This movie did not live up to the expectations of horror and suspense pertaining to movies of this genre; perhaps it didn't intend to do so. "Dirty Pretty Things" turned out to be a story about suppression of love and desire. The struggles of illegal immigrants in Britain were so hard to watch because the filmmakers seemingly force you to take sides.
Are dirty and pretty the adjectives for the same thing? Or, dirty things and pretty things have to co-exist since they need each other? Apparently there is no easy answer. This movie probably will not be a unforgettable one, but it's that kind of story with a message that we should not dismiss easily out of hand.
