Filth it is.

I liked the movie sure. However, i got a huge problem with it, and that's we are merging comedy, actual comedy with a serious tone, dark, depressing sad movie. At times it's a bit hard to follow what's going on, but i get most of it.

Our main character is depressed cuz his wife and daughter left him. He then manipulates his friends. It was fun to watch, a goofy movie like Hobo with a Shotgun. The only problem i have with this is the fact that we got a dark depressing story, merged with dark comedy. It does not work. You don't know if you want to laugh or be sad?

Also, you don't know if you want to like your main character or hate him. I'm guessing that was the point. That you got a man that's just down, depressed, you know the reasoning to his pain, but he does terrible stuff.

I don't know if it was just me, but at times it was kinda hard to follow. So many characters. However, i'll say right i never got bored when watching the movie. It will constantly keep you going and think about what's next going to occur.
