William Friedkin serves up Trailer Trash Neo-Noir with a side order of Fried Chicken.Killer Joe is directed by William Friedkin and adapted to screenplay by Tracy Letts from his own play of the same name. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon. Music is scored by Tyler Bates and cinematography by Caleb Deschanel. Plot finds Hirsch as Chris Smith, who because he is in severe debt to local thugs, hatches a plan to bump off his waster of a mother and claim the life insurance. Roping in the rest of his trailer dwelling family, he hires Killer Joe (McConaughey), a cop with a sideline in murder, but the Smith’s have no idea just what price they will have to pay for his services.
So pulpy, so amusingly dark, Killer Joe is one of those films that will sit at the top of many film fan’s best of lists for 2012. Yet if someone came up to me and declared it one of the worst then I certainly will understand. Undeniably it has no widespread appeal, you either get it or you don’t, you will either laugh along with Friedkin and his dark observations or you will feel the whole thing is just too ugly to be entertainment. Man it’s good to have Friedkin back pushing peoples buttons!
Filmed in Texas in under three weeks, Killer Joe is a film that walks the fine line of misogyny and perversity for perversity’s sake. But it never falls over that mark, even though these are scummy characters living in a scummy world, where there’s sex and violence, and violent simulated sex and nudity; all of which is cloaked by a sweaty crime gone wrong caper. Much of the film is dialogue driven, rest assured this is very talky, but the director wrings out much tension and salaciousness from every character interaction, the slow-burn approach only heightening the sense of dread. When the finale comes, and it’s a cracker-jack ending, there’s an almost merciful release that it’s all over. These are people you wouldn’t want to hang out with ever, only there’s Friedkin chuckling away to himself having made us spend an hour and forty minutes with this grime laden crew. If you feel like you need a bath afterwards, that’s perfectly natural.
Friedkin has garnered terrific performances from a top line cast. Hirsch (powder-keg), Church (naievity extraordinaire), Temple (virginal piggy in the middle) and Gershon (bold and suspicious), are all giving disturbing credibility to the material, but as good as they are they are trumped considerably by McConaughey. One of the most frustrating actors working today, much like Cage, a ream of poor movies adorn his CV, but once in a while he throws in a performance of such genuine quality that it begs to be acknowledged by his peers. Here as Killer Joe he lays on a Faust like menace, delivering his lines with clinically calm precision, yet still there’s a glint in his eye, we know a black heart beats there but he can charm a snake out of its basket, a girl out of her underwear…
Unflinching direction, bravura performances and neo-noir at its near best, one of the best films of 2012 so far. Well, to some of us at least…. 9/10
On the one hand, Killer Joe does get better as it progresses, but on the other, it’s also the first Friedkin movie I haven’t loved.Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
A dysfunctional family and the sinister Killer Joe…
For anyone who has seen any old Matthew McConaughey films, this is not his standard role. He ain’t the blue eyed hero or the RomCom interest as his main part in this dark film noir.Based in the American South, we have one dysfunctional family who are plotting to kill the mother for the insurance money. Into this they call in ‘Killer Joe’ to do the job.
It’s a nasty movie, and treats the characters like trash. A very cynical outlook on humanity and you may not stomach all that happens. The sexual politics aren’t going to please many people, and it is a discomforting film.
Yet it is still very well written, and uncomfortably involving. The acting is top notch and the pace is well done with good twists.
Before you watch it, if you’ve not got a strong stomach for films, then approach this one with caution. Not one for everyone, but still a very good film.
in a nut-shell: a wild, soaked-in-gasoline-on-fire film-noir
This is about… hmm… about a father and son who want to kill the mother of the family to collect the insurance money from her death, and hire a killer (also a cop) who decides to take ‘as a retainer’ the younger sister of the family while they come up with the cash to pay him. It’s always refreshing when your first though when this ends is – where did THAT come from?By far this is Matthew McConaughey’s most WTF-bad-ass performance, with touches of Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet and even Anton Chigurh. He’s such a fantastic, seductive, snake-like villain here, because after the first couple of times you see him, you’re not quite sure where he’ll go. Friedkin takes this material into some VERY dark places (I imagine based off of the play, once again like ‘Bug’ from Tracy Letts), and if you aren’t offended after the first ten minutes, you just gotta hang on for the rest of the ride. It’s a twisted-f**k film-noir comedy of horrors where morality is so screwed that you have to laugh to not recoil from where it goes ultimately.
The ending had me howling with laughter, recoiling in pain, and just stunned by McConaughey suddenly shattering an image he’s built up for himself over the past fifteen years as a rom-com hack. It’s his film, along with the unlikely-attractive actress Juno Temple, who has a seduction scene with ‘Killer Joe’ that is edge-of-your-seat. For those of us sick- bastards looking for something off the wall, it’s one of the must-sees of the year. Not as surreal as Blue Velvet, but not as poorly-crafted trash as a Grindhouse movie. It’s in an area somewhere in-between, and I can’t wait to see it again.
