Dirty Pretty Things

A riveting combination of thriller and social drama, Dirty Pretty Things steeps us in London’s exploited immigrant subculture. The story follows a doctor-turned-hotel clerk from Nigeria (a mesmerizing Chiwetel Ejiofor) who stumbles across a heinous black-market operation at his hotel and is forced to either participate or be deported. From director Stephen Frears.
