Common sense dictates that serial killer flicks and spaghetti westerns don't share the same DNA. But that didn't stop Director, Michael Winterbottom, from trying to breed the two genres. Not unexpectedly, The Killer Inside Me--as it's name virtually suggests--is a ghastly abortion.
The protagonist (played by Casey Affleck) is a nerdy deputy sheriff who missed his calling as an M16 Agent because he's as crafty as James Bond and scores equally hot women (Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson).
Affleck beats up his babes and kills them then whacks all potential witnesses until half the town is dead and his colleagues, undoubtedly members of Mensa, finally conclude that he's the only possible suspect.
To make matters worse, there are a handful of unresolved subplots such as the wannabe Perry Mason played by Bill Pullman and something about a murdered rapist step-brother.
I would rate The Killer Inside Me three stars out of ten but Affleck's solid acting and Alba's tush combine to merit a fourth.
