Am I mistaken, or did I just slip on some sarcasm coming in the door here? For future reference,
The Counselor was my favorite film of 2013 and one of my <20 100's. That of course was supplanted by
Her, which I didn't see until January, when I gave it my first ever, "best ever", 10+ award. Nothing has changed about my opinion of
The Counselor and I stand by every thing I've said about it.
In the unlikely event that I misunderstood the intent of your somewhat nebulous post and you were not seeking to attempt to undermine my credibility, please accept my apology in advance.

Johansson has the raw talent to project emotion from the tip of her little finger, while Adams is the most versatile, bringing something fresh to a throwaway role like the fairy tale princess in Enchanted, to playing a nun, a hustler, the only non-idiot in The Master, and the incredibly subtle Amy in Her. Yeah, they've both had their duds, and lucrative dalliances as superhero molls, but who hasn't. I think Emma Stone and Meryl Streep are close, but just don't quite make it to the pinnacle.
I'm surprised that I couldn't think of a comparable male. Daniel Day-Lewis and Geoffrey Rush come to mind but still fall short IMNTBHO. Heath Ledger might have hit the apex, if he'd lived--he came close as it was. The biggest flash-in-the-pan disappointment is Johnny Depp--talk about crash and burn, he's become about as one-dimensional as they get, but he made a lot of money on the way down. Defending my gender, I think guys rule as directors, with only one top-quality female D., Kathryn Bigelow, after 50 years of women having a reasonable expectation of finding work there.
There, I said it and I'm glad.
cant forget
Natalie dormer! did you even see the counselor??
