Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey's legendary comeback in the early 2000s involved some very gritty movies and one of them is killing it on streaming.

It originally received the dreaded NC-17 rating from the MPAA; the movie has since been released in both the original NC-17 and an R-edit, but it is simply not the kind of movie where anything is going to seem pleasant. There is only one problem: the beneficiary of the policy is Chris’s teenage sister Dottie (a pre-Ted Lasso Juno Temple). They quickly throw a plan together to fool Dottie, but part of the very, very dark humor of the movie is how immediately even the naive and innocent girl agrees to have her own mother killed by a creepy Matthew McConaughey. Most likely, a movie in which Matthew McConaughey gets involved in a disturbing sexual relationship with a teenager while plotting to kill her mother just did not sit right with critics. The movie begins (and mostly takes place) in a West Dallas trailer park in the middle of the night. In addition to Matthew McConaughey, the cast are doing sterling work. In this case, Chris quickly hatches a plan to have Matthew McConaughey kill his own mother for the insurance payout.
