Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz star in this suspense thriller about the drug trade.
"The Counselor" is rated R and runs one hour and 51 minutes.
Here's what the critics are saying:
Deep inside “The Counselor” are facets of a good story about morality overtaken by greed. There are also good actors prowling about, trying to make the best of the often ridiculous execution. — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
The Counselor looks as gorgeous as its cast, with plenty of raking light across Southwestern landscapes. But for a movie that’s meant to be contemporary there’s an oddly retro vibe going on. — Mary Pois, Time
Despite its scaldingly hot cast and formidable writer/director combination, The Counselor is simply not a very likable or gratifying film. In fact, it's a bummer. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
About 115 minutes into the 117-minute running time of “The Counselor,” I wasn’t 1,000 percent sure where everyone was and what they were doing and why they were doing it — and that’s a beautiful thing. — Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
