Filth City (2017)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Good movie but grossly overrated

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

There are a few funny moments in the film, but they're just moments. The story is absurd, but it's more in the realm of crazy and surreal rather than hilarious.Calling it "low-budget" doesn't excuse the weak script. How much does it cost for paper? I know that time to write a screenplay is not free, but seriously, write a good script before you start shooting. Everything else was done well - the visuals, the sound, etc. But no amount of money could make this script into something good or funny.Avoid.

No known Actors (for me anyways). Great plot. Great writing. Good acting. Never know what's going to happen. Fresh characters. Honestly, what a joy to watch this movie. Found it by accident. And know what? I'm changing from an initial 9 to a 10. Why? It was so refreshing watching this movie. I really enjoyed it. Filth City is a throw-back crime drama with bits of genius humor throughout. There's a moment when you are almost sympathizing with the bad guy; a fight, some drinks, a truck and I won't say more. Give it a chance, deservedly so. You don't see many original well written surprise your pants off movies these days. Enjoyed it more than Star Wars! There, I said it. Happy Holidays!

First off let me start by saying that there are no politics in this film. It is loosely based on the infamous "crack smoking mayor" but the actual film has very little to do with his life. This is not a biopic.What it is, is a brilliantly written and performed comedy that will have you laughing and engaged throughout the entire run time. There was probably not a span of over 3 minutes where I wasn't laughing. Every character you're introduced to is funnier than the next. They really brought in some seriously hilarious and professional comedic actors to star in this. Some are so funny that all they have to do is give you one look and you're on the floor laughing.The story is outrageous and extremely fun and exciting and the action and comedy never stops. If you're a fan of South Park or Family Guy than you will love this. If you're a fan of comedies and having a good time in general than you will love this!My advice to you is to not take it too seriously and sit back and enjoy it for what it is; a fun film that will make you laugh and make you forget all of your problems.Anybody who gives this film a bad review either has a bad sense of humor or is pulling out the political card.

Filth City is an excellent low budget satirical farce, using Toronto's Rob Ford years as a jumping off point and ending with an impressive body count. It may not be everyone's cup of tea (or bowl of crack), but I found it entertaining from start to finish with a well-written script, credible acting, and engaging characters. Almost all of the characters are deeply flawed, but at the same time, hardly any of them come off as irredeemable villains, and that's a tribute to the writing. There's a bit of pathos here and there, and a high degree of gore, but mainly, the filmmakers are delivering up comedy. Standout comic performances include Pat Thornton as Mayor Hogg and Chris Locke as a bumbling cop. But really, there are laughs to be had in almost every scene. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and as long as you don't either, and you're willing to laugh at all the absurdity, I highly recommend it.
