The Counselor was a pretty damned great movie. Just because it was different, doesn\’t mean it was "bad." That\’s totally subjective. I\’d be first in line to see this, regardless of who is starring in it.

A shame. Those are really good books. Winslow has the same problem Elmore Leonard briefly had for a brief time; hack directors butchering his novels. With Leonard, they eventually got it right. Hollywood butchered The Life and Death of Bobby Z and Savages. It looks like they\’re going to butcher Power of the Dog and The Cartel, too.

The Counselor wasn\’t enough to drive studios away from producing and distributing Rid scott cartel type movies? LOL

Nice try trying to spin anyone who doesn\’t think DiCaprio should take a role from a Latino as The Real Racist, though.

And in the first book he doesn\’t look Mexican so everyone is surprised when he speaks Spanish. And Not all Mexicans Look Like Your stereotypical fantasy. There are afro Mexicans Mexicans of Spanish descent Mexicans of native anerican/Indio descent. Red headed Mexicans. Blonde blue eyed Mexicans. You being offended about Dicaprio playing a Mexican is like someone being offended by Christian Bale playing American.

And also like 55. God I hope your prediction about this ending up with a different director was right.
