Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple
Running Time: 102 minutes
Chris Smith is a
22-year-old Dallas, Texas, drug dealer who owes a great deal of money to some
bad people. He decides to hire Joe Cooper, a detective/hitman, to kill his mom
so he can collect the life insurance money. Since he does not have the money to
pay the hired killer upfront, Chris begrudgingly accepts that Joe will take his
younger sister, Dottie, as a retainer.
This is very dark black comedy. All the cast members do an awesome job in their respective roles. The story is compelling, though it is truly nasty and decadent. Not for the weak of heart. I was not crazy about the quick ending, but, overall, I was entertained.
