Some people say that this is a weird chicken movie, and that’s right, but it’s not pretending to be forced, not screwing, and there are no so-called cool shots. The narrative is so sophisticated and skillful-director William Friedkin, directed that year The famous "French Drug Network" and "The Exorcist" are now more than ancient times, and the old swords are out of the sheath, and their sharpness is undiminished, which embarrassed the second-hand young directors.
The plot is not to be said, in short, a bunch of wicked people are tossing stupidly. At the beginning, the son knocked on the door violently, as if to kill; the stepmother who opened the door was naked, and the father was wearing a child-style pajamas; after the greetings at the house, they quarreled and roared. Such a prelude, so that the design of killing mothers no longer appears cruel.
The last scene truly achieved a climax. All the characters are confined to one room, their personalities are highlighted, their emotions begin to explode, the dialogue is accurate and humorous, and the violent performance belongs to the usual characteristics of the old William: hard, fierce, and pragmatic. As for the fried chicken drumstick-I won't reveal it here, it's just horrible fun.
What needs to be explained is the behavior of the characters at the end: Why did the father and stepmother pounce on the son and want to kill him? This seems a bit unnatural. However, in the view of the couple, since the son is the cause of the incident, he has the responsibility to make things happen. Only when he is dead can this unbalanced family restore a little peace-at least that couple thinks so. Killer Joe's strength and sense of security are what this family desperately lacks. They would rather their daughter follow Killer Joe, and there is no way of knowing that there will be benefits in the future.
Finally, I will talk about the flaws of the film. It is more than brilliant but lacks innovation, and there is more than entertainment but lacks the taste of life. This is also the usual limitation of the old William, so four stars-it is worth watching.
