Filth (2013)

Crime and black comedy collide in Filth (2013), not to be confused with the Madonna movie Filth and Wisdom (2008) or the Sex Pistols documentary The Filth and the Fury (2000). Based on Irvine Welsh’s same-named novel, this R rated pic follows the exploits of Detective Sergeant Bruce “Robbo” Robertson (James McAvoy). The crooked cop has a ton of prejudices and addictions, yet is still somehow up for a promotion at his job. When he’s put on a murder case, Robbo decides not just to solve it, but to use it as an opportunity to disgrace his colleagues. Unsurprisingly, things don’t go his way. But things go Mr. Man’s way with regards to the film’s flesh on display! Set in Edinburgh, the crime flick drips with local color as well as oozing appeal from the sexy studs in the cast. For starters, Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell) bangs a dealer’s girlfriend (Jodie McCallum) from behind. Needless to say, Filth lives up to its dirty name! The movie also includes views of Brian McCardie, Eddie Marsan, Emun Elliott, Gary Lewis, Jim Broadbent, John Sessions, and David Soul of Starsky & Hutch (1975-1979) fame! Sure, they’re all clothed but that gives us something to fantasize about. Yet not everything is left to your imagination since Mr. McAvoy exposes his McAbs and McAss! As his character goes mad, he even shows off his butthole. Nothing crazy about that! Despite the fact that this offbeat pic received mixed reviews, it’s worth watching with a box of tissues!
