Dirty Pretty Things

What do a Chinese prostitute, an illegal immigrant posing as a cab driver, a clogged toilet, a Turkish chambermaid and poker games at a mortuary have in common? Ordinarily, absolutely nothing; however, writer Steve Knight skillfully weaves these seemingly random dirty pretty things into a captivating yet chilling screenplay, which director Stephen Frears successfully translates onto the big screen for this shocking thriller. After a human heart is discovered in a hotel toilet, London’s seedy side is revealed. Things get pretty dirty, which makes Dirty Pretty Things all the more enticing.
