Quote:
Starring Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Thomas Haden Church, Juno Temple and Gina Gershon, the plot follows 22 year-old drug dealer Chris (Hirsch) who has his stash stolen by his mother, and has to come up with six thousand dollars quick or else he’s dead. Desperate, he turns to Killer Joe (McConaughey) when he finds out that his mother’s life insurance policy is worth $50,000. Although Joe usually demands cash up front, he finds himself willing to bend the rules in exchange for Chris’ attractive younger sister, Dottie (Temple), who will serve as sexual collateral until the money comes in.

Dude, everything else about the movie sounds really awesome.

I can forgive it having ONE lame actor.

If the marquee is anything to go by, he's the star.

dont see how he is a lame actor

yes he might have done some rom coms and what not but when given serious roles he always delivers

A Time To Kill
Lincoln Lawyer
Frailty

and the reviews have said he gives a great performance in this film

I just saw Emile Hirsch on the credits.

Nine out of ten movies of that kid are awesome, I seriously can't see this being bad just for one guy.

I'm curious to see it but the irony is that the only review I've read (from Collider) say it wasn't very good with the exception of Matthew's performance. I've always found him to be a charismatic peformer.
