"The Counselor" will probably be my Halloween escape movie. It's
playing at the nearby plex. It's also based on an original screenplay
by Cormac McCarthy ("No Country for Old Men" and "The Road"). It's 9
minutes short of 2 hours.

I agree with these film critics' analysis, but with a caveat. Never
bother to watch the cinematic release of a Ridley Scott movie. The man
refuses to be constrained by the industry's "Keep it under two hours"
rule, and as a result almost every film he makes has been cut to
pieces by studio editors before it hits the cinemas. Wait for the
Director's Cut. That's where you get to see the movies Scott wanted to
make, and in that form they're often brilliant. I suspect the same
fate will await "The Counselor," released this week.
