James McAvoy as Bruce "Robbo" Robertson smoking a cigerette on a cropped poster for Filth (2013)
The Big Picture Based on the Irvine Welsh novel of the same name, Filth is a surreal, funny, tragic, and disturbing film. In the genre-bending dark comedy, James McAvoy gives us his boldest character ever as a despicable protagonist. Beyond the wild chaos of his performance, Filth's story is also bolstered by the genuinely unexpected plot twists – adding to an overall thrilling onscreen experience.
Release Date September 23, 2013 Director Jon S. Baird Cast James McAvoy , Jamie Bell , Eddie Marsan , Imogen Poots , Brian McCardie , Emun Elliott Runtime 97 mins Main Genre Comedy Writers Jon S. Baird , Irvine Welsh Studio Lionsgate, Ascot Elite Expand ‘Filth’ Lives Up to Its Name Set in Edinburgh, Filth focuses on Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson who is investigating a murder case.
There are two sides to Bruce Robertson. There is the malicious side which is on display for much of the screen time, but there is also a side to him dealing with deep-rooted issues. Bruce’s main goal in the film is to get a promotion at work to become Detective Inspector. He berates, manipulates, and humiliates his colleagues in pursuit of this end goal, and possibly just for the hell of it. At one point, he even asks, “See, every time a woman drops her trousers — promotion.
Through all of the outwardly malicious behavior, Bruce still manages to show empathy, albeit only to one person — Mary . Bruce meets Mary on the street as she calls for help for her dying husband. Bruce tries to save his life and forms a bond with Mary over the loss. He shows genuine compassion towards Mary, even going as far as to give her his phone number and address in case she ever needs anything. His scenes with Mary sit in stark contrast to his scenes with his colleagues.
