Dirty (2005)
2/10
horrible!

This is an amazingly bad film. My wife and I, having been forced to chose between a Julia Robert's flick called Closure, opted for this shoot 'em up cops and robber movie instead thinking since it's got Cuba Gooding Jr. how bad could it be. Turns out that even with CGJ in it, Dirty still bombs bigger than Hiroshima.

The only thing challenging about this movie, besides not fast forwarding right through it, is trying to count how many times the words 'f***', 'motherf***er','hommie', and 's***' are used. It seems that these are about all the words necessary in order for Chris Fisher to construct a scene. For example...

'Yo you're a motherf***er for f***ing my s*** up, man. Hommie, I ought cap your f***ing ass you mother motherf***er' - a horrible sentence yet one found in various configurations countless times throughout Dirty.

Besides the profanities - which I might mention I have no problem with in general as long as they're used to accentuate a point - the other problem I had with Dirty was the plastic characters.I also loved the scene with the drug dealing Canadian Hells Angels - who are easily identified because they're carrying...hockey sticks (!) and uttering the word 'eh' every second they get.

Overall, this movie was a complete tomato and definitely not worth a penny. Spare yourself the agony of watching Dirty and see Ishtar instead. You'll be better off in the long run!
