Has anyone see 'The Counselor'?

I was planning on seeing it, written by Cormac McCarthy, directed by Ridley Scott and absolutely jam-packed with stars sounds like a recipe for mega-success but I have read a couple of reviews that aren't just scathing, they are downright BRUTAL about just how bad this movie is...

The weird thing is...it sort of makes me want to see it more...just to see how bad it really is....but, if I'd be better off saving my money I figured I'd ask here first....

Anyone?

It's pretty bad. I had trouble staying awake. There's no clarity about what happens or why. Scuba Oct 2013 #1

So maybe catch it on a matinee if my colonoscopy appointment gets delayed then? truebrit71 Oct 2013 #2

May or may not be better than a colonoscopy, depending on your tastes. Scuba Oct 2013 #3

Pretty thin overall. Wish I'd have saved my dough. The popcorn was good though.
