Cameron Diaz, The Counselor

When I just first saw the trailer of The Counselor I deemed it as an important movie picture. Indeed, which project can say it has Javier Bardem, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Penélope Cruz, Brad Pitt within its cast being written by the author of No Country for old men and The Road, Cormac McCarthy,  being directed as well by Ridley Scott?

Still, as secondary actors,  also appears Bruno Ganz that left us speechless when he appeared on German movie Der Untergang (Downfall) acting as a declining Adolf Hitler, the brilliant Rosie Pérez who was the main star of Alex de la Iglesia movie Perdita Durango also with Javier Bardem therein and the superb Natalie Dormer who renders a perfect interpretation in Game of Thrones as the new wife of sadistic king Joffrey.

Everything was promising and even though a story about drugs it is not the most original matter on the world it always involve solid stories of struggle and power. However, when I read the  reviews I did not remember a movie with so much negative unity between them, Time Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone.. all of them panned it. I consequence,  I went to see The Counselor a little bit frightened but the result is not so bad and it turned out a positive experience.

What is more, the performance of Cameron Diaz is so fabulous that she deserves recognition. She has never had good luck with the movie roles she has been into and thanks to this particular one she has reached her highest peak. Couple world of Javier Bardem and Cameron Diaz is of an easy life, plenty of luxury, wealth, power, ostentation. Couple Michael Fassbender and Penélope Cruz are much more humble and modest.

There are some hot scenes with Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz that have been widely talking of but they are not so special as a matter of fact. Likewise, Michael Fassbender is no so perfect here, neither Penelope Cruz. Brad Pitt is Ok. What makes the movie dazzle is the two performances of Cameron Diaz and Javier Bardem.

The Counselor Cameron DiazThe Counselor is a dense movie that does not move fast and it is as if it were made of Eight or Nine conversations, independent each between them, show something philosophical, to instruct you, not all of them achieve its purpose, besides, the directing and the screenplay go different ways in the sense that are not very good connected. It promises far much more that finally gives but has positive aspects and has an interesting ending

 Even though the language of the screenplay is dissimilar to of an screenplay the movie in the end is not so horrible, in my opinion The Counselor is well presented and made, it is true that given they have such important actors they should have formed a big great one but The Counselor it is not a failed movie nor so negative. Perhaps some people are to dislike it because it is even too intellectual and slow, but from there to say it is horrible there is a world along. In short,  The Counselor has numerous positive aspects amongst them
