Filth City (2017)

good back-story, and good acting

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is a very low budget independent movie with the sole purpose of piggybacking off of the Rob Ford crack scandal and making fun of him. It was probably rushed into production at the time and you can tell based on the incredibly weak script and poor production values. It's not worth watching unless you're really into the whole Rob Ford drama, I am and still wasn't that interested in this. It's kind of boring and very weak. The guy playing Ford is decent but the rest of the actors are very weak.

No known Actors (for me anyways). Great plot. Great writing. Good acting. Never know what's going to happen. Fresh characters. Honestly, what a joy to watch this movie. Found it by accident. And know what? I'm changing from an initial 9 to a 10. Why? It was so refreshing watching this movie. I really enjoyed it. Filth City is a throw-back crime drama with bits of genius humor throughout. There's a moment when you are almost sympathizing with the bad guy; a fight, some drinks, a truck and I won't say more. Give it a chance, deservedly so. You don't see many original well written surprise your pants off movies these days. Enjoyed it more than Star Wars! There, I said it. Happy Holidays!

First off let me start by saying that there are no politics in this film. It is loosely based on the infamous "crack smoking mayor" but the actual film has very little to do with his life. This is not a biopic.What it is, is a brilliantly written and performed comedy that will have you laughing and engaged throughout the entire run time. There was probably not a span of over 3 minutes where I wasn't laughing. Every character you're introduced to is funnier than the next. They really brought in some seriously hilarious and professional comedic actors to star in this. Some are so funny that all they have to do is give you one look and you're on the floor laughing.The story is outrageous and extremely fun and exciting and the action and comedy never stops. If you're a fan of South Park or Family Guy than you will love this. If you're a fan of comedies and having a good time in general than you will love this!My advice to you is to not take it too seriously and sit back and enjoy it for what it is; a fun film that will make you laugh and make you forget all of your problems.Anybody who gives this film a bad review either has a bad sense of humor or is pulling out the political card.

As soon as I read the description for this movie I realized it was about Canadian mayor of Toronto Rob Ford.This poor man was ridiculed on talk shows, in newspapers and now a movie. I am sure his family has suffered extensive humiliation on all levels. Now this! The man is dead...please allow him and his family some peace.Obviously, the people involved with the creation of this so called movie do not have a creative bone in their body if this is all they could come up with. Shameful, just Shameful.
