Chris (Emile Hirsch) is a drug pusher who owes money to a loan shark. He decides the way out of his money problems is to have Joe (Matthew McConnaughey), a policeman and part time professional assassin, murder his mother for her estate. Needless to say events do not proceed as planned.
Killer Joe contains considerable violence, nudity, crude sexual references and characters with few redeeming features. Despite this there is a certain compelling element to the movie if you can stomach these aspects and the touches of black humour that pop up. Otherwise steer clear.
★★★
