“Filth City” (*1/2 out of four) was a sleazy melodrama as one might expect from its title about a mayor (Pat Thornton) running for re-election of a large metropolis who is caught on video smoking crack and will do whatever it takes from this video falling into the wrong hands which results in warring factions between the police and various criminal underground figures. Supposedly based on a true story but you’d be hard-pressed to find either politicians or criminals this dumb in real life. Thornton is cartoonish in the main role and most other characters are unlikeable. Watch “Sin City” again instead.
