Killer Joe Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
If you like your movies filled with twisted humor, sexual perversion, psychological intimidation and sudden violence, "Killer Joe" is the flick for you.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Watching "Killer Joe" to the bitter end is like playing the Pick 6 lottery and getting three of the numbers right. You don't win anything, but you still think you're smarter than all those other idiots.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
[Friedkin] has retained his touch ... all these years later. And in Matthew McConaughey, he has the perfect vehicle for madness.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The movie frequently clicks as a sendup of over-the-top film-noir storytelling.
What the Flick?!
Alonso Duralde
Really entertaining, and dark and twisted.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Killer Joe is twisted pulp, and the actors chew on it bravely, boldly, and with varying degrees of success.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's as mean as a snake.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
That everything should go wrong is no surprise, but the wrong turns are taken so viciously -- Gershon, in particular, is appallingly treated, in closeup -- that they lead the film, adapted from the play by Tracy Letts, to the brink of abusive farce.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Like a deep-fried Twinkie at the State Fair of Texas, Killer Joe is gooey, flavorful and bad for you. Dig in.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
At 76, Friedkin still holds our gaze with striking, often ghastly visual images, and despite the fact that McConaughey's entire wardrobe appears to have been rented from Villains "R" Us, Killer Joe lands blow after blow to the psyche.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
The action and dialogue find the same squalid level in time for the climactic scene, the cruel humiliation of a central character.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Out of the muck and mire of human depravity that is "Killer Joe," something magnificent comes: a killer performance by Matthew McConaughey.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It is a tale of white trash immorality on a grand scale, of people who are ridiculous and yet dangerous, laughable but cunning, and really stupid ... yet sneaky.
Time Out Chicago
A.A. Dowd
William Friedkin, that old '70s genre pro, seems reinvigorated by this cast of amoral schemers and their seedy stomping grounds.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The bone-crunchingly violent film has luridly entertaining moments. But by its resolution, this sleazy Southern Gothic nightmare has simply gone off the rails.
Chicago Reader
Drew Hunt
The film harks back to the low-budget chamber pieces of Friedkin's early career, and he creates a perfect storm of montage and character interplay within a confined space, which culminates in a disturbing loss of humanity.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
With what is arguably Matthew McConaughey's best performance to date, Killer Joe is easily one of the most memorable films of the year. You won't soon forget it. Even if you want to.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Killer Joe" is one hell of a movie. It left me speechless. I can't say I loved it. I can't say I hated it.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Friedkin make no attempt to soften the characters' monstrousness, and thank hell for that. This is rave and rage and purge acting.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Like a deep-fried Twinkie at the State Fair of Texas, ''Killer Joe'' is gooey, flavorful and bad for you. Dig in.
