Dirty Pretty Things (2002)

interesting movie but ...
... couldn't help but notice that none of the baddies in the movie is an english man - the factory owner who exploits tatou is an asian - indian or paksitani, the villian who trades in kidneys is spanish ...

c'mon the movie is set in london and are we to expect ...

recently there were reports in press as to how english immigration officials were sexually abusing women immigrants who wanted to stay back ...

Dirty Pretty Things
After falling in love with Amelie and (especially) He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, I was on a desperate hunt for more Audrey Tautou films to watch. Dirty Pretty Things is a movie about illegal immigrants and organ harvesting in London. Some great social commentary exists around the twisted knots of sub plots making this a pretty good film. However, roughly 20-minutes could have been chopped out (i.e. the hooker with the heart of gold type character who poorly provided comic relief) and this definitely made parts of the movie just drag. Warning: A good bit of rather graphic sexual violence directed at women.
