Review of Killer Joe (2012) by Lisa Schwarzbaum for Entertainment Weekly — 24 Jul 2012
Killer Joe throws down a dare by expecting its audience to be the cool connoisseurs of the story's "comic" outrageousness, then rubbing viewers' faces in close-up scenes of brutality that reasonable people ought not to be able to watch.
That up-close experience, however effectively done, is a movie specialty that's its own kind of mean.
