Killer Joe

Director William Friedkin presents one of the most screwed up families in a film based on and original stage play by written by Tracy Letts
In Killer Joe:there's Chris(Emile Hirsch) the drug dealer,his dim bulb dad Ansel(Thomas Haden Church) Ansel's ****ty wife Sharla(Gina Gershon)
and Ansel's loopy virgin daughter Dottie (Juno Temple)
The plan is simple enough hire Killer Joe (Matthew McConaughey)a sadistic cop/assassin to kill a family member,get the insurance money due to Dottie.
But with a crew like this you know something....everything will go wrong.
The film excels when i didnt quite know where a scene was going and placed me firmly on the edge of my seat,the standout
being the "family" dinner.
Abruptness plagues the film here and there and at times it felt like i was watching a stage play instead of a film.
But the entire cast takes bold chances with the lurid and edgy script.But it's McConaughey who comes out on top.
He injects Joe with just the right amount of icy,slow burn,unflinching control.

My feelings on the NC-17 rating,well when the film ended i found myself saying:Thats it?!? That's why it received an NC-17
rating? I have to agree with David Dinerstein of LD Entertaiment,the films distributor who stated :There are far more disturbing
films that have received R ratings.
Dinerstein is right i have walked out of R rated films i have found offensive and beyond sickening and disturbing.
Yes there is nudity and violence in Killer Joe but i dont think the material deserves an NC-17 rating.
But one thing is for sure i will never look at a chicken leg the same again.

Scale of 1-10 an 8

Tdkr - 5.5/10

what a mess.

 

[-Arya-]

Word. I'm seeing it for the fourth time tomorrow in IMAX. I went from being slightly underwhelmed to it possibly being my favorite one.

Damn, I wish I felt this way on my first viewing.

Likewise. I suppose the reason I felt ambivalent the first time was due to my expectation of the film following a similar narrative structure to TDK. Now however, I acknowledge the decision Nolan made with the film and it has become my favorite of the trilogy; despite its flaws.

Yeah, the narrative of BB and TDK (especially TDK) was something I've been so used to in how Nolan tells a Batman film. This is so different it did take me getting used to. TDK has a great tight well told story. TDKR has a different pacing on its own, but still has great pacing.
