I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I like red band trailers and a film like Filth is good reason why. If you’re dealing with dark, mature material, it’s hard to really convey the essence of the piece without giving us a taste for the down and dirty aspects.
Jon S. Baird directs a script torn from the pages of Irvine Welsh‘s novel, who also wrote Trainspotting. Filth will enter the canon of the corrupt police-officer genre with James McAvoy at the helm of the madness.
If you haven’t already checked out the first – and equally red band – trailer, check it here. Otherwise, enjoy the filthiness of Filth. (I hope I don’t have to say that this isn’t safe for work.)
