Killer Inside Me, The

In "The Killer Inside Me," Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford (Affleck) is an affable guy with the clean-cut image of a Boy Scout. But he has a deranged and dangerous side. When he's told by his hard-drinking boss to force a trouble-making prostitute to get our of their West Texas town, Lou faces a dilemma, since he himself is involved with the hooker, Joyce (Alba). Joyce's angry reaction to Lou's request that she clear out leads to a brawl, then to kinky sex—during which Lou gets rough. Very Rough. He quickly realizes that covering up his brutal crime means eliminating more and more people. But even as his problems spiral out of control, Lou comes to enjoy committing crimes a lot more than he ever enjoyed enforcing the law. Based on the novel by Jim Thompson. (Gary Reber)
