This was effing AWESOME…. advertising. I tip my hat to the marketing team. What a brilliant investment in PR and the
marketing team’s job on selling this flick was stellar. Rarely - RARELY, I say… have I been so expertly
manipulated (save for a couple of incidents in my youth) by a trailer and a few
respected names in a commercial. Aside
from an almost random story told by the great Javier Bardem’s character, this
movie lacked any memorable moments, quotes, scenes, insights, or nearly
anything else of any appreciable value.
In fewer, more pointed words… The Counselor sucked.
