Killer Joe

VENUE : Festival Theatre

FESTIVAL: Edinburgh International Film Festival

CATEGORY: OPENING NIGHT GALA

The exhilarating, intense, and brilliantly crafted new comedy-thriller by William Friedkin. Chris, a none-too-bright young drug dealer (Emile Hirsch), lives with his even dimmer father (Thomas Haden Church) and his stepmother (Gina Gershon) in a trailer park in Dallas. The trio conspire to murder Chris’s mum for the insurance money and hire policeman/hit man Joe (Matthew McConaughey) to carry out the deed. Lacking funds for a retainer, they loan Chris’s sister (Juno Temple) to Joe as sexual collateral. What ensues is not for the faint of heart.
