Ridley Scott Plans The Counselor

[Octoberist]

Ridley wasn't right for the film.

The problem is not the level of crypticism , its how it is presented. The execution.Not because characters are the voice of the authors ideas. I have nothing against that. Quite the contrary , the message is fascinating even if it's not unique in Cormac Mcc's views. It's just that it's very clunky in how it progresses. Which generates an immense fatigue watching this cyphers behaving.

You probably put this in the Coen bros hands (im talking script revision and direction) and you get a very different movie. Retaining the core of the Counselor pathos.

Ah, ok. I see what your criticisms are now.

I also thought Cameron Diaz was a miscast. In fact, they should've switched her and Cruz's roles.

Which is a shame cause Malkina is the one who knows fully well the world she lives , and how it should be played. She's a great character.

I think Penelope plays well the naivety of her character (i dont remember the name). She's also drop dead gorgeous , which explains a lot regarding the counselor behavior t:
