After having watched a few films directed by Michael winterbottom and being impressed with Casey Afflecks performance in 'The Assassination of Jesse James' I was quite looking forward to seeing 'The killer inside of me.' Affleck plays a deputy sheriff Lou ford who slowly unravels as he commits each murder, so much that others begin to suspect that he is the one behind the killing of Joyce Lakeland (played with great believability by Jessica Alba) and Amy Stanton (played by Kate Hudson), Lou's would be wife.
the film gives you a sense of what a loose canon Lou is, and how easily he can go off, given the right circumstances and you get a sense into how depraved his mind is, particularly when he turns on Joyce and Amy, killing them with absolute silent ferocity.
Whilst this is not the easiest film to watch, (particularly the killing scenes of Joyce and Amy) I found that it is a film that stays with you long after the film has finished, and really highlighted the sense of you never really truly know what a person is like.
