Check Out A New Clip From ‘Filth’

James McAvoy is about to wow audiences in the presumed unfilmable film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel FILTH, which arrives in Scottish cinemas this weekend. The rest of the UK will get a chance of seeing McAvoy playing dodgy copper Bruce Robertson from next Friday, but to tide you over here’s a new clip from the film. Jon S. Baird takes the reigns of this British film, which also stars Jamie Bell, Imogen Poots, Jim Broadbent and Eddie Marsan.

Synopsis: Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?
