McCarthy, now with 50% more punctuation!

I'm curious to see it, despite the horrible reviews. Outer Dark is probably in my top 5 books and we all know No Country was a good movie and I called bullshit on it, saying it was unfilmable. I said the same thing about Inherent Vice. So really, it just depends on the director. I heard The Road was like World War Z bullshit and missed the point, so I didn't see it, but Ridley Scott's a good director, arguably the most influential auteur of the late 20th century. I heard this movie was poop but I kinda find that hard to believe.

With the Counselor Cormac McCarthy proved he deserved all the shit B.R. Myers gave him in "A Reader's Manifesto" and more; multiple scenes where the A-list cast could barely conceal their embarrassment at the lines they had to deliver straight-faced

"But nothing is crueler than a coward, and I think the slaughter that is coming will be beyond our imagination."
"I think you've told me more than I wished to hear."
"Then I shall say no more. Let's order dessert."

The plot is a cheap imitation of the kind of garbage Tarantino-wannabes were making 20 years ago, and the style apes that as well with most scenes consisting of overwrought dialogue that a college sophomore might think sounded philosophical.

Aside from a few good scenes this movie was pretty much unwatchable. The actors really seem to be struggling to figure out what movie they're in.

I'm convinced that given the writer, actors, and director involved it could have worked. But it probably didn't help that Ridley Scotts brother committed suicide halfway through filming.

this movie is terrible
