What is this movie?
Chis (Emile Hirsch): "Hey guys I have a problem. I've gotta pay back some drug lords or they're most likely gonna off me, but don't worry I've gotta solution... mom's life insurance policy is for 50 large and I got a guy."
Dad (Thomas Haden Church) and Sister (Juno Temple): "Hm, interesting idea. Let's figure out how to make this happen."
Based on the play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts, director William Friedkin brings us Killer Joe and gives me a creepy vibe, but I'm really curious. I'm not even minding McConaughey here. I am wondering about the NC-17 rating for "graphic aberrant content involving violence and sexuality, and a scene of brutality.” They apparently just went with it after refusing to change the film's ending...sounds intense and being that it is categorized as a black comedy, color me even more curious.
When is the site going to get actual trailers instead of just embedding trailers from youtube?

Agreed. They should get on that.
Man that is some of the lost souls of acting. Not quiet sure if this is sign of McConaughey getting back on the right side of things or going full Nick Cage. If it weren't rated NC-17 I would be more interested not into brutal gore.

We're working on it. It's a problem we inherited out of the Whiskey transition. Hopefully soon, but unfortunately have no timeline yet.
The world needs more dark comedies, and I'm not gonna sing Mcconaughy's praises here, but he didn't look terrible in any way, shape or form based on that trailer. Sometimes worth remembering even awful actors can manage to not be awful every now and then!
I am... Intrigued.

Remember that the MPAA is completely subjective, so their ratings are based on what they think is inappropriate or just makes them feel weird. It may be something entirely different than brutal gore. Say, the sister eventually killing everybody, perhaps?
(they do like their girls to be unsexed and submissive) ;)
Looks pretty great, although the trailer does not make it look like a comedy at all, dark or not.

Hey, don't forget Into the Wild and Milk. It looked like he was going to break out into serious stuff for a moment there.
