Sorted
Synopsis
Think again.
Justin Dawson is twenty-six and a successful London lawyer. He lives in a spectacular bachelor pad and has a beautiful girlfriend. Carl is Justin's twenty-four year old brother. He's a downtrodden Scunthorpe lawyer and he lives in a terraced house with his mother. When Justin dies in a tragic accident, Carl travels down to London to collect his brother's belongings. Leaving his mother and grey, mundane life behind, Carl finds he likes the thrills, the pretty girls and the London life that his brother had.
Once he digs deeper into his brother's affairs, Carl discovers a side to Justin, far from the affluent corporate lawyer he secretly envied. After meeting Justin's eclectic mix of friends, Carl's eyes are opened to the club scene that his brother was very much a part of. Sunny, Justin's beautiful, classy girlfriend, also discovers a hedonistic side to his life that she never figured in.
Carl and Sunny grow closer and together they share memories of Justin and his pipe dream of getting away from it all. When Tiffany, a tough but troubled ex-model, arrives on the scene, she seems to know more about Justin that she's letting on. Tiffany lives with the sinister and totally eccentric Damian, who runs the raves and supplies the drugs - the drugs that Tiffany uses to tempt Carl away from Sunny.
Damian is the arch manipulator and is only interested in masterminding Tiffany's seduction of Carl and his own seduction of Sunny. Tiffany is soon revealed as a pawn in Damian's game. As they're drawn into a dangerous underground web of blackmail and deceit, Carl and Sunny realise they're in too deep and Carl is forced to question how far his perfect brother was involved and whether his death was really an accident.

Sorted
Director: Alexander Jovy
Year: 2000
One-time teen heartthrob Jason Donovan seems to have got a taste for dressing up in women's clothes. Not long after wowing theatre audiences with his rollicking performance as Frank N Furter in the West End revival of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, he's starring as a customs officer-cum-transvestite DJ in Sorted, the new film by Alexander Jovy. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Donovan stars alongside Matthew Rhys and Tim Curry (the original cinematic Frank N Furter) in the story of Carl (Rhys), an unworldly young lawyer from Scunthorpe who moves to London following the mysterious death of his brother, who, he discovers, was a successful lawyer by day and a rave fiend by night. Soon Carl is introduced to a world of sex, drugs and thumping house beats (provided by some of Europe's top names including Leftfield and Mauro Picotto), controlled by the sinisterly eccentric Damian (Curry). But Carl's new-found high is short-lived as he begins to unravel the mystery surrounding his brother's death.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Although Sorted and Human Traffic share a common setting -- the vibrant UK rave scene -- producer Mark Crowdy insists that Sorted is very different. "It's really not a gritty London club movie," he says. "We also wanted it to look spectacular so hired Mike Southon [RKO 281] to light the film, and did the post using electronic laboratory, which allows you to grade every single shot and gives you many more special effects for your money."<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Metrodome will be releasing the film in the UK in October.
