Exclusive Clip: Matthew McConaughey Tells A Sickening Story In ‘Killer Joe’

That’s what you’re about to see in /Film’s exclusive clip from the shocking, NC-17 rated film version of the play by Tracy Letts. Killer Joe is about a young man played by Emile Hirsch who convinces his father (Thomas Hayden Church) to have a local policeman (the title character played by McConaughey) kill the mother of the family. The price? Cash, of course, and the virginity of the young sister, played by Temple. Yeah. It’s a screwed-up kind of movie, but that’s what makes it so insanely watchable. See for yourself on after the jump.
Here’s an exclusive clip from Killer Joe. The audio is not particularly profane, but it is graphic, so be advised.
Also, it’s important to note that while Killer Joe was given an NC-17 for “graphic disturbing content involving violence and sexuality, and a scene of brutality” you’ve likely seen worse. It’s gory and disturbing but not in a way that warrants the seal of death.
Killer Joe opens on a limited basis July 27. Head to the official website for theaters and all that good stuff.
What do you think of the clip? Was it a nice balance to McConaughey’s current theatrical showing?
