Because of the small climax before the ending, the audience who watched the film will have a little discomfort with Kendrick from now on. The housewife buys back a whole family bucket, picks up a cigarette and yells, "Come on, have some K Fxxxing C (Come on, eat some fucking Kentucky)", and soon after, she's really caught in that famous verb that starts with F Insulted in an extremely ridiculous way. It's too much spoiler here, let's not go further.
The horror film master Fred King's new cult film "Killer Joe" has a wow-blooded ending. Note that dog blood is a compliment here, and there are indeed some bloody twists in the plot of the movie that can make the audience of bad taste happy. For example, Quentin's famous work "Reservoir Dogs", several extremely cool gangsters all died. How come to the spoiler boundary again, do not say do not say.
Killer Joe is a corrupt police officer in the suburbs of Dallas with a lot of hard work and a strong sense of principle. Two very different identities representing violence appeared on him at the same time, and he had no choice but to support his family. He appeared in the cowboy coolness of a Western movie, shining from foot to head, the police car door opened, the shiny pointed boots inserted into the camera, and gradually rose to reflect the violent equipment he was proud of, smoking belts, torture of handcuffs, a pistol that shoots people, and sunglasses that are enough to hide his emotions. He received money from others to make extra money to eliminate disasters for others. He paid a deposit first when he negotiated a price. In case of default, he would be responsible for the consequences.
He becomes the professional that Chris, the real protagonist of the movie, asks to come back to solve the problem. With no financial income, he has to repay a small debt of $6,000 to the gang, while his biological mother has a life insurance of $50,000, and the beneficiary should be Chris's father. Then, in order to let the biological mother die unexpectedly, in addition to paying the killer's labor fee and repaying the debt, you can also leave a splurge. The father, son, and daughter hit it off together, and it is a picture of the American countryside that is in the same hatred!
But what to pay for the deposit? So Chris' sister, Dottie, is taken hostage. Unfortunately, the killer who took off the big black super sunglasses in front of the little loli almost flashed tears of true love. He hopelessly fell in love with Dottie and lived generously at Chris's house. Since they are all a family, don't mention the down payment to hurt feelings, the killer Joe Lisuo finished his work, returned to Chris's house, and there was the choking Kentucky paragraph. Wait, who is that woman at home? It turned out that what the Chris family wanted to do was the father's ex-wife, not the stepmother and daughter Dottie's biological mother.
The mission was completed, but all those involved found helplessly that the beneficiary of the deceased's insurance turned out to be his lover, who even had an affair with his stepmother. The $50,000 is doomed to fail, but it is easy to send God to God, and the already bloody plot has come to an even more bloody climax.
Director Fred King set his favorite horror movie-style weather for the film, with the sun shining during the day and pouring rain at night. All the dirty, embarrassing, violent and bloody things also happened on the rainy night. The next morning was wiped out by the bright Texas sun. There are always hard-working killers in Texas, who can both rip their stomachs open in the film and make the audience immediately join hands with the bad taste to have a crazy and enjoyable laughter.
The comedy routines are performed in a horror film setting, making "Killer Joe" the most relaxed and refreshing competition film at the Venice Film Festival.
