Review by Pamela Zoslov
How do you account for a movie like
THE
COUNSELOR? It has a starry cast, a famous director (albeit Ridley
Scott), and an original screenplay by Cormac McCarthy, the literary
novelist who has been called – not by me — “America's greatest
living writer.” One of McCarthy's novels was the basis of the Coen
Brothers'
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. I didn't much care for that film,
but compared to
THE COUNSELOR, it was a damn masterpiece.
