Review of Dirty Pretty Things (2002) by Alex D — 13 Jul 2013

A gorgeous film with a very intense and strong social commentary about the treatment of illegal immigrants. Just an overall great film, well acted and well shot. Ejiofor was really good in the lead role and completely believable.

The only problem I had with it might be its music, sometimes I think it did not fit the mood for me. However its other strong areas manage to make me forget. I found it also to be a little melodramatic at times but not enough for it to take away the stronger sections of the film for me.

So minus the sound design, overall a very powerful film.
