Could you give me some smaller notes? order mebendazole All of this, playing out against a backdrop of ever-shifting locations (the film is set mostly along the Texas-Mexico border but, intriguingly, was shot entirely in England and Spain), should have made for riveting viewing, particularly with the reliable Ridley Scott directing and Cormac McCarthy writing the original screenplay. But “The Counselor,” disappointingly, plays like a long series of striking yet enigmatic scenes, without enough story to hold them together. (As with many movies, you wonder what’s been cut away; unlike many, you can find out, as McCarthy’s screenplay has been released as a paperback. Read it as a fascinating exercise in movie editing; much of the story’s connective tissue existed on the page but was stripped away.)
