Weve seen it before, but this action flick is a quick, funny watch, due mostly to a masterfully ridiculous performance by Travolta, that only sags a little at the end.

Forget the controversy surrounding the brutal violence, The Killer Inside Me is a well-acted, thought provoking film noir impressively told from the twisted point of view of a serial killer.
