Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

The Counselor

The Counselor is an unlikely contender for a popular movie since mainstream audiences never really took to it. The basic plot is that a cartel lawyer gets caught up in drug trafficking which changes the lawyer's life and the life of his lover. The 117-minute theatrical release did what it was supposed to do: tell the story. The director's cut is 20 minutes longer and delves into a devastating scene between the lawyer and the cartel kingpin. It completely changes the mood and reception of the rest of the story.
