Review of Killer Joe (2012) by Ken S — 11 May 2016
Man, Friedkin can make a movie. One of the first movies featuring Matthew McConaughey that turned his career from "handsome lead in a rom-com" to one of the more celebrated and talked about actors working today.
His role as the sadistic hitman-for-hire cop in Texas is fantastic. He kills it. And William Friedkin's direction of Tracy Lett's script (their second team-up after "Bug") is just top notch.
It's a trailer trash crime thriller, with a good cast, and a fine story...and a few scenes that are just incredibly harsh to watch.
