James McAvoy plays the role of a lifetime as Chief Constable Bruce Robertson - a man who is anything but a model for the law. Bruce is corrupt, narcissistic, drug-addicted and completely ruthless. When a murder occurs in Edinburgh and a promotion is up for grabs, Bruce sets out to eliminate his colleagues by exploiting their weaknesses, spreading malicious rumours and plotting.
But the spiral is dangerous: as Bruce manipulates others, his own sense of reality begins to crumble and demons from his past begin to haunt him. Filth is a shamelessly funny, visually stunning, and surprisingly deep dive into the darkest corners of the human mind.
