Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Despite having such a great cast and director, the movie manages to disappoint with a story that is utterly predictable and offers not a single surprise. I would have hoped for the makers to try to hide even some of what was going to happen, but now it was just a story of a cousellor heading for a train wreck.

Just an awful piece of film making with a really great cast and a terrible plat

One of the best movies. I am confident that most viewers did not like this film because of the complex plot and incredible dialogue. All actors were on top of their game. Fassbender is as awesome as his performance in Inglourious Basterds. Pitt the same in delivery, timing, inflection and cadence. Several scenes of dialogue rivals Robert Shaw's Indianapolis speech in Jaws. Technically amazing and a fantastic reality of the drug trade, corruption, violence, power and greed. Cormac McCarthy is an incredible visionary. Ridley Scott you are a true artist. Amazing cinematography. Highly underrated gem but apparently only if you are a film fan with a IQ above 70.

Often considered a dud in regards to the works of director Ridley Scott. I would instead argue that this is a film that while heavily criticized on its release is full of such charismatic and bizarre performances from a fine ensemble cast that you'll never be bored and you'll often be surprised. The story never stops keeping your attention with it's twisting plot and gruesome stylized violence. There are things in this movie that you won't see anywhere else...I promise.
