Review of Killer Joe (2012) by Amboy — 16 Nov 2012

This is real film noir--not the private eye low key lighting kind but a real dip in the nasty stew of human greed and concupiscence. Hence, not for everyone. The actors are wonderful at revealing how naivete can turn amoral and good manners mask perversity and violence--and all regarded as part of the human comedy.

. The cast is pitch perfect. A special cheer for McConaughey and for Gina Gershon and Emile Hirsch.
