About this movie

Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz sizzle in this action-packed thriller from visionary director Ridley Scott and acclaimed writer Cormac McCarthy. A savvy lawyer (Fassbender) known for doing the right thing for the wrong people dives into a treacherous drug deal for some quick cash...but he soon learns that having it all could mean losing everything.

I wish I read the other reviews before purchase. I went for it as it had a good cast. God this film is boring. You keep thinking ' ok it's going to kick in now and get exciting' It doesn't. Its dead! Dead boring. At some point you realise dam its an anticlimax film, not to mention embarrassingly banal. Brad Pitt needs to ask himself what he's doing, this is the second terrible film I've seen him in, lately. Don't judge a book by this cover, it's just a load of rubbish. Insanely boring. Bardem was interesting but not worth torturing your self with sheer boredom not to mention a waste of a good fiver to see him. I'm still shaking my head, it was a joke.

Maybe is because I personally love the writing of McCarthy, I liked this movie a lot. Ridley Scott has his up and downs in choosing the story, sometimes, but in this case, you have the perfect mix of a good story and the great visuals of one of the greatest directors of our time. All the characters are in their place, fantastic photography and great editing. To watch.

Worst film I've seen in a long time. The cast list promises a lot. This film fails to deliver. Boring, incomprehensible, non exsistent plot - awful. If I could give it no stars I would!
