A totally twisted deep-fried Texas redneck trailer park murder story.
The most recent film from director William Friedkin is a dark and tense black comedy crime story concerning a small-time drug dealer (Emile Hirsch) who wants to have his mother killed so he can claim the insurance money. When he hires a crooked cop who moonlights as a hitman, Killer Joe (Matthew McConaughey) decides to hold onto the younger sister (Juno Temple) as collateral until his fee can be paid.
“William Friedkin’s Killer Joe is one hell of a movie. It left me speechless. It is expertly directed, flawlessly cast and written with merciless black humor by Tracy Letts.” – Roger Ebert
“If you like your movies filled with twisted humor, sexual perversion, psychological intimidation and sudden violence, Killer Joe is the flick for you.” – Tom Long, Detroit News
