Chris's mother, who everyone hates, has a life insurance policy that would clear up his debt and make them all rich. The problem is that Chris' mother is very much alive.

Review For Killer Joe |
If you like your movies filled with twisted humor, sexual perversion, psychological intimidation and sudden violence, "Killer Joe" is the flick for you. Tom Long-Detroit News
You will either love "Killer Joe" or run away screaming. I absorbed this NC-17 nail bomb with awestruck admiration. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
[Friedkin] has retained his touch ... all these years later. And in Matthew McConaughey, he has the perfect vehicle for madness. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
You end up feeling sorry for all the actors forced to humiliate themselves, except for McConaughey, whose portrayal of sadistic, manipulative evil is mesmerizing. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
The movie frequently clicks as a sendup of over-the-top film-noir storytelling. John Hartl-Seattle Times
If y'all like your comedy with a Lone Star drawl and as black as Texas tea, then by all means tuck right into Killer Joe. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star
McConaughey is funny and fearsome in the title role, the devil holding the family accountable for their choices. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
As sordid and vile as possible. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Killer Joe is America at its worst but Friedkin and McConaghey at very close to their best. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
One of the best films of the past year-bracing, funny, uncompromising-arrives on home video in a package that makes good on its swelling rep as an American indie video nasty. John Semley-Slant Magazine
A wily script, smoldering suspense and slick dialogue keep the drama lively. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine
It's like a cheap, nasty dessert: completely devoid of nutrition, probably very bad for you, but kind of delicious while it briefly lasts. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
Only the faint-hearted or KFC kitchen staff should give it a miss. Andy Lea-Daily Star
Stage-to-screen adaptations are rarely this primal, and it's been a long time since a William Friedkin film has felt so vital. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
The humor magnifies the horror, and vice versa. Like the inflammatory Dr. Strangelove, we've sewn these seeds, and we deserve whatever is reaped from them. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
Killer Joe will leave many people in shock, confusion, and in need of a thorough shower by the time it's done. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant
The scene with the fried chicken drumstick might cause Colonel Sanders to repurpose one of his famous buckets as a barf bag. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Killer Joe is a white-hot fever dream of a film. A toxic swill of sex and violence, Joe is mordantly funny, tantalizing and, ultimately, shocking. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
Matthew McConaughey gives an intensely wry performance while director William Friedkin applies his old-master craftsmanship to a brutal, ugly story. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Killer Joe will both infuriate and impress, but when it impresses there is nothing quite like it. It plays on the senses and lingers in the mind, McConaughey is brilliant and Friedkin finds himself in his best form in years Will Chadwick-We Got This Covered
Resembling yard sculptures in a trailer park, where trash becomes art, "Killer Joe" is a Picasso signed with a branding iron. Graham Killeen-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Sick and twisted in the most interesting ways. Scott Weinberg-Twitch
A daringly impressive and darkly funny work, which sees its director William Friedkin return to the audacious spirit of his early films. Andrew Moraitis-FILMINK (Australia)
Aside from Letts scathing one-liners the best reason to see the film is McConaughey. His Killer Joe is a quite brilliant variation on cool villainy. Peter Galvin-sbs.com.au
It unfolds like a prank. After freewheeling dangerously and thrillingly for 90 minutes, it skips the relief and goes straight to the punishment. After that: The final, puzzling twist suggests that it may not have been a joke at all. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
May well do for the fried chicken leg what Friedkin's The Exorcist did for split-pea soup back in 1973. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
