About
Killer Joe

Possibly Friedkin's masterpiece, "Killer Joe" exudes the sort of danger that makes Lynch's "Blue Velvet" so invigorating. It's a tale of despicable people doing nasty things, yet the movie never feels calculated, instead unfolding organically without simplifying its characters. McConaughey gives the performance of his life as the title character, executing even the most disturbing moments with unnerving charisma.
