Review of Killer Joe (2012) by W James S — 16 Sep 2015

Despite all the great actors chewing up the scenery here, this film proves to be a lurid tale that descends into violence. Although William Friedkin used to be one of the great directors in Hollywood (think "The Exorcist" and the "French Connection", just to name a couple), I don't think that he really hits the mark here at all.

It seems to lack any sense of humor (except for Thomas Haden Church, who also hits the comic mark).
