Dirty (2005)
1/10
Oh dear

Watch Training Day instead. After all, the writer/director/cast obviously did. The speeded up scratched images have fast become a gimmick of a weak film rather than the edgy style it once was (Seven, Fight Club).

Cuba Gooding Jnr?! He won an Oscar over 10 years ago, since then what has he done? Boat Trip, Michael Jordan Underwear adverts and this terrible rip off of Denzel Washington in Training Day. He is truly woeful.

Take some time to consider who he beat that year: William H. Macy, James Woods, Edward Norton and Armin Mueller Stahl.

In this movie, rather than Denzel, Cuba reminded me very much of Malcolm Jamal Warner...Theo Huxtable

It's a pity because the lead actor, Clifton Collins Jnr looked like he could have carried a film. I think a personal conflict of gang connections, the law and dirty cops would have been much better for him.
