The Killer Inside Me (2010)

 
Sadism and masochism beneath a veneer of revenge. Lou Ford is a mild-mannered sheriff's deputy in an Oklahoma oil town in the late 1940s. Lou has a bunch of problems. Woman problems. Law enforcement problems. An ever-growing pile of murder victims in his West Texas jurisdiction. And the fact he's a sadist, a psychopath, a killer. Suspicion begins to fall on Lou, and it's only a matter of time before he runs out of alibis. The district attorney suspects Lou, and Chester Conway, the town's wealthy king of construction, may have an inkling, but Lou stays cool. Is love, or at least peace, in the cards?
