Ridley Scott's Brutal Action Thriller the Critics Hated Needs To Be Rediscovered in 2026




Based on critical and audience reactions, Ridley Scott's The Counselorlanded in 2013 cinemas like a flaming bag of dog feces; a cruel and rancid joke on anyone seeking typical genre thrills. The cartel-world thriller came loaded with an incredible behind-the-scenes pedigree: an original script by legendary novelist Cormac McCarthy, hot off the Oscar-winning adaptation of No Country for Old Men, Scott's sturdy visual sense behind the lens, and a cast including Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, and Cameron Diaz. The film Scott turned in, however, was the antithesis to the thrill-ride many audiences expected, taking the nihilism of No Country, running with it, then diving into an even blacker, yawning abyss.
