Product Description
Product Description
Oscar nominated actor Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) gives his most chilling performance yet in the controversial crime drama the Killer Inside Me. Co-starring Jessica Alba (Good Luck Chuck), Oscar nominee Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), Emmy nominee Simon Baker (TV's the Mentalist) and Bill Pullman (Independence Day), this modern-day film noir shows a small town sheriff up to his neck in murders: his own. When Affleck's sheriff is asked to railroad a talkative prostitute out of town before she makes trouble, he realizes it's easier to just get rid of her for good. Unfortunately, covering up that murder means eliminating more and more people as his problems and complications spiral out of control. Even worse, he's starting to enjoy committing the crimes a lot more than he ever enjoyed dishing out the punishment. Based on the pulp fiction classic by Jim Thompson (The Grifters), the Killer Inside Me is "an assured, stylish film" [Guardian UK] that reveals the danger when a lawman's badge is hiding a cold, cold heart.

No stranger to literary adaptations, Michael Winterbottom sinks his teeth into Jim Thompson's noir classic for this cinematic murder ballad. Set in 1950s Texas, the story centers on Lou Ford (Casey Affleck, chilling yet strangely sympathetic), whose polite demeanor masks a murderer (and marks Affleck's second lethal Ford after The Assassination of Jesse James). The deputy doesn't lack for compassion, but a twisted childhood drives him to inflict pain. He's also a pathological liar, though a union leader (Elias Koteas) and an attorney (The Mentalist's Simon Baker) have their doubts. When Joyce (Jessica Alba), a hooker, gives him a hard time, Ford slaps her around, apologizes, and then falls for the feisty lady, even though his boss (Tom Bower), on orders from a construction magnate (Ned Beatty), asked him to escort her out of town. Plus, Lou already has a girl, schoolteacher Amy (a brunette Kate Hudson), so he finds a more expedient way to push Joyce--and other inconvenient individuals--out of the picture, but he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and his slip-ups outnumber his successes until he comes up with a plan to solve his problems once and for all. Cowriter John Curran's dialogue preserves Thompson's pungent text, though Affleck's drawl renders a few lines indistinguishable. Still, the film looks right for the era with bursts of graphic violence that feel postmodern. If it doesn't surpass The Grifters, The Killer Inside Me offers some of the same sinister thrills as No Country for Old Men. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The movie is quite disturbing (more disturbing than the book which I thought was lighter in tone). The book it is based on is a first person narration told from the point of view of a serial killer. The story follows a small town deputy sheriff who suffers from a sickness which we usually call sociopathy or psychopathy. He has kept it under control for years until a new prostitute shows up in town that awakes the demon. The narrator does not really have any redeeming moral qualities. People who think that books or movies - or art in general - should have a moral purpose or at least confirm our standard moral values will probably find this movie rather despicable.
However, anyone looking to this movie for moral education is looking in the wrong place. Lou Ford is not being held up as a hero in this film or someone to emulate and it is quite clear that no one is endorsing the kind of behavior that is being portrayed in the film. I would also point out that, unlike most shoot em' up movies made today, the violence in this movie is actually hard to watch, which is what violence should be! I think more damage is done by movies that portray violence as "exciting" and "fun" than by movies like this that portray violence as genuinely horrifying.
There are two really horrific scenes in this movie and they are shot as they should be: with very little embellishment. It is just bare. There is no fancy choreography, no crashing through windows, no flying kicks, no dramatic music (that I remember). There is nothing cool, slick, romantic or exciting about it. When you are watching Lou beat Joyce, or Amy lying twitching on the floor in a puddle of her own urine, you just want it to end. You get to see how sickening that kind of violence really is. Which is why I think some of the moral criticisms of this movie miss the mark. It is a brutal movie but it does not romanticize that brutality which I found refreshing.
There were a few things I did not like about the movie. I thought the pacing seemed weird in some places but, all in all, I thought the filmmakers did a good job adapting a strange and disturbing novel into a strange and disturbing movie. Although you will definitely need to cleanse your palate afterwards. At least I did.
The old cars in this movie, we loved seeing them. In fact they were enough of a distraction that once you got into the movie all relaxed....
then Wham!
If you like movies about dark souls and what the results can be,
then this one pulls it off.
Even when you have an idea what's coming, it still made us say WHOA!
It's entertainment. I was skeptical, so I bought it used which made it less of a gamble. No complaints here.
Now if I could just ever...I mean ever, be able to show it to my sister-in-law
it will have proven itself to be a grand investment just to see the shock on her face.
