Director William Friedkin is in top form with his latest flick KILLER JOE. It stars Matthew McConaughey as Killer Joe, a corrupt Texas police detective who moonlights as a killer for hire. When Emile Hirsch ( a two bit drug dealer ) can't come up with some owed money, his life is threatened. With agreement with his daddy ( Thomas Haden Church ) his little sister ( Juno Temple ) and step mom Gena Gershon, Emile hires Killer Joe to knock off the one person everyone hates, Church's ex wife and Emile and Juno's real mom for a $50K insurance policy who names the youngest child ( Juno ) as the benificiary. But, of course, everything goes wrong and the last guy you want mad at you is Killer Joe.
Believe me, you will either love or absolutely despise this film. It's loaded with twisted humor, full frontal female nudity, sexual perversion, blood ( and I do mean blood ) curdling violence, and some things I haven't found words to describe. But like it or hate it, one thing you will have to admit to, McConaughey is mesmerizing as Killer Joe.
I watched this last night and today I'm still trying to figure out if I like this outrageous piece of sh..t.
