In a combination of Strangers on a Train and Red Rock West,
a father and son hire a professional dirty cop (“Killer Joe”) to murder the
mother, so they can inherit her $50,000 life insurance – and of course,
everything that could go wrong does. Well-written script keeps you
guessing till the end, although I was expecting a more satisfying ending. With far more disturbing R-rated movies around (Se7en,
Natural Born Killers, Passion of the Christ, you name it), the NC-17 rating is surprising. After watching
Bernie and this, I’m thinking, maybe Matthew McConaughey isn’t such a bad actor
after all.
