Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
Cormac McCarthy was one of the most important American writers of the 20th century, and of the 21st century so far. It wasn’t until the 2000s that he became something of a household name outside the world of literature, thanks to some high-profile adaptations of his later works.
The uneasy magic of McCarthy’s prose is lost here, with the premise – about a violent outsider of a man continuing to become more of a killer as his disillusionment with the world grows – being the same in both, but the execution is just off. Additionally, the film changes the book’s ending, and not for the better.
It takes place in and around the Mexican drug trade and related conflicts, with the plot broadly definable as being about a lawyer getting into trouble when he gets involved with drug trafficking in the area. Overall, though, The Counselor is a good deal more convoluted than that, with an abundance of characters and a sense of things sometimes being sluggish, but also progressing too fast at other points.
