Filth

Filth follows Bruce Robertson, a bipolar, bigoted, junkie cop (James McAvoy in what critics are calling the performance of his career) who manipulates and hallucinates his way through the festive season in a bid to secure a promotion. Bruce will stop at nothing to get what he wants and has been enlisted to solve a brutal murder. Threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin and aims to turn his colleagues against one another – stealing their wives and exposing their secrets. As Bruce becomes entangled in scheming against his colleagues, the pressure to solve the murder case begins to take its toll on his sanity. Will he keep his grip on reality long enough to free himself from this filth?
