"Killer Joe" feels like a Quentin Tarantino movie, but with none of the likability of one.

This movie had a chance. The acting is horrible. I thought Hirsch had talent and I was wrong. I liked the plot and the quirky nature of the movie but just couldn't get over the simplicity. The ending was also a bit of a cop out. Worth a rent if you have seen most everything else.

Nothing spectacular about this movie, the story-line was pretty good, a Hit man hired to kill a mother by her children and husband who gets caught up in some drama. Something was missing, whether it was the acting or characters in whole or the writing or the location/directing i couldn't quite put my finger on it. Really depending on your personal preference you could like this movie or hate it, it will not be anybody's favorite movie but it is something you can get dragged in to and get your attention, hoping something happens. The ending was very unpredictable though, probably the best part of the movie was the ending, i will not give it away but i did like the ending.

You will never look at a chicken drum stick the same away again after watching this movie. id say one of the most dodgy scenes in cinema. its a sleazy violent and quite disturbing in some ways movie about a guy who hires Joe ( matthew mcConaughhey) to kill his mother for the insurance money. aided by his father and his dodgy wife and his strange sister. it was good to see matthew playing a dark role for which he is great as the psychotic sadistic killer. its dark deadly and creepy and has a decent twist before it ends , though all too soon for my liking . but still a good movie well worth watching, if your into the darker side of cinema. with a unusual storyline.

A big helping of trailer trash sleaze. Dumb characters make terrible decisions that lead down a dead end road. The harsh violence and sexual acts make for great filthy entertainment. McConaughey is excellently evil, as the title character. His performance adds to the film's underlying sinister sense of humor. The final confrontation is instantly memorable for it's tensity and shocking hilarity.
