He was *amazing* in True Detective. He's not just acting - that character lives in him somewhere just like the Joker lived in Heath Ledger. Interstellar was a fine scifi movie and he acted well but the character was just a normal guy. True Detective had him reaching for a very small part of himself that he had to amplify for that role and he did an extremely convincing job.

@borkabrak Месяц назад

Yeah, True Detective convinced me that this guy who was, in my mind, just a pretty good actor was in fact one of the finest performers alive today. Harrelson did fantastic as well, but we're talking about McDonalday right now. :)

@Andrew-po8nt Месяц назад

the show felt like a documentary, actually all seasons of True Detective felt like a documentary, because shit like that happens in the real world

@laurelsilberman5705 Месяц назад

I agree that him as Rust Cohl is so iconic a performance that it’s up there with Ledger’s Joker. Especially because both roles were so unbelievably dark and both actors, albeit at very different points along the same journey, were both perceived as “romantic leading men” types, cuties who could make us laugh-and then when we saw Cohl or Joker, we completely forgot who was playing them because they had utterly disappeared inside the character.

@kamsismith Месяц назад

Tropic Thunder and Wolf of Wall Street proved that he can be hilarious.

@trinaq Месяц назад

Agreed, he should honestly star in more comedies, he's definitely got the chops for it.

@kamsismith Месяц назад

@@trinaqHe was recently in the Agent Elvis Netflix series. The premise looked funny with Elvis Presley as a secret agent by night while touring by day, but it looks dumb from the trailers.

@@kamsismith I should check it out, shame that it was axed after a single season.

@Locadel2003 Месяц назад

I think A failure to Launch was hilarious but the supporting actors stoled that movie

@kamsismith Месяц назад

@@trinaqNetflix really needs to stop canceling shows after one season. Recently, they canceled Everything Now. I don't know if you watched the show, but it was pitched as a British version of Never Have I Ever with an eating disorder recovery storyline.

@scientia.veritas Месяц назад

One correction: "A Time To Kill" was not one of those "forgettable films with macho titles" or that he moved on to play "serious roles" after it. It WAS a serious role, an intense film with Matthew playing a non-violent, subdued role.

@chloemchll3774 Месяц назад

Agreed- it is an adaptation of a John Grisham novel where Matthew plays a small-time lawyer hired to defend a black man accused of murdering the men who raped his 10 year old daughter, in the deep South, with the KKK lurking in the shadows and the built in prejudice conflicting with how much we like the righteous retribution the father gets after the justice system failed his daughter. It was definitely an early attempt at a more serious role, and had a cast to back that up.

@theultim8noob921 Месяц назад

Yeah it shouldn't have been glossed over in the video, movie had a big cast too. First role as a leading man surrounded by Sam Jackson, Sandra Bullock and Kevin Spacey and he still stood out in his performance

@osmanyousif7849 Месяц назад

Which is ironic when in 2011 he plays a lawyer who can at times be a cocky salesman (The Lincoln Lawyer).

@Ryan07_20 Месяц назад

Finally someone knows Guy Richie's The Gentelmen. Feel like that movie went into oblivion. IT's a shame cause it's such a good movie, one of my all time favorites

@jonisilk Месяц назад

Criminal of you to downplay "A Time to Kill". That was the film that made his name as a serious actor. It was his first serious dramatic role, surrounded by a stellar cast that he more than held his own against, as well as carrying the film as it's lead. Could almost swear you haven't actually seen the film, given that kind of disrespect being shown to it.

@iamnoone4918 Месяц назад

Exactly

@LucyLioness100 Месяц назад

That movie is the best John Grisham adaptation thanks to the excellent casting and Joel Schuamcher’s direction & the powerful dialogue. McConaughey’s tearful closing argument just brings out the waterworks

@trinaq Месяц назад

Talk about the McConnaissance of all movie careers. While his turn in romantic comedies was decent, his work in Killer Joe showed how excellent he was in dramas, and paved the way for more dramatic, memorable performances.

@LucyLioness100 Месяц назад

I think that flash showed earlier when he starred in “A Time to Kill” under Joel Schumacher. There’s such heart and passion in that performance; his closing statement of the trial is just beautifully written (since it is John Grisham’s book). And he’s also good in “Contact” in ‘97. I think “Killer Joe” came at the right moment for him to get out of the 2000s rom-com pigeon-hole & man that movie made me cringe (in a good way)

@mar21182 Месяц назад

A Time to Kill was the first time I heard of Matthew McConaughey. He was excellent in that movie. I always thought the rom coms gave him an undeserved goofy reputation. He always had some serious acting chops. In A Time to Kill, he shared the screen with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey, and he was every bit their equal.

@Nina-jf7xl Месяц назад

A Time to Kill is a marvelous movie, one of my all time favorites honestly, mostly due to McConaughey's acting. He played his character extremely well and I think this performance alone proves how good of an actor he is. I was waiting for you to comment on that movie but you sadly glosed over it. :(

I wish Bill Paxton had directed more films like it. He deftly handled the duties of directing and acting on that project; he was basically onset dad to the two young actors who played the sons who just adored him. And yeah McConaughey is creepy as hell & the final reveal did shock me

I discovered him in EdTv and became instantly one of my favorite movies of my youth. People may disagree, but I could say that even though some dislike this film, he (and the others crew members) were awesome in this role. And the first season of True Detective was really awesome... Wait, I like him in all his appearances alongside Woody Harrelson !

I'm one of those people who liked all the seasons of True Detective, I think season 2 was criminally underrated. Sure, it's not as good as Season 1, but it's hard to top a masterpiece, only Star Wars and Godfather have ever done it. Even season 3 was very good, they all felt like overdramatized documentaries.

@jamesrichards2980 Месяц назад

You know, I’m surprised Christopher Nolan hasn’t thought about hiring McConaughey to be in his movies much earlier. Call me nuts, but I could totally see him as Harvey Dent for The Dark Knight. Not hating on Aaron Eckhart, but when you compare McConaughey‘s acting, especially in later movies/shows like The Lincoln Lawyer and True Detective, I could totally see him, pulling off the role.
