Matthew McConaughey wasn’t apologizing for his character’s egregious behavior. “As an actor, you don’t take on a character and get moral about it,” said McConaughey about playing seemingly carefree assassin Joe Cooper.

“You stick with your man and work on the humanity of it.” The movie takes place in Dallas, a setting that mirrored the film’s suspenseful feel. “There’s a certain sensibility (in the South), there’s a certain pace, there are certain rural areas that would scare you because no one can hear you scream,” said McConaughey.

Here the trailer of the film.

The film is directed by Oscar winner William Friedkin, featuring Matthew McConaughey as Killer Joe Cooper and Gina Gershon as the mother of a young drug dealer, played by Emile Hirsch
