Re: Cormac Article on Kekulé Problem

[Mark Thibodeau]

Just FYI, if any of you have been holding off on seeing The Counselor
because of the atrocious reviews it got, OR if you watched it and
didn't like it, BUT you'd seen it before seeing and enjoying the first
season of True Detective, I'd give it another watch. The film has aged
exceedingly well, and I put it up there with True Detective Season One
and with Sean Penn/Jack Nicholson's The Pledge in the relatively new
genre of Apocalyptic Noir Procedural.
