Review: 'The Counselor' a bleak waste of A-list talent

Director Ridley Scott, writer Cormac McCarthy and a star-littered cast can't transcend the unrelenting ugliness of this drug-deal-gone-bad tale.As cold, precise and soulless as the diamonds that figure briefly in its plot, "The Counselor" is an extremely unpleasant piece of business. You could call it "Three Beheadings and No Funeral," but even that doesn't give an accurate idea of what you're in for.
