Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Matthew McConaughey's movies have cemented him as one of the most versatile actors working in Hollywood, maintaining a good balance between comedies and profound dramas. McConaughey has been a major presence in movies since the early '90s, following his breakout performance in the cult classic Dazed and Confused.
McConaughey is part of the terrific ensemble as the determined lawyer who is fighting for the rights of the captives. The cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, and Djimon Honsou in a breakout role as the leader of the captives. It makes for a gripping and emotional courtroom drama that is elevated by a master filmmaker and a collection of great actors.
15 A Time To Kill McConaughey And Samuel L. Jackson Lead An Intense Courtroom Drama Matthew McConaughey headlined another high-profile courtroom drama with a big cast in A Time to Kill. Adapted from the John Grisham novel of the same name, Samuel L. Jackson stars as a working-class father who takes the law into his own hands when he kills the men who brutally attacked his young daughter.
He begins taking people he insists are demons in disguise, and with the help of his sons, executes them. McConaughey plays one of the sons who, years later, details his father's crimes to an FBI agent. This is a small and very dark thriller which makes for an impressive directorial debut by Paxton. It is a fun performance which also gives McConaughey the chance to play the villain role which he does so well. With director Steven Soderbergh helming the project, Magic Mike is a much more engrossing and layered movie than the audience might have expected.
McConaughey plays Benjamin, a man who wants to prove he's capable of making any woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Of course, he meets and instead falls for Hudson's Andie, who is researching how to get a man to leave a woman in 10 days. It is a silly rom-com premise that can be overlooked thanks to the two leads elevating the script and making for a perfect duo.
Directed by the prestigious William Friedkin, Killer Joe follows McConaughey's titular detective as he accepts the task of killing a drug dealer's evil mother, but demands an unsettling price for the job. Matthew McConaughey gets in on the Hollywood satire as the vain agent to Stiller's needy action movie star. While the movie has plenty of controversy that has followed it around for years, it remains one of the funniest comedies of the 21st century. It is not only a bold movie that tackles some taboo subject matter, including Robert Downey Jr's blackface performance, but it is also a hilarious action movie as well.
Under a constant atmosphere of suspicion, the movie offers an intriguing narrative while delving deep into each character's psyche. Although criminally under-seen, Lone Star has 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and is the perfect option for those who enjoy McConaughey's performances in crime thrillers. 4 The Wolf Of Wall Street McConaughey Steals Scenes In Scorsese's Outrageous R-Rated Comedy The Wolf of Wall Street
