Ridiculously over-the-top in every way. Maybe thats the point - maybe this just isn't my kind of movie. I will say that this is definitely one of McConaughey's greatest roles as he is just pure shock and entertainment here. Some of this is fun but most is just too much to really enjoy.

Hirsch is wildly uneven. In all fairness, the fault is probably Friedkin's who seems to revel in the perverse for the hell of it. I've always avoided KFC - and now I can never go (you'll see what I mean). Some of it is plain terrible. Other parts aren't half-bad. McConaughey's totally ruthless villain, though definitely not all too original, isn't without promise. Church (in a funny turn) and Gershon are convincing as extremely cynical trailer trash - not the most flattering compliment, perhaps.
