Entertainment Reviews:
James McAvoy goes whole hog in FILTH....Compared with this maniac, the rotten policeman of two BAD LIEUTENANT films is a garden-variety bad boy.
New York Times
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Somehow, though, the film itself becomes like a drug, and seeing it and the lead character's personal journey through to the end becomes like a compulsion.

"Filth" lives up to its title and then some, but a no-holds performance by James McAvoy is reason enough to watch.

Viewers hungry for a catch-all dose of Welshian sardonicism would be better served checking out Trainspotting. Better soundtrack, for one.

Rating: 4/5 --
There is a grotesque whimsy in Filth that calls to mind the delicious dark humour of American Psycho and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

Dear Cast and Crew
Credit the filmmakers with descending persuasively into the swampy squalor of a diseased mind. If you're in the mood to go there with them, Filth offers an indecently bracing wallow.

Rating: 3/5 --
Despite the crassness, the degradation, and various other offensive counts that rightfully earns the story title, there's an undeniably enduring quality to Baird's adaptation.

Product Description:
James McAvoy stars in director Jon S. Baird's outrageous dark comedy based on the book by Irvine Welsh, and centered on the exploits of a debauched cop on a mission to crack a murder case, earn a big promotion, and win back his estranged wife. Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson (McAvoy) is unlike any cop on the force. A pervert, a drug addict, and an irredeemable jerk, he thinks he's in control, even as his life spirals into oblivion. Now, in order to earn a major promotion, Detective Robertson will actually have to work, instead of hustling his way though each day in a haze of drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, the harder he tries to get a grip, the further his future seems to slip out of reach. Jamie Bell, Jim Broadbent, Imogen Poots, Shirley Henderson, and Joanne Froggat co-star.
