Customer Reviews of Dirty Pretty Things
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.
Dirty Pretty Things...
This movie was better than I thought it would be, and the acting was very good! Audrey Tautou makes the most of her role...four stars!
A European thriller with important social elements and plot twists galore
Dirty Pretty Things is a suspense thriller with both a love story angle and a healthy dose of social commentary about the plight of illegal immigrants in London. It's packaged with a sexy Audrey Tautou on the cover, but the title and cover belie the gritty, intense nature of this sublime European film. The central character, Okwe (Chjwetel Ejiofor), is an illegal immigrant from Nigeria working as a night porter in a London hotel. His love interest Saney (Audrey Tatou) is a Turkish immigrant seeking asylum in Great Britian and working illegally as a chambermaid and seamstress. Okwe discovers evidence of a murder in Suite 510 at the hotel, and despite the fact that his co-workers tell him to mind his own business and ignore any dirty things that happen in the pretty hotel, he starts to unravel a criminal web of black market transactions. Soon, he and Saney are waist-deep in the criminal underworld, unable to turn to law enforcement for fear of deportation.
