About this movie

A gripping mix of friendship, violence and redemption erupts in the contemporary backwoods of the South in this adaptation of Larry Brown's novel, celebrated at once for its grit and its deeply moving core. Directed by David Gordon Green (Prince Avalanche, Pineapple Express, Undertow, All The Real Girls), the film brings Academy Award®-winner Nicolas Cage back to his indie roots in the title role as the hard-living, hot-tempered ex-con Joe Ransom, who is just trying to dodge his instincts for trouble -- until he meets a kid (Tye Sheridan - Tree of Life, Mud) who awakens in him a fierce and tender-hearted protector.

Ratings and reviews

Joe is a good film that captures a story and resonates with people that enjoy a piece of art that has a soul. Rather than the usual crap that has action and no substance. Reminded me of Winter's Bone, another good film, so if you like a story that has some emotional intelligence you will like this.

Joe has been a good mate from the moment I met him he has always been very supportive. The only reason im not giving him 5 stars is that I shot him in the foot with a bb gun and he got mad at me, so sorry joe but you will never be as good as kezza

I understand this film is only now out in the cinema but these prices are totally mad! €7.20 to see this in my local OmniPlex, €9.99 to rent in HD on Google Play and €10.49 to rent it straight to my TV from Sky.
