Run time: 120 min.

Based on the legendary novel by pulp writer Jim Thompson, THE KILLER INSIDE ME tells the story of a handsome, charming, unassuming small-town sheriff’s deputy named Lou Ford (Casey Affleck, GONE BABY GONE). Directed by Michael Winterbottom (A MIGHTY HEART, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE), the film takes place in an idyllic West Texas town in the early 1950s. A lifelong resident, Ford has difficulty juggling his long-term girlfriend Amy (Kate Hudson, ALMOST FAMOUS), a prostitute named Joyce (Jessica Alba, SIN CITY) for whom he has mistakenly fallen, and his own sociopathic tendencies. In Thompson’s savage, bleak, blacker-than-noir universe, nothing is ever what it seems.

Please note that this film contains some scenes that may upset sensitive viewers.

I have no trouble with violence in movies, but the intensely graphic sexual violence to each woman in this film, combined with their liking it and wanting more, seemed almost voyeuristically pornographic. Casey Affleck was good as always in this film, but I thought much of the dialogue was difficult to make out, whether it was this screening, the mumbled dialects, or the filmmaker's editing, I can't say for sure. The film was interesting in its portrayal of this cherub-faced sociopath; what was most disturbing to me was the reactions from the 2 equally cherub-faced boys--perhaps 16 years old-- who were sitting next to me, as they chuckled and cheered when the most brutal beatings of the women occurred. This movie is not meant for those of an impressionable age or mentality, but for an adult audience who can view it in context.
