Killer Joe (Movie Review)

Matthew McConaughey gives an excellent performance. This is coming from a person who finds a lot of his characters laughable.

 

If you get a chance, go see this in the theater. This is one powerful film, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was SO much about this that was unexpected. Your thirst for violence, sex and dark, DARK comedy will not go unquenched.

I've heard some positive advance reviews for this movie, but might have missed it had you not posted about it, Eli. Thanks!

 

Another film along the lines of western, trailerpark, film noir (a pretty small category, as I think about it) is Red Rock West from 20 years ago.

Americans gave it a cold reception and it was sent almost immediately to HBO and video, then was rediscovered by the art house theatres and made strong openings in Europe.

 

Dennis Hopper, Nick Cage, Lara Flynn Boyle, and J.T. Walsh at the top of their acting.
