    When 22-year-old Chris (Emile Hirsch) finds himself in debt to a drug lord, he hires a hit man to dispatch his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister Dottie (Juno Temple). Chris finds Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a creepy, crazy Dallas cop who moonlights as a contract killer. When Chris can't pay Joe upfront, Joe sets his sight on Dottie as collateral for the job. The contract killer and his hostage develop an unusual bond. Like from a modern-day, twisted fairy tale, "Killer Joe" Cooper becomes the prince to Dottie's Cinderella.When 22-year-old Chris (Emile Hirsch) finds himself in debt to a drug lord, he hires a hit man to dispatch his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister Dottie (Juno Temple).

    I like movies like this. I am a movie person and this was gooood!

    This movie was great! Disturbing as may say yes, and at times makes you feel a bit awkward watching it. I'm not going to say anything cause if I do, it gives away main parts of the film. But Remember, this is Rated NC-17! That stands for something! I suggest seeing it. It was a great film and you will laugh a lot! I did!

    This was quite disturbing. I ended up closing my eyes for the last scene because it was too much for me!
