Catch Ridley Scott’s Edge-of-Your-Seat Thriller, “The Counselor,” on February 11!
January 6th, 2014 by Aaron Neuwirth
To be fair, I did not come up with the title of this post nor would I have wanted to write that, that was on the press release e-mail. That said, while I was initially disappointed in theaters by Ridley Scott’s The Counselor, I am one to pay attention to his extended/director cuts of his films, as they often tend to work even better than the theatrical cuts. I am still not sure if the film could actually play better, if it were longer, but I am certainly curious if a different cut will make me disregard how bad Cameron Diaz was in this film or how little I cared for these characters. Regardless, there is a solid-looking Blu-ray headed to stores on February 11th. Continue on to learn more about this upcoming release.
