When he?s in his element?that is to say, playing powerful, charming men with Texas-sized opinions of themselves?there?s no one who can touch McConaughey, and the character of Joe Cooper, the cop-turned-hired assassin of Killer Joe, plays perfectly to the actor?s strengths. But the pleasure of watching McConaughey strut, preen, and menace his way through this Southern-fried black comedy (at least I think it?s a comedy) isn?t quite enough to save Killer Joe. The whole movie has something tonally off about it, not to mention a theatricality that works against it in a way Bug's didn?t. Plot twists that might have played as clever onstage feel false on screen, and while the individual actors are all gifted (if in some cases miscast), they never really come together as an ensemble.
