The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This movie is about a Nigerian refugee, that is illegal in the U.K. he works at a hotel, and lives with another illegal refugee that works at the hotel. His boss is corrupt, and takes organs from illegal refugees, and in return they get passports. He learns that Okwe has a doctor degree from Nigeria and pressures him to help him, and in return he gets a passport. Since Okwe lives her illegal he has a lot of trouble with the people that works to get them out of the country. Since they both are here illegal they have to take shitty jobs, and low pay. their bosses disrespect them, and make them do all kinds of things.the movie has low sound quality, you cannot hear what they say because of the accent and because of the background noise. Do not recommend this movie.

This movie is about a nigerian immigrant called Okwi. Okwi is struggling to survive in the undergrounds of London. He works in a hotel as a receptionist. He does also work as a doctor.On to the review: This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot of movies, a lot of differents genres. But if you want to waste one and a half hour of your life, or even 1 hour and 37 minutes, feel free. English language in this movie is genuinely horrible. If you don'twatch the movie with subtitles, you will not understand very much. The Indian actors can't speak English very well. That was my review. Please do not watch this movie!!

The film is not for teenagers and up to 30. The Movie is a bit boring. There is always a problem of getting a job in the film. And it is basically about the main characters getting a passport. They are in the country illegal. so it is based on this theme. But i am not sure how to feel about the film. If you are of the old generations, you would watch this without problem. the new and younger generation would not feel like they would watch this movie. If you are into immigrants and people. you could watch his. If the people actions had more of action and feelings it would be a much better movie. I rate it 5 our of 10, I am a teenager, i don't like this content. but hey, who knows, maybe you wil. The music is good, it is placed in agood time in the scene's. it does match often.

I think the plot was bad. I don't know if i can say that the actors were good or not, i mostly watch action or horror so this movie was bad, but that's just my opinion. The sounds on the movie, since it was made in 2002 i understand why the sounds and the music were different than movies that are filmed today. I didn't understand, well to say it out, "shit" in the beginning. I didn't understand anything before i came in the middle of the film. Dirty Pretty things is a movie that i would like to give a rating of 4. The reason i give the movie a rating of 4 is because it was not good. It wasn't bad either, but it wasn't my type of film.
