The Counselor

I don’t even know what to think. The second hour is much better than the first, with the first being pure buildup. This movie explains absolutely nothing, which I don’t really mind. The issue is it allowed the protagonist's circumstances to be up to imagination. I really like the brutality of the movie. Micheal Fassbender and Penelope Cruz were the highlights. But to be fair the acting was nothing spectacular. The ending was good, but the movie just is so unresolved. The idea of how one bad decision can destroy your life was executed kind of just averagely, some highs though. So overall it’s a really just ok movie, but the brutality and some of the moments are good. I want to say 31/2, but it’s really in all honesty a 3.
