Filth (2014)

Amazing film. This was one of those where I just couldn't stop watching. It was like a bad high school crush where no matter how many times you get hurt you just can't stop coming back because you love them so much. Even if you're not a big fan of corrupt cop films, it will find a way to keep you weirded out until you enjoy without knowing you are.James Mcavoy. That's all I need to say. This guy just keeps getting better and better. Everyone else...meh. James Mcavoy... that is all you need to know. He's basically the entire film.Comically insane would be an understatement. I was profoundly affected by this film and before I could understand why... well, I'll leave this spoiler free but lets just say that I was incredibly disturbed by the end. Still a good film though.P.S. Don't watch it with your kids.

McAvoy one of the best for me! His roles as being psychopath are quietly brilliant! Just observe his mimics, his emotions, his intonation and stuff. It is the most difficult to be a "bad-boy", or "a mad one", as far as I am concerned. I've seen it many times, and every time there appears to be smth that I missed. That's the stuff I like the most about movies. And, obviously, that's why I prefer some philosophical ones to see, because every time you see, you have different interpretation in your head, and you notice more details, get more jokes and stuff. If you have enough time, I DO advice you such types of movies. they are aaawesome!

I absolutely loved this film, it was unexpected, gross, violent yet it had an incredible charm, specially to people who like very intense, deep emotions and that like to emotionally merge with a character. What I didn't like is that the summary (and also other websites) wrote about Bruce having BPD (borderline personality disorder) which I think is completely wrong because there's no part in the movie that says so and because he clearly displays bipolar, sociopath and even schizophrenia traits. As a BPD clinical diagnosed person I strongly believe the Borderline mention is wrong.

I already read the book of this film when it first came out many years back, but only got round to the film adaption lately.For any unacquainted with author Irvine Welsh's work then he is a man with a dark imagination that seems to merge dark humour, biting satire and grim reality all together without signposting it all. He can twist as well as the best of the thriller writers and outgun any comedian.In this story, we centre round the misdeeds of a immoral policeman whose life has entered a downward spiral, and there's more to meet the eye. Practically everyone in the film is a miscreant, with the few exceptions, and we are on a journey through the lewd side of Edinburgh which isn't advertised on the biscuit tins.Anyhow, the jokes are nasty, the humour unforgiving and the characters unsympathetic.You'll either love it or be bored. Some have found this really funny, I just didn't take to it. James McAvoy in the lead is excellent as always, but it doesn't work for me.It's a fine film, but I couldn't enjoy it and I'm no prude. I love Irvine Welsh's work, but this wasn't one I loved and this adaption hasn't changed my mind.Take it or leave it is all I can say about it.
