In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Dirty Pretty Things (2002)
A drama directed by Stephen Frears.
A Nigerian illegal immigrant is in London, working for a cab company by day and a hotel by night. He stays with another illegal immigrant who is not supposed to be working because of her visa status, but works at a clothing factory and has to sexually satisfy her boss so that he does not report her. The hotel that the man works at is in an organ smuggling ring. Yes, the plot is complex.
The characters were very good and I think that the actors did a good job. The plot was obviously complicated, but still pretty cool. Style barely came into the picture, as keeping track of characters and plot was my main focus. Overall, it was nice, but nothing special. I'm rating it o.k.
