Critic Reviews

Robert Koehler

The cop genre receives a shot of adrenaline in helmer Chris Fisher's Dirty, a no-nonsense dramatic response to the LAPD Rampart scandals of the '90s. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Like the best pulp, though, it gets its hooks into you faster than you can start to wonder why you should possibly care about what happens to any of its despicable characters, and, before you know it, you’ve been pulled deep into its Dantean vision. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

When the florid speeches of volcanic rage and frustration draw to a close - and when Collins and Gooding complete their acting exercises - we still have no clue who these men are and what sent them down their intersecting moral dark alleys. Read full review

Benjamin Strong

Cuba Gooding Jr. and Clifton Collins Jr. (excellent as Perry Smith in "Capote") habitually rise above their clichéd roles. Read full review

Jack Mathews

"Filthy" may have been a better title for Dirty. The rough language is not just pervasive, as the MPAA's R rating describes it, it's assaultive. The violence is not merely "strong," it's incessant, sadistic and broadly unbelievable. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A facile exercise in nihilism posing as an indie "Training Day" with street cred. Don't believe it. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

An excruciating indie knockoff of "Training Day." Read full review

This is a great,fast-paced, stylish, suspenseful, crime drama. After reding the critics' reviews on here I wasn't expecting much, but, once again, they were wrong on this one also. Reminds me a lot of the cool witty darkness of Pulp Fiction. Very entertaining.

This was supposed to be Cuba Gooding's "comeback", in terms of proving he's a serious actor? Please, I'd take that gay boat cruise movie over this any day! This was total garbage. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. That guy should change professions.
