Movie Critics
"…an exciting but brainy, cross-cultural thriller about modern London and life in a contemporary urban pressure cooker, and it depends more on plot, character and atmosphere than it does on chases and gunfire…" "…stirs mystery in social commentary... smart direction, give the movie a gripping edge, both as biting social commentary and as a pulse-pounding mystery…" "…Despite its provocative title... Dirty Pretty Things doesn't crackle with intensity. Although the film delves into an interesting topic - black marketeers trading in human flesh - the approach is far too clinical... it's definitely more dirty than pretty." |
