Drama, Crime
4 stars
Good movie with lots of twists and turns. Matthew McConaughey stars as the title character who normally represents tough characters like bikers and drug dealers, but acquires a rich client (Ryan Phillippe) charged with the murder of a prostitute. Nothing is as it seems and the betrayals and double crosses are aplenty. William H. Macy (Fargo) co-stars as McConaughey’s private investigator and Marisa Tomei plays McConaughey’s ex-wife – though I’ve never known a divorced couple to be so flirty, their chemistry sizzles. I expected it to be violent, but it really isn’t, this is more of a clever cat-and-mouse thriller. McConaughey is excellent, as good as he was in A Time To Kill. It’s a fun ride.
