Revisiting Cormac McCarthy's Underappreciated Works.

The Counselor, the only major screenplay written by Cormac McCarthy, was a box office flop and critically panned upon its release in 2013. However, a decade later, the film deserves another shot. Directed by Ridley Scott, the movie features all of his trademark stylized violence and a star-studded cast. But the real greatness comes from McCarthy's writing, which serves as a reminder that all the flash and glamor in the world won't save you from the reaper. The Counselor is both a fun flick and an essential component of one of America's greatest authors.
