Sorry, this movie sucks
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

... View MoreThe Killer Inside Me is a rather unpleasant film that never decides what it is trying to do. The story of a 1950's west Texas sheriff harboring a dark secret, the film is a well-appointed yet hollow period piece that confounds and disgusts rather than provokes and inspires.Casey Affleck turns in a reliably intense and committed performance as the sociopathic sheriff, but he is unable to overcome the haphazard characterization, poorly-written women, and wavering tone that plagues the rest of the film. Winterbottom never truly settles on how to tell the story, with moments of suspense and dread giving way to what one might call whimsy in a matter of seconds. The events of the end of the film retroactively draw into the question the decision-making and competence of all of the characters around Affleck, and leave the viewer frustrated. The absolute gutter-level CGI does the film no favors either.Featuring some of the most graphic on-screen beatings I've ever seen in a film (no, I haven't seen Irréversible), this 2010 film might be the one that comes back to haunt 2017 Casey Affleck more than any other. It certainly looks like a poor choice in roles considering the accusations levied against him that were highly publicized during his run toward an Academy Award win this past year.The film certainly deserves the criticism it received upon release for the gratuitous violence inflicted upon the women in the film, who seem to exist solely to receive this pain. We are left to wonder what kind of story could have been told with a more thoughtful script and more subtle hand behind the camera.
... View MoreFrankly, I do not understand how come this movie has 6.1 rating among the viewers - this is what misled me as I opted to watch it. To me, the story is rather flat, most of the time the next event is pretty much predictable... Or, in some moments, it does not have a decent reasoning.The plot, in general, is pointless - it basically has no moral behind: you see some corruption, some sexual and psychological perversion and, as the result, crimes committed by police official. The end of the movie missed the intrigue and is just boring.The pace of the story-telling seems rather lazy and while at the beginning you still find it distinctive, but you believe (or hope) that it will get better and more interesting and there's going to be more of intensity as the story progresses. However, that does not happen.All in all, I feel pity for spending those couple of hours in vain.
... View MoreThis is a completely misogynistic film; it involves countless acts of violence against women. On top of that, it condones domestic abuse because the female characters are shown liking that abuse."Art" and "freedom of speech" cannot be used as excuses to celebrate messages of hatred. It's not 'just a movie'; media has an affect on individuals and society as a whole. To depict acts of violence without outright condemning the abuse is completely irresponsible writing and directing.I've seen a lot of sexist and misogynistic films but this one is on top of the pile.
... View Morea local sheriff is told by his boss to roust this local prostitute in order to gain information from her,, so the sheriff goes over there, and they talk ,, things get heated,, and eventually they start having sex everyday. Doesn't seem like much of a plot,, but this movie is about the mind of someone very disturbed, he is a sheriff by day and psychopath killer by night. Casey Affleck does a good job in the picture as the town sheriff, kate Hudson,, and the sexy Jessica Alba are in the movie as well,, the one thing that is hard to watch is the way the women in the movie are tortured and beaten almost to a bloody pulp,, I guess they didn't need to go that far to get their point across but I guess they had to show just how disturbed our villain was at the time,, a hard watch for some,, but if you're not squeamish then give it a look.
