“Soporific”, “Tasteless”: rating 1.8 out of 5, this is Ridley Scott’s worst movie

85-year-old Ridley Scott gave us incredible masterpieces such as Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien and Gladiator. Among these great films, the filmmaker also gave us some memorable failures.

Some claim that “Prometheus” is his worst film, others claim that the big year is very bad. Some refer more to his Robin Hood or Exodus as turnips.

However, none of these films are the worst according to AlloCiné’s audience ratings. Indeed, you have to go all the way back to 2013 to find Ridley Scott’s worst feature film. The British director that year was The Cartel, which brings together a 5-star cast with Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Despite this, the film was considered disastrous by critics and the public. Viewers on AlloCiné gave it an average rating of 1.8 out of 5!

The story follows the descent into hell of a criminal lawyer who is drawn to the thrill, danger and easy money of the drug trade on the US-Mexico border. He discovers that a decision made too quickly can send him into a downward spiral with fatal consequences.

To discuss the film, Msuhite turns to a culinary metaphor: “You arrive at a great restaurant, the view of the sea is sublime, the waiters are attentive. They serve you excellent wine to welcome you. Finally the dish arrives. It is under a silver bell. You lick your lips. . . and there you find ketchup shells.”This internet user tells us.

“You will protest, but the waiter will very seriously explain that it is not a simple noodle, but a cylindrical twist made of dough, egg and olive oil. In short, this is you. Ridley Scott Ditto. .”he concludes with sarcasm.

Dialogues full of tasteless, pompous and unnecessary symbolism.

For Scribx, the cartel has it “The dialogue is flavorless, pompous and full of useless symbolism. The casting is royal for a frankly banal production; the script is very dirty and tries to leave the audience rooting for it. In short, this is neither an action film nor a message, just boredom in the form of a cinematic film.”He criticizes.

VNTFO doesn’t mince words either: “Just walking out of the room and I have to say that other than ‘spoor’ the only word that comes to mind is ‘pretty rubbish’!” As is often the case with a lot of fancy name posters, we have to be careful. my friends! Because it is better to eclipse the complete lack of scenario that will hold. “

I have to say that apart from “spoorish”, the only word that comes to mind is: “pretty rubbish”!

Alice L is also very categorical: “This is Ridley Scott’s worst movie, Javier Bardem’s, Penelope Cruz’s, Cameron Diaz’s worst movie ever. Terrible!” Nicperpignan is also very optimistic: “What a big mistake! It’s horrible to see such a lousy movie with so many great actors like Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Brad Pitt! How did they agree to be part of this garbage? Stupid story, lousy script!”

You see, the majority of audiences hated The Cartel, which is therefore Ridley Scott’s worst movie according to your records. Fun Fact: The work that precedes this feature film is none other than Napoleon with a 2.3 out of 5 stars! The biographical film of the 85-year-old director, released in theaters on November 22, is not unanimous.
