Like a 20th-century magical realist version of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy narrated by a lad from Edinburgh hooked on skag. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- What's interesting, viewing the film now, is how it manages to be both inarguably of its time, the mid 90s, but also has not dated nearly as badly as most youth culture movies tend to. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- Trainspotting is a searing pop-art portrait of a lost generation blowing out its brains. As they rail, chuckle, shout and dive into darkness, you're trapped yourself between a bellylaugh and a scream. Full Review

As in his first film, Shallow Grave, Boyle's up-your-nose style of filmmaking is a ghoulish hoot. Full Review

...The lasting after-effect of watching TRAINSPOTTING is a sense of exhilaration...

Rating: 4/5 -- Like the work of some sort of maverick theatre troupe, it's all carried off with a real concentric, anarchic verve. Full Review

Product Description:

A kinetic, intimate look inside the subculture of heroin abuse, this acclaimed adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel follows the misadventures of Renton, a brash, twenty-something Edinburgh junkie, and his nihilistic chums Tommy, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie. Alternately comic and off-putting, the film ultimately comes down to Renton's choice between self-destruction or life. The stellar soundtrack should not be missed.
