Am I so naive that a movie like Dirty Pretty Things would shock me?

It's a compelling and disturbing story about illegal immigrants in London - a somewhat dark suspense mystery that also acts as a wakeup call to the plight of the struggling and society's marginalized.

It stars Audrey Tautou, of the film Amelie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, a British Nigerian who was also in Amistad. Ejifor is an excellent actor and his character Okwe is a very likeable hero protagnist.

Go watch it! (Note: it is intense and may be too graphic for young viewers.)
