Dirty Pretty Things is all about the survival of a Nigerian doctor and a Turkish girl in London life. Okwe (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Senay (Audrey Tautou) work in a hotel where the doctor finds something in lavatory which leads him to discover more about the illegal activities in the hotel and the secret life in London.
This Oscar nominated movie(Best Original Screenplay) shows how the life of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers would be in London. It takes us into the darker side of the city's life where the immigrants degrade themselves so much to survive for their living. Ejiofor as a kind doctor or as hotel worker gives a remarkable performance whereas Tautou with her innocent New York dreams or as chambermaid pulls out convincingly on her first(!!?) English movie . This movie casts with mix of cultures such as a Nigerian doctor, Turkish girl, Spanish hotel manager, Chinese friend of the doctor and a hooker from West Indies. Though the movie has got some flaws(didn't want to tell more on that as it take away the suspense), it gets unnoticed when the movie maintains its unpredictability till the end. Altogether this movie is unpredictable, romantic and a thrilling documentary.
