Review of Filth (2013) by Leon B — 16 Feb 2014

Review:

This movie was very hard to follow. Half of the time, I didn't have a clue what the hell was going on or what they were saying. When the whole plot unfolds, I was still bloody confused, even though there was a hidden story underneath all of the madness. The performances wasn't bad but I just thought that the movie was over complicated. James McAvoy really does pull out all of the stops with his character, who has some serious personal issues, but the whole movie is forgettable after you've watched it. Average!

Round-Up:

I honestly think that James McAvoy is trying to show a different side to his acting skills with this movie because, in some ways, he is actually the bad guy for once. Some of the scenes were quite shocking and weird which makes you think that the character is off the wall. To be honest, it wasn't what I expected. I hadn't heard anything about the movie, but after seeing the advert, I was expecting a comedy about dirty cops, which it is in some ways, but it does have some depth.

Budget: $5million.

Worldwide Gross: N/A.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there Scottish cop movies with wit and depth. 4/10.
