Killer Joe
Finally leaving the naff rom-coms in his dust, Matthew McConaughey has embraced his inner thespian in recent times, turning in a number of strong performances. Here, with the help of William Friedkin (the director of The Exorcist and The French Connection), McConaughey portrays a hired killer employed by a desperate Emile Hirsch who decides to have his mother rubbed out in order to pay off his debts. Touted as “a totally twisted deep fried Texas redneck trailer park murder story”, advance word has been very positive.
