Saw this last night. Let's just say I am not suggesting you spend any $$ on it. The movie was all over the place, there were way too many characters in it, the dialogue is way over written and with that growl, Fassbender coulda gave Bale a run for his money as the Dark Knight. One of the things that stuck with me (and annoyed me) was how everyone else in the movie had a proper name, but there wasn't a single person who called him anything but the Counselor. To make things clear, he is not some sort of drug kingpin - this is a guy who just got involved in his first ever drug deal. I never really understood exactly why the cartels were out to get him.

Can't say that it's even worth a Netflix screening.

Cant agree more! 2 hours and if you edited all the action sequences together they would add up to 2 minutes.
