The son, who was in debt, heard from his mother's lover that his mother had taken out 50,000 yuan of insurance, and the beneficiary was his younger sister, so he instigated his father to kill his mother and get a large amount of cash. After repeated research, neither of them dared to do it in person, and the son thought that he could hire a killer. As a result, when the detective killer who is good at calculating and a little perverted joins in, he not only takes a fancy to his 12-year-old sister, but also discovers the details of the family. After killing the mother, the real mastermind behind the scenes was also found out. It turned out that the real predator was the son's stepmother. At dinner time, everyone sat down, and the wonderful show of bloody violence was officially staged.

The film was made by William Friedkin, the director of Twelve Angry Men, who returned after 6 years. It entered the main competition area of ​​the 68th Venice International Film Festival in one fell swoop, and finally won the Golden Mouse Award. At the beginning, the plot of the son and the father plotting to kill the mother made an extraordinary move. When the feminine male star Matthew McConaughey joined, it made the film climax one after another. The superb negotiation skills and the input of the wretched 12-year-old girl , The perverted madness of dinner is impressive and unforgettable. Juno Temple, a young British girl, played the 12-year-old neurotic girl so vividly that she was pitiful. Silly big brother Thomas Haden Church's role as a father who has been counseled at home is also the pinnacle of performance.

Not to mention how the 12-year-old girl knew what pregnancy was about, let alone the crazy killing and abuse scene at the end, the father and stepmother grabbed his son's legs and let Killer Joe slam his son's head with a tin can, and the out-of-control little girl picked it up. The lost pistol shot wildly, and after killing many people, he said "I'm pregnant" to the killer Joe, who was comforting him to put down the gun. on. At the end of the film, a panic instantly calmed down, leaving only my brother staring blankly at the black display screen with a frenzied mood, with a long aftertaste!
