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.

What a horrible pointless movie. A waste of time, and given the cast - a waste of talent. I thought there would be a plot - and there was, sort of - but what a mismash and morass. Completely vapid and without merit - I would rather undergo dental surgery that actually sit through 10 minutes of this waste of time again. Vapid hollywood - thinking they are highbrow, and really just churning out crap. Would that I could go lower than 1 star.

Tooo much. Too much slaughter, blood and guts, it's just all too unreal. I hated it and wasted 2 hours for something good to come out of it but never did.I really like most Ridley Scott movies but this one even with the big names reeked too much.

No wonder this movie bombed. This is a Ridley Scott experiment gone bad. I'm guessing he took the script and ripped every third page out before shooting. This isn't art, he's just messing with his audience.
