I’m seeing Ridley Scott‘s The Counselor (Fox; 10/25) in just a few short hours so I didn’t watch this new clip featuring Cameron Diaz and Javier Bardem, but I must say, the whole riding around with a cheetah in your backseat seems a bit… silly or even stupid? Of course, I just skimmed the clip for the screen capture above and so I’m speaking without any information about what I’m seeing whatsoever and zero understanding for the context of the scene. It may actually work, I don’t know, but this just seems a little too over-the-top… if it’s meant to be taken seriously.
NOTE: I guess this scene won’t be in the final film, so I really don’t know what to make of it.
Written by Cormac McCarthy, The Counselor centers on a present-day Southwest lawyer (Fassbender) who thinks he can dip a toe into the drug business without getting sucked down. A bad decision. He tries his best to survive it and get out of a desperate situation, but can he?
