The Killing Jar (2010)
Unevenly Entertaining
14 July 2012 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
After hearing reports of a quadruple homicide in the neighboring town on the radio, a handful of people at a diner in a dead end town wonder if the mysterious, short-tempered man (Michael Madsen) who arrives shortly afterwards is the killer. Things are far from what they seem.
Though a tense thriller, thanks to the advantage of a cramped setting (everything happens in one night at the diner), it is somewhat uneven, suffering from poorly developed characters (like the police officer) and underscored situations. Still, 'The Killing Jar' is saved by good acting and an intriguing story, and fans of Michael Madsen, who appears in usual form as the unhinged weirdo, are sure to enjoy this one.
