    Like the best pulp, though, it gets its hooks into you faster than you can start to wonder why you should possibly care about what happens to any of its despicable characters, and, before you know it, you’ve been pulled deep into its Dantean vision.

    When the florid speeches of volcanic rage and frustration draw to a close - and when Collins and Gooding complete their acting exercises - we still have no clue who these men are and what sent them down their intersecting moral dark alleys.

    Desperate-to-shock slice of sleaze life.

    "Filthy" may have been a better title for Dirty. The rough language is not just pervasive, as the MPAA's R rating describes it, it's assaultive. The violence is not merely "strong," it's incessant, sadistic and broadly unbelievable.

    This is a great,fast-paced, stylish, suspenseful, crime drama. After reding the critics' reviews on here I wasn't expecting much, but, once again, they were wrong on this one also. Reminds me a lot of the cool witty darkness of Pulp Fiction. Very entertaining.… Expand

    This was supposed to be Cuba Gooding's "comeback", in terms of proving he's a serious actor? Please, I'd take that gay boat cruise movie over this any day! This was total garbage. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. That guy should change professions.… Expand
