Killer Joe
Director William Friedkin, writer Tracy Letts, and stars Matthew McConaughey and Gina Gershon in person!
Oscar-winning director William Friedkin (The French Connection) and Pulitzer- and Tony-winning playwright Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) reteam for this darkly comic adaptation of Letts’ off-Broadway play, in which a small-time drug dealer (Emile Hirsch) enlists a professional hitman (Matthew McConaughey) to bump off his shrewish stepmother for a $50,000 life insurance policy.
