Review of Filth

Filth (I) (2013)
10/10
this is as close as you can get to a Quentin Tarantino movie without it being a Tarantino movie

"Filth" is from "Trainspotting" author Irvine Welsh. If you remember what the latter was like, then you'll have an inkling of what this movie is like. And believe you me, "Filth" features every type of debauchery known to humanity. James McAvoy's corrupt, vicious, manipulative cop makes you feel as if you're walking on eggshells, but you still gotta love him. Throughout much of the movie I couldn't understand what the characters were saying. These are some THICK Scottish accents.

Basically, there's everything to like about this movie. It's a tour of Edinburgh consisting of sex, drugs, and more! There are times when I started wondering if it was even appropriate for me to enjoy the movie, but trust me, even the most WTF scenes are there for a perfectly good reason. Really good.

Also starring Jamie Bell (Tintin in "The Adventures of Tintin"), Jim Broadbent (Horace Slughorn in the Harry Potter movies) and Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter movies).
