When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Don't waste your time! Pretentious garbage with over the top dialog, a plot full of holes. Garbage!

This is my first review in IMDb. And the only reason I write this review is that I think this film is underrated too badly. I like the plot, the direction, the action sequence, the screen play of this film. But what impressed me most is the moral decay and corruption of human beings, the ruthless jungle surviving rules. It escalates the height and remind me of the Greek tragedy of Euripides. Anyway I have confidence this film will be remembered in later decades.

One of the most underrated films of 2013. A film with a subtext about the acute world problem. If you look at the film superficially, then everything is just a story similar to the punched films of Gaia Richey, but the lack of voice-over, explaining the audience in the films of Gaia and so not an intricate story. Can make you look at the film under a different "angle," you start to peer at the film, search, then what is invested in it. Although the film looks slightly in what is not finished, it probably happened because of the tragedy in the family of Ridley Scott. This does not cancel out the pros of the picture. If we consider the film as a thriller, then it is necessary to evaluate very relevant musical inserts, forcing the atmosphere "the atmosphere of the approaching train", the excellent game of Javier Bardem and not the bad game of other actors. I regard this film as social in which my attention was drawn to the problem of the value of life in the countries in which people are forced to survive, due to the connivance of the government, and these countries are exploited by the governments of the more developed states, ultimately militants and criminals from less developed countries become a problem Countries "exploiters". In the scene of choosing a stone, the adviser is told about finding faults in the stones, which is the essence of the jewelry business, and about the desire to come into contact with the fate of the stone of the person who chose it. The further actions of the adviser and are shortcomings in the business, in which he falls due to greed and carelessness, he is the drawback that will lead him and all whose people he will drag along with himself to the tragic end. The adviser and his lover are the only living in the center of a monolithic stone system. Do not make a counselor a good deed for your client, thereby creating a flaw in a non-clean deal, things could have been different, but there would be an outcome to others. This question leaves an open conversation at the end of the adviser's film with the head of the cartel, and an illustration of a corpse in a barrel sent Together with drugs. After all, criminals living in the country on the brink of survival, where the government has drug cartels and corruption is flourishing, where they shoot and then look at whom they shot, they think quite differently ...

I'm sorry, but this is Cormac McCarthy's third strike for me. After No Country and The Road I am done. And I honesty thought Ridley was the one who would turn my opinion around!! But, sadly he did not and enough is enough. I want to watch a movie that takes me away - away from MY OWN miserable aspects of life to escape to a more interesting place. It doesn't necessarily have to be a BETTER place, but come on, leave the nihilism at home. I guess I'm the minority because he is a prolific writer who has made a career out of writing this brand of narrative and obviously many people enjoy it. I'm OK with that. But never again for me. I'll leave my despair in a box along with any future interest in a McCarthy based film.
