This is a great little story set in Texas about an insurance scam that you know right away wont end well. Just in like TCM4, McConaughey plays a fucking creep, and it does it wonderfully. Not that Vilmer and Joe are very similar, because Vilmer was an erratic mess, but Joe is calm and collected. Of course, he still goes off the deep end when someone pushes him, but he's very particular about his routines. Hell, he even threatens to wear someone's face. And then, like any chainsaw movie, there's a dinner table scene where it all goes south.

I really like Killer Joe. It's one of those gritty deep-fried crime dramas that feature a lot of rednecks, incestuous vibes, and violence. I also want to say that the character of Ansel played by Thomas Hayden Church is a great, laid-back hick who goes along with everything. He amuses me, but everyone does good in the movie.

Emile Hirsch kind of always looks like a piece of shit, what with his facial hair and whatnot, but he's been in some good movies. Then, you have Juno Temple playing Dottie, who's in her 20s playing a 12 year old that everyone looks at sexually. Uh oh. emoticon Of course, this plays a big part in the storyline, but it still makes us all inherently uncomfortable. Gina Gershon is good too, playing a sleazy broad who we never quite trust. Because of her, you may never look at fried chicken the same way ever again.

The movie was based on a play, but last I heard, they were trying to make a tv series about it. Not sure how that would play out, because the movie is pretty concise. Not much room for expansion, me thinks, but what do I know?

McConaughey is awesome.

I know a lot of people don't like TCM4. It's got a 3.2 rating on imdb, so that ought to say enough. I still think it's so dumb, it's awesome. Probably my favorite sequel to the original series, even more so than 2 and 3. Sure, 3 has Foree and Viggo, but I viewed that one a bit more action-oriented. Leatherface had more of a wrestler vibe to him in that one, but in TCM4... it isn't even about Leatherface! He's a true piece of shit in that movie, and McConaughey steals the show with such great lines as, "Come back to my butt, now!" and "Why aren't my batteries charged?!"

Glad you liked it. It's one of my favorite movies of the last decade. I think the tagline sums it up perfectly:

"A totally twisted deep-fried Texas redneck trailer park murder story"
THC not only has great initials, but he's definitely the comic relief in the movie. He just wants to relax and have a beer and bang his wife, but he's dragged into a money scam. So nonchalant about everything. A great character.
