William Friedkin is back with a film that is fullfrontal in every sense. When drug dealer Chris (Emile Hirsch) has to come up with six-thousand dollars quick or he’s dead, he and his father Ansel (Thomas Haden Church) hatch a plan to bump off Chris’s mother and cash in her life-insurance policy. Enter Detective ‘Killer’ Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a hired hit man with the manners of a Southern gentleman, who agrees to do the job but wants a retainer. The scheming pair lack the cash so decide to loan out Chris’ innocent younger sister Dottie (Juno Temple) as sexual collateral instead… Complications ensue in this enjoyably cynical, blood-spattered noir-comedy that is not for the faint-hearted.
