I didn't enjoy this....but you might.
By a customer , 07 Nov 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I would never say don't rent a movie, just because I disliked it. And as far as I am concerned this movie is well acted and suspenseful in places. However I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Its a grim tale which is expected, but it also has a slow pace and because none of the characters are 'good guys' they are also not very interesting other than Killer Joe.
The violence is very realistic and sickening in places. I thought the ending was slightly over the top in a shock value way, and made me wonder if characters would really act like this (in the final scene). If you like gritty films which are unforgiving and bleak you may enjoy this. I wouldn't compare this to many films, perhaps No Country for Old Men, but it doesn't come close to that movies richness.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ace Black comedy.
By Zebras22 (36 reviews) , 18 May 2013Very dark and brooding. Very well acted and the film is a very black comedy. MM shows that he can act in the right film. Friedkins best film in a while.- Was this review helpful to you?

Strong drama but good overall
By a customer , 09 May 2013I agree with some of the comments. It is a very strong movie. The violence is more than physical. It is drama and a strong one. It caught me by surprise I was expecting more action, but what it lack in action it has in drama. All in all I think it is a good movie. Yes it is about a very dysfunctional family and the moral of the plot is probably what others didnt like.- Was this review helpful to you?
