KILLER JOE (2011)

WILLIAM FRIEDKIN

Plot

When drug dealer Chris has his stash stolen by his mother, he plans to dispatch of her and cash in on her $50,000 life insurance to repay his debts. He hires Detective Joe Cooper, a dirty cop who moonlights as a contract killer, who sets his sight on Chris’ innocent sister Dottie as collateral for the job. But the agreement turns complicated when Chris’ sister forms a bond with Killer Joe and everything begins to unravel. Dark, sleazy, brutal and viciously funny, Killer Joe is a deliciously amoral offering from iconic director William Friedkin (French Connection, Exorcist).
