Need help with title...

A few years ago I rented a movie that I can't remember the name of. I do know that it is not 'Dirty Pretty Things'.

It started off with an escort drugging a man (who ended up being an undercover cop) so a tall black man could come in and steal his kidney. I think it was a English movie because throughout the movie there were two English gangs fighting each other.

Any help would be appreciated!

A few other possibilities (but they don't deal with English gangs):

The Harvest (1993)
Donor Unknown (1995)
Donor (1995)

Unfortunately it wasnt the Harvest. Sounded familiar, but I will have to try the other two.

I vividly remember the undercover cop on ice in a hotel room bathtub after the escort/hooker drugs him if that helps anyone...

Do you mean a short film? I am sure it came from netflix, but it was so long ago I cant recall much about the movie. It may have been Donor or Donor Unknown but I cant find those anywhere. This is pretty frustrating.

Hi. Go to videodetective.com. Search for "The Donor". That will take you to a page for that movie. If you click on the Video Link on the bottom left of the page, you will see a trailer for the movie (after a commercial). See if that looks familiar.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about 24 Hours in London (2000).

A wretched little movie - but I remember that scene. Probably because it's the only scene I watched (I think I turned it off about 10 minutes into it).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222666/

Plot Summary:

Big time criminal Christian is on a mission to eliminate all his rival gangs in a slightly futuristic London. During one of the hits a witness survives and the police think they have the key to a successful arrest and conviction. Working for Christian are the usual band of over the top gangsters with no regard for the life of others.
A mysterious couple have a sideline in black market human organs. Sharp-shooting bad guys wage war on the police and a bleach-blonde godfather is making merry with a samurai sword.
