The Killer Inside Me - Interesting and violent thriller

'The Killer Inside Me' is an odd little film to try and describe.  It has a story which twists, turns, doesn't really go anywhere that predictable and yet does keep you engaged with the characters and want to know what's going to happen.

Casey Affleck plays a small town Sheriff deputy who's respected by the community and yet, like so many shady film protagonists, has more than a few dark secrets.  For a start, he's having an affair with a prostitute who he's supposed to be 'running out of town' behind his girlfriend's back.  And that's not going into his ability to hurt and even kill people who get in his way.

Because Affleck is clearly not a nice person, you don't necessarily have to 'root' for him or identify with him.  However, like other 'anti-heroes' you probably will want to see if and how he's going to get away with his deeds.

It's not a film you can go into too much detail regarding the plot, as I don't want to give away any 'spoilers.' It's an interesting little film as it can be anything from thriller, serial killer murder mystery, drama to vaguely sado-masochistic 'adult' film.  Everyone plays their parts well, but you may need a strong stomach to sit through some of the more violent scenes.

Probably not for everyone and definitely not a film you want to watch with your mother.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
