(click each image to watch the trailer)
The Counsellor
A lawyer finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking.
Director: Ridley Scott
Stars: Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz (?! I know), Javier Bardem.
Release Date: 14 November 2013
Thoughts: It makes me mad that Cameron Diaz is in this movie. Not because I dislike her but because my favourite person ever was going to be cast as Cameron’s character and she would have been SO MUCH BETTER. Other than that it looks like it’s going to be pretty great. Well worth the $17 ticket anyway.
