best movie i've ever seen.
... View MoreIt's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View MoreEntertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreThis 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.
... View MoreThere are a few funny moments in the film, but they're just moments. The story is absurd, but it's more in the realm of crazy and surreal rather than hilarious.Calling it "low-budget" doesn't excuse the weak script. How much does it cost for paper? I know that time to write a screenplay is not free, but seriously, write a good script before you start shooting. Everything else was done well - the visuals, the sound, etc. But no amount of money could make this script into something good or funny.Avoid.
... View MoreNo 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!
... View MoreFilth City is an excellent low budget satirical farce, using Toronto's Rob Ford years as a jumping off point and ending with an impressive body count. It may not be everyone's cup of tea (or bowl of crack), but I found it entertaining from start to finish with a well-written script, credible acting, and engaging characters. Almost all of the characters are deeply flawed, but at the same time, hardly any of them come off as irredeemable villains, and that's a tribute to the writing. There's a bit of pathos here and there, and a high degree of gore, but mainly, the filmmakers are delivering up comedy. Standout comic performances include Pat Thornton as Mayor Hogg and Chris Locke as a bumbling cop. But really, there are laughs to be had in almost every scene. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and as long as you don't either, and you're willing to laugh at all the absurdity, I highly recommend it.
