Review title: I wanted my money back.
Product review: Trying to represent the plight of what other reviewers have called the "gritty London underbelly," Frear's Dirty Pretty Things only utilizes the most melodramatic means to present the most stereotyped picture of immigrant life. The film's heart-wrenching story is wrought with the subtlety of a metaphoric hammer pounding meaning into your priveleged American soul (or of a heart found in a toilet! how avant garde!), while its MTVesque cinematography (red is anger! blue is sad!) is nearly as simplistic. The characters are unconvincing, Tatou's attempt at a Turkish accent is completely incomprehensible, and the central conflict is absolutely undefendable.As a whole, this film depicts immigrants in a overwhelmingly one-dimensional manner, becoming, by the end, an insult to the very people it is meant to "represent". To state that this realistic film on a powerful subject would be a gross, self-delusional lie.
