Killer Joe

“A Totally Deep-Fried Texas Redneck Trailer Park Murder Story.”

Chris Smith (Emile Hirsch) is a small-time drug dealer who owes money he doesn't have, and his plan is to have his mother killed for the insurance. Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a detective who takes contract jobs on the side, wants a retainer Chris can't pay, so he asks for Chris's sister Dottie (Juno Temple) instead. William Friedkin shoots the Smith family's trailer-park life plainly, and Chris keeps saying yes to each new condition.
