The Counselor

So many people are down about this film - and I can see why. The pseudo-intellectual monologues are ham-fisted and, quite frankly, a bit tone deaf. The pacing of the film leaves a lot to be desired and the characters are mostly unlikable (narcissistic, sociopathic, weak - take your pick). But the film does great into going to some dark places - especially the grunts who will literally do anything for money. I was expecting more from Ridley Scott and Cormac McCarthy, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.
