Reviews

Time Out - Keith Uhlich
It's McConaughey who is the real revelation: All Grim Reaper strut and cutthroat stare, he savors each of Letts's vividly ghoulish lines.

The Playlist - Oliver Lyttelton
It won't change the face of cinema history, and it won't win any awards (it's too downright dirty for that), but it's furiously entertaining, and a very strong piece of drama from a director who hasn't much luck in the last thirty-odd years.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
A likeably unpleasant slice of adults-only Texas noir, which aims at the funnybone as much as the jugular.
80
Total Film - Unnamed
Friedkin's unflinching trailer-park noir features ugly characters, game performances, degradation and the obscene abuse of a chicken drumstick. Highly recommended, then.
80
Time - Richard Corliss
McConaughey's fans might be shocked to see him in this role - more likely, they'd skip the opportunity - but they ought to give his performance a shot. The dimpled demon lover proves he can be just as seductive playing Texas's creepiest, craziest cop.
