Filth City

This movie is a parody of Toronto mayor Rob Ford and his crack smoking scandal, etc. That is all fair game and could make for a very funny movie, unfortunately this movie is not done well enough and is not funny enough to be worthwhile. It's just a bunch of the expected cheap jokes and hammy actors chewing up scenery in one poorly written scenario after another. The guy playing Ford had some pretty funny moments and drags this movie up but overall this movie is quickly forgettable, disappointing given the rich subject matter, and just play not worth the time invested because it's not a good movie and also not even funny. Very disappointed in this one.

This is a very low budget independent movie with the sole purpose of piggybacking off of the Rob Ford crack scandal and making fun of him. It was probably rushed into production at the time and you can tell based on the incredibly weak script and poor production values. It's not worth watching unless you're really into the whole Rob Ford drama, I am and still wasn't that interested in this. It's kind of boring and very weak. The guy playing Ford is decent but the rest of the actors are very weak.

As soon as I read the description for this movie I realized it was about Canadian mayor of Toronto Rob Ford. This poor man was ridiculed on talk shows, in newspapers and now a movie. I am sure his family has suffered extensive humiliation on all levels. Now this! The man is dead...please allow him and his family some peace. Obviously, the people involved with the creation of this so called movie do not have a creative bone in their body if this is all they could come up with. Shameful, just Shameful.

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.

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 the New Star Wars! There, I said it. Happy Holidays!

It only takes five minutes of watching and you realize this is a horrible B flick! Movies this bad are usually produced in Toronto. I wouldn't be surprised if this was based on ex Mayor Ford and his corrupt brother Doug.

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.
