Entertainment Reviews:
Scott is a fine fit for this tale of cutthroat backdoor business. The film looks spectacular... -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
Rating: B- --
The filmmakers seem to have been going for both, but despite their great cast, the characters aren't allowed sufficient breathing room for us to believe in them enough to care.

Assignment X
Rating: 2/5 --
The narrative pings around as meaninglessly and entertainingly as a pinball machine at first, but the comic timing feels off ...

Rating: F --
The Counselor is a horrifying reminder that even the best of us are capable of bad, bad things.

The Reader (Omaha, NE)
The Counselor has too much dialogue and too many stars all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Maclean's Magazine
Mr. Scott has seized your attention with a primitive, predatory vision, one red in tooth and claw.
New York Times
The Counselor is a colossal waste of (mostly) talented pretty people, revealed as mere puppets to over baked material, and perhaps evidence that great prose does not always translate into great screenplays.

Product Description:
Ridley Scott's THE COUNSELOR, from a script by Cormac McCarthy, stars Michael Fassbender as the title character, a slick lawyer who is madly in love with Laura (Penelope Cruz). He asks her to marry him, and she agrees, though she is unaware that serious financial troubles have prompted him to fund a drug deal with a shady but established middle man named Westray (Brad Pitt), that could bring in millions. Part of the counselor's financial troubles stem from the fact that he's investing in a club being opened by his best friend Reiner (Javier Bardem), a hedonist and occasional client who has attained his wealth by any means necessary, and likes to keep his wife, Malkina (Cameron Diaz) covered in all the accoutrements the wealthy enjoy. However, when the drug deal starts to go wrong, the counselor finds himself unprepared to deal with the fallout, and soon he's trying to protect his bride-to-be as well as himself from the wrath of a drug cartel that has no qualms about exacting revenge.
