I just love the suggestiveness rolling out of Jon S. Baird‘s Filth, a film that’s sure to be an out-of-control romp. Adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh, who also wrote Trainspotting, this film follows a perverted, bigoted, alcoholic, cocaine-snorting officer of the law, played by James McAvoy. The red -band trailer is vulgar, sexy and not decent for work.
Taking the fact that Welsh wrote the source material, it looks like the story will have real promise. The only question is can Baird, whose only other directorial gig was on Cass which scored a lowly 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, pull off the same wild electricity which made Danny Boyle‘s Trainspotting such a winner?
Have a look at the trailer and see for yourself:
