The Filth



The Filth
                If you thought cops in your country was bad, check this out. This is a British movie about a crooked cop who competing with other cops for his promotion, while a murder investigation taking place.  He goes on a path sabotaging his friends competing for a Job and general being a dirty rotten bastards. Well while trying to catch some killers. He crooked at a level that makes Vick Mackey look he works in Mayberry. He really surprise they made a film that follows someone that that much a piece of shit. This is not a complaint. He is an interesting piece of shit that makes you go “You know what it smells but got a unique smell to it “This cop is a druggy, a Jerk, a sociopath, and sex maniac. The Humor very dark but it gives an out there feel where you enjoy the ride. It also makes the main character funny enough where you go with him…somewhat and drops hints of sympathy. You just want to see what happens to him. That said he does do some horrible things where you loses him. He is not all fun and games. He is a scary mother F’er at times. So he probably goes to lose you at some point in the movie. But that when they heap stuff on him and you see WHY he this way that makes you want to follow him to figure it out. You start to pity him.  Also the people he going after is worst. Although he does it half ass like as possible. There is a change and tone that little unbalance. It gets REAL DARK and serious as the movie goes on. So it kind of a sudden Jarring switch. Thought it manage to still be off the wall during that seriousness.  Also some of the people he tricking come of a little too dumb or push over’s. He so obviously a lunatic...you surprise how he able to pull one over on them. You wonder how this dude remains on the Job in the first place. All through the movie it’s still a good ride. It goes by fast and pace well.  It’s a unique, interesting, fun, wild, drug fuel ride B+

Haunter



Haunter

Aka Casper the Hipster Ghost. Haunter switch things up by putting you in a ghost side of the story. It not like some movies with similar twist, since you know the character are dead from the get goes. The main character knows she dead, it just the family doesn’t. Now she trying to find out way, and about past people who die in the book, and their connection. She does that while trying to talk to the living, even though she was warning not to. The movie stars Abigail Breslin as the ghost teen in Question. She seems to have died in the 80’s due to her clothes and love of labyrinth era David Bowie. She helps keep the story movie since she has to carry different emotion. She has to be scared, angry, sad, happy, nervous, and sometimes all at the same time. She manage to be a ticked off teen but not to bratty about it. She is also enough of the every girl where you follow the mystery as she solving it. It not a big acting type role, it low key and helps drives you a long as the clues given to you. She a bit of cipher that way but manages to do it without being boring. It helps that the small cast pretty good in carrying there rolls. Some of them carry creepy scenes. One problem with the movie is it slow at times. It takes it sweet time. It one of those I get to the point when I get to it, you guys just enjoy the atmosphere type of stories.  This stand out when you become a couple of steps ahead of the character. Also doesn’t help at time it only a little bit of dialogue. That not a huge complaint though since that time is to tell you the rules of the world. Those rules they stick to pretty well. Also you suppose to feel the since of repetitive that the character feeling. When it gets creepy it does it very well. It not real blood or gore, it most atmosphere and weird stuff happening. All and All a nice low key movie a B
