Killer Joe--Better than I Thought

Watched Killer Joe over the weekend and thought it was much better than I was expecting. Found it twisted, but entertaining. I thought Thomas Haden Church and Emile Hirsch gave great performances as the dim-witted father and son. Juno Temple was amazing as the sister. Matthew McConaughey was good, but as in almost every role he plays, I just see Matthew McConaughey, not the character.
Overall, I liked it. Took me a while to realize it was filmed in Nola area(looks like mostly Westbank, Slidell, New Orleans East). Not a big fan of the ending:
Spoiler Alert
Does she kill Joe? Does she ride off into the sunset with him and have her baby? I'm not clear on this. I want her to kill him and get the hell away from her nut job family that whored her out. She was a little cuckoo herself, but I found her kind of crazy endearing in that, awww, she's so clueless kind of way, but she wasn't as clueless as we were supposed to believe.

I actually thought this was one of his best roles. I thought he was great in it.

The ending was a bit much for me, though overall I liked the movie. Apparently it was originally a play--makes you wonder how that last scene transmitted to the stage.

Amazing last bit of the movie. Had me rolling.
