KILLER JOE

113 min | NC17
Based on the play by Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts, KILLER JOE is a garish, provocative black comedy from Academy Award winning director William Friedkin (THE FRENCH CONNECTION). Matthew McConaughey stars as a renegade Dallas cop who moonlights as a contract killer. Hired by failed drug dealer Chris (Emile Hirsch, INTO THE WILD) to take out his mother for her life insurance policy, the hit man sets his sights on Chris’ virginal sister Dottie for collateral payment. Juno Temple, Gina Gershon, and Thomas Haden Church costar in this totally twisted, unforgettable trailer park murder story.
