I always thought Cormac McCarthy's stories a bit overrated. Gross gruesome and ugly. But this movie really takes the cake. It's bad beyond belief. What is amazing is how they managed to get top notch actors and director to do this movie. Unlike No Country this tale tries to contrast some glamorous with the ugly but the whole story is so pointless is just isn't worth the effort.
The sexual scenes are so bad they aren't even funny from the opening scene with Penelope and it's banal dialog to Cameron and the car. She is above such a degrading scene. She is A list. Brad Pitt all uglied up is above this too. As for Michael Fassbender I know actors more often than not have to take roles they can get but this one wasn't worth it. At least he didn't have to hump a car. The violent deaths and decapitation by that stupid device are just violence for the sake of violence and serve no purpose.
The screenplay is so badly written that the plot isn't clear in a totally unnecessary way. There are so many stupid things like why didn't Penelope's character get out of town straight away? What about Javier's character he knew he was in trouble too. The speeches by the characters are okay but hardly compensate for the story. The only good point is the ending is realistic didn't have any cute rescues but it was just so depressing.
Don't waste your time.
