The luminous Audrey Tautou (Amelie) stars in Dirty Pretty Things, a riveting thriller about an illegal immigrant in London named Okwe (Chiwetal Ejiofor, Amistad), a doctor in his homeland who now works days as a taxi driver and nights as a hotel desk clerk. When a hooker tells him there's a mess in one of the hotel's bathrooms, Okwe finds a human heart in the toilet. He soon discovers a snare of desperation, poverty, and black-market body organs--and finds that his only friend, a Turkish hotel maid (Tautou), may be the next to be caught. Dirty Pretty Things, skillfully directed by Stephen Frears (High Fidelity, Dangerous Liaisons, My Beautiful Laundrette), fuses taut suspense with an unsettling portrait of life among the British underclass of immigrant service workers. Thanks to the excellent cast and script, the movie makes its social points subtly, while the gripping story coils itself around you. --Bret Fetzer

It's been a while since I've seen this so I don't exactly have that much to say save that I remember it being a really good movie.

I saw this a few years ago, so I don’t remember all of the details, but I remember that it was very strange. The whole organ-selling thing was a little creepy, especially since this stuff really does happen. I thought Audrey Tautou was outstanding. I anticipate her stock blowing up after The Da Vinci Code comes out.

This was an outstanding movie. It really puts you through the range of emotions and punches you in the gut with the emotion charged throughout this film.

Oh, and Audrey Tautou doesn't need a new movie to break out...she's already quite well known as it is
