SPOILERS must be tagged with the "SPOILER" tag!

Ansom Mount? You mean Potsie from Happy Days is in this?

There was another movie that also showed at last year's Toronto International Film Festival called Killer Joe to which this has been compared. Both films take place in the South and involve sexualized teenage characters who eventually come to be victimized by much older men, in this case, a cast-against-type-and-supposedly-excellent Matthew McConaughey (from what I've seen so far, he is surprisingly good). Basically, he's supposed to be this sheriff who moonlights as a contract killer. For his latest job, he is hired by a father and his son (Thomas Hayden Church and Emilie Hirsch) to murder his wife who stole drugs from the son (her stepson). They can't afford his retainer so agrees to help them in exchange for taking said teenager (Juno Temple) as sexual collateral. It has already gained controversy because of the NC-17 rating and because of a supposedly disturbing scene involving KFC and some of the reviews I've read have compared it to Hick. Anyone heard anything about this film, without veering too far off topic (I'll start a separate thread if I have to)?

Early buzz on "Killer Joe" is that it's William Friedkin's best film since "To Live and Die in L.A."

Not everyone with the first name "Anson" is associated with Potsie.

Well I loved To Live and Die in L.A., probably more than most on here. I thought that it took the conventional cop-thriller in some very unconventional directions while still providing the jolt of adrenaline that is expected in the genre so now I am definitely looking forward to Killer Joe. As for Hick, I can't say I'm all that surprised that Chloe Moretz would end up in this sort of role sooner or later. She seems to have learned at a young age that risk-taking is rewarded in Hollywood, especially when it comes to actress (Kick-Ass was a pretty bold move) so I for one am looking forward to seeing how her career develops overtime.

0% on the Tomatometer. Rare. But I have to agree. I was really hoping this movie would be good, but I definitely can't recommend it.

Who are some directors that you guys would like to see Chloe work with?

Potsie was played by Anson Williams.
