Counselor
There will be no mercy.
Each person must have his own idea of a work of art. In the memory of the recently deceased brother, Tony Scott, Ridley Scott seems to have surpassed himself. The new masterpiece by Ridley Scott, “Counselor”, due out at 25th of October, will most likely respond even the most demanding images of the work of cinematic art. The author of “No Country for Old Men”, Cormac McCarthy wrote the script for the “Counselor” and this fact by itself alone suggests that the film will surely be worth special attention. Trailer of the “Counselor” reveals only the key moments of the story line and does it pretty niggardly, so we can only guess, but the basis is extremely promising.
Imagine a life of a talented lawyer, who, knowing his rights and wrongs, exceeds his authority in the chase for something extra and gets caught up in some criminal schemes, related to the traffic of a fantastic amount of drugs. Of course, there are some menacing and dangerous villains, the power and bloodlust of which has no description, and terrible secrets, the disclosure of which threatens with some dire consequences. Unsurprisingly, the Counselor has a story of a tender and bland, yet very unhappy love, the illusion of a happy life, which is not destined to ever come true, an odd and unfaithful friendship and, of course, dashed hopes and dreams. The “Counselor” would not have anything so tremendously amazing in it, if not for Ridley Scott and his impeccable status of a great director, for Cormac McCarthy and his reputation as a talented writer, and, evidently, for the actors who has been chosen for the leading roles. The hapless counselor, who has been mercilessly betrayed by his fate, is performed by the matchlessly handsome in his dispassionate manner Michael Fassbender, his naïve sweetheart is tremendous Penelope Cruz. Other characters are not yet completely identified because of the mysterious trailer of the “Counselor”, but the reputation of the actors speaks for itself. On the secondary roles wicked Ridley Scott has chosen none other than Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem and Cameron Diaz.
25th of October lifts up the curtain of secrecy over the “Counselor” and we will finally find out what a stunning surprise have prepared for us a brilliant Ridley Scott and his incomparable team .
