Killer Joe 2011

Opens with a disgusting family. The characters are setup fast with all the impending complications from the plot. So far so good. What follows?
Stereotypical redneck characters (stripper, mentally challenged father, drug dealer son, a cop that's a killer, used girl) with unbelievable morals, making stupid decisions to drive the farcical plot. Mediocre dialogue that treds the same ground again and again, somehow even with plot development. Add in some boobies, bush and perv stuff to be dark. The Pacing feels like an episode from a TV series. The ending makes it the dumbest redneck movie of the year that wants to be edgy.

If any other director made this movie the professional critics would have probably disliked it. It's not awful, it's just humdrum. It's a Coen brothers movies without the pseudo-intellectual nonsense.

The positives. Least Gina Gershon looks good for her age. The ending is unintentionally funny.
