevenness.

This movie seemed right for me. I love dialog-driven, philosophical movies. I love Cosmopolis, for example. But here the philosophy was muddied with a plot that was incoherent and boring. Sometimes films are criticized for having dialog that gets in the way of the plot; here the plot got in the way of the dialog. By the end everything the characters were saying all sounded hamfisted and hokey. I like McCarthy, but this was a huge misstep.

A baffling mess. It appears to have some interesting ideas swimming around in its skull but Scott's uninspired direction and McCarthy's miserably unfocused screenplay fail at communicating them. And you wouldn't think that a violent crime film with such a byzantine plot, a cast of such esteemed actors (NONE of whom are used to full potential) and the first original screenplay by one of the greatest writers alive would be so fucking dull.

Great cast. Shocking and suspenseful, but the story is horribly told. The role of the counselor and the details of his nefarious dealings, and what went wrong is badly botched. Also, it often meanders into idiotic philosophy. The writers were trying too hard to be clever and to shock the viewer, and end up butchering the story and destroying its credibility. Engaging but ultimately just a long string of shocking scenes without a decent story behind them. Also, the ending was lousy.

Dialog that meanders and goes nowhere. Listening to Javier Bardem tell stories about Diaz fucking a car windshield sounds like a comedy sketchpiece instead of a meaningful moment in a movie. Cormac McCarthy is a gifted writer but his words simply do not work on film as he probably envisioned it in script form. The actors all piled on probably expecting brilliance but too much is wasted on gibberish like the 10 minute pillow talk between Fassbender/Cruz with no on screen chemistry involved.

Based on the extended blu-ray cut, the rhythmic editing is perhaps Pietro Scalia's best work yet. The shifts in tone and dreamlike pacing, strange plot digressions and loose ends, and McCarthy's by turns clever and far out delicious dialogues makes for a very nightmarish, like-trapped-in-quicksand view into human purgatory. To recall Hawks' wise words: "As long as you make good scenes you have a good picture, it doesn't matter if it isn't much of a story." Oh, and I loved Diaz in this.

The Counselor is one of the biggest failures I can recall. I had high expectations but this is bizarrely disappointing. It's a complete mystery how a film that's directed by Ridley Scott, written by Cormac McCarthy and stars the likes of Fassbender, Diaz, Bardem, Cruz & Pitt can fail so miserably. It's a simple story that over complicates itself and just rambles on and on. The characters are fun and the absolutely moronic dialogue is even funner. But ultimately it all amounts to nothing.

The movie opens with the most uninspired sex scene of all-time and carries on with throwing at you awkward, existential dialogues left and right. If I ever got chopped up by a Mexican cartel, I will at least feel that they have a strong philosophy behind it. The only character that I was mildly interested in was Brad Pitt's. Technically I found the whole movie quite shabby too, lots of big names in it but the end result is pretty underwhelming. 10 points to the cheetah next to the swimming pool.

Cameron Diaz plays a double crossing, murdering, drug dealing, psycopathic sex maniac with the same believability and gritty realism she exhibited as Amanda, from "the Holiday". You have to wonder who cast her in this and what their motives were? I suspect when the actors where doing their individual scenes it all seemed as if it was working fine, and the final cut would be a ferrari ( a CILF!), but because the whole script was based only around 2 good ideas for murder, its actually a Trabant

Reiner himself was exposed to some of that sort of sexual content, and he tells the Counselor he would love to be able to unsee what he saw. But he doesn't have that option. None of us do, really. Our choices have consequences--even when they involve "just" seeing a movie. (pluggedin.com)

The Counselor is the type of film that demands multiple viewings, just so that you can get your head around exactly what's being said, the importance of that dialogue, and how it relates to everything else (if it even does). It will benefit from home video, where pausing, rewinding, and jotting down particular lines will aid in understanding. It's not action-packed, it's not thrilling, and it's far too unfocused with its philosophical perspectives to work well on a single viewing.

The Counselor is a disappointment. Its narrative is clumsy and I was hardly affected by the more "meaningful" dialogue. At points I had no idea who certain characters were and what they wanted. The acting is decent for what the actors were given (very little) except for Cameron Diaz who seems terribly miscast and whose character is probably the least defined of the bunch. I liked the score and some of the violence is interesting, but ultimately the film fails to live up to expectations.

An uncomfortable, chilling movie that made me sick to my stomach by the end of it. McCarthy's screenplay is absolutely stunning, as long as it's being read by the actors that get it. (Fassbender, Cruz, and Blades.) The people who don't, like Diaz, drag it down terribly. It's true to Cormac McCarthy's pedigree, in any case: Just like his novels, it's a difficult but ultimately rewarding experience.

So much of this movie is wasted on dialogue that does not progress the plot to it's eventual destination.

McCarthy must have had a rocky relationship with a lawyer, inspiring him to write this story about a lawyer who seems incapable of giving advice to anyone, and instead seeks counsel from anyone who will give it--good or bad. The counselor's lack of moral center leads him down a path of increasing wretchedness and ruin. This portrait of human greed and hubris is par for the course for McCarthy (lots of Border Trilogy echoes here), though the lengthy monologues probably read better than they play.

There is a purity to this stark minimalism that can only come from a writer who in Pitt's words "has seen it all". So does it matter that the characters are abstractions? That there is a feeling of pointlessness to the story? I'd say no, because McCarthy asks, as always: "What is this world?"

Slowly unraveling in its inherit nastiness and world-weary nihilism (not usual for McCarthy), this is an effective and darkly quirky crime-thriller, often eschewing important (but not essential) plot points in favour of stories about car-fucking or something hedonistic like that. The dialogue is usually incredibly lyrical and, although it gives the film a brittle quality hard enough to knock against, I thought it added to this film's unusual flavour.

There are a few standout reasons why this was panned 1) Diaz, her performance is so bad when her character is so crucial. It'd be like Chigurh played by Justin Long. Her final monologue esp. is terrible 2) The tone comes across as capriciously cruel, punctuated by bizarre sexual antics 3) The plot is meandering, suffering in comparison to the taut NCFOM. On the plus side it's even more thematically damning than NC, at times an extremely black comedy. Fassbender & Bardem are as usual outstanding.

The writer Cormac McCarthy might need some counseling of his own. This movie was just a little too weird for my tastes. First, it has way too much philosophizing in it. Enough to start getting on my nerves. It also has a pretty terrible ending. Plus what the heck is up with Cameron Diaz in this?...

Ridley Scott plus a good cast I thought this movie would be good. Nope!

Good actors' film. The phylosophical themes touched by McCarthy were great, but more suited for paper, rather than film.

This wasn't as bad as a lot of people were saying, but I wouldn't call it a complete success either. The story's quite cool - dark & quirky. It's a bit let down by Scott's direction, though. It all feels a bit messy & without structure. I enjoyed individual scenes more than the movie as a whole. The cast is a strength, though. It might be Cameron Diaz's best dramatic performance, but she still feels out of place. It's not really something I'd recommend unless you're a fan of the talent involved.

Diaz is thoroughly unlikable in this and thank god they made her re-record her dialogue as with a Barbados accent she would have made it unwatchable. It's very monologuey, and some of them are pretentious twaddle, but the film has plenty of good moments and funny stories too. Don't expect everything, or anything, to be explained.
