Filth (2013)
Directed by Jon S.
Baird this film based on the novel of the same name stars James
McAvoy, Jamie Bell, Joanne Froggatt and Imogen Poots. A police
officer with all the addictions strives for promotion while waging
psychological warfare on all around him.
It seems this
adaptation sticks largely to the novel it is based on and does a good
job of taking a horrid character and making you feel sorry for the
way the story ends in tragedy for him. The plot moves a long at a
fair pace and manages to switch emotional gears seamlessly at the
end. I enjoyed the direction which is slick in places and certainly
has some style to it.
4/5
