This isn't a pleasant film. "Killer Joe" is an endurance test. The violence, ineptness, and depravity of its characters pushes the limits of enjoyability. Yet there's a great sadness to the film. It's rare for a film to make the grisly just desserts of irredeemable people a tragedy, to turn the audience's cheers into shocked sorrow. But if you can make it through, "Killer Joe" is one of those films.
