Peng Shun's grasp of this type of film is obviously a certain distance from the ghost films he is good at. In dealing with the relationship between Killer Joe and Gang, it is obviously abrupt, and the turning point is too direct. In the part of turning Joe from a simple boss to a master and a friend, the director did not grasp the nature of Killer Joe very well, but simply treated him as a character, or simply copied the character in the script to on film. Of course, the gloomy and helpless atmosphere of the film is still ideal, especially the hustle and bustle of the streets of Bangkok and the indifference shown by the protagonist in this irrelevant city, which is obviously beneficial. Yu director's experience in dealing with ghost films. Nicolas Cage in the film is already old-fashioned, but this does not prevent him from playing the role of a killer in the slightest. Whether it is temperament or image, it is in line with the true nature of a wandering killer. The only regret is that in the transformation of the killer's psychology, he made the same mistake as the director. And the performances of Yang Cai Ni and Thai actor James Weiss can only be regarded as barely qualified. It is needless to say that Yang Caini, apart from the deepest impression of the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the rest of the time is just a transition in the film. And James Weiss's performance is even less satisfactory. In this role that should be the most brilliant, it has become the same level as Yang Cai Ni, and it has become an out-and-out tasteless.
