Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things is a flawed gem, beautifully shot. Anything beyond the synopsis would diminish the story that unfolds. Though it does get a little predictable, the two lead characters keep you there until the end.
Fantastic performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou (though I didn't buy she was Turkish), with great support from Sophie Okonedo (The Slap) and Benedict Wong (most recently under utilised in Prometheus).
The final moments of the film are just wonderful and held me through the credits right until the final sound plays out as they end.
Totally Tautou!
