Killer Joe (2011) -

The Twisted Morality of William Friedkin’s Killer Joe (2011)

Directed by William Friedkin and written by Tracy Letts, the 2011 film Killer Joe is an uncompromising exploration of the American Southern Gothic tradition. Adapted from Letts's 1993 play, the movie plunges viewers into a "trailer-trash madhouse" where desperation leads to a gruesome, dark-comedy-infused crime. A Desperate Plan

The story follows Chris Smith (Emile Hirsch), a small-time drug dealer in deep debt. Desperate for cash, he hatches a plan with his dim-witted father, Ansel (Thomas Haden Church), to murder his mother for her $50,000 life insurance policy. To execute the deed, they hire Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a Dallas police detective who moonlights as a contract killer. The Human Retainer
