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.

Judging from the reviews, most of the people commenting should stick to the Michael Bay genre of movies with loud noises and bright lights that hold their attention span for more than 3 minutes or don't S.P.E.L.L. out an entire plot to the point of redundancy. This isn't even that complicated of a plot it just has a weird ending that kind of abruptly ends mid thought. It's actually a really funny movie and has great acting from award winners. Leguizamo even makes a decent cameo. The cast is great...

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.
