MCT:May 13, 2008Ive wanted to see this film for years - and no wonder really. Heroin addiction is shown here in both lights - at points its fantastic, hilarious and brillianly shot. Other times its dark and gruesome enough to make even horror lovers squirm. Plus that soundtrack too! Any list of favourite films that does not include this is a pretty poor list. Choose life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a fucking big television to watch this on. Plus the book is pretty damn good...very different though.

MCT:May 13, 2008Despite the glamourization of being a smack addict in Scotland, this is a brilliant film, and features one of my faves, Ewen McGregor. Having once been both in Scotland and been a Heroin addict, (Not at the same time) I can honestly say that it frighteningly realistic, and even though they really try not to glamorize it, it still managed to, and make Iggy Pops 'Lust for Life' a calling card to the film. Another aspect that N.Americans had a problem with was the Scottish burr, (I can't believe they actually had to subtitle the Bar scene,...C'mon, its not THAT hard to understand...(But then the author has been likened to 'A Clockwork Orange' and Anthony Burgess' use of phonetically Scottish wording. Despite the whole deal, the ending comes through brilliantly, and makes the best point.

Excellent film - brilliant soundtrack. Ewan McGregor does a fabulous job portraying his character of a heroin addict, and absolutely love Robert Carlyle in this film. Overall, just brilliant.

Completely unforgettable movie. Even if the idea will forever be rehashed in possibly countless movies to come, I've always liked movies that revolve around drug addiction. The surreal imagery of drug crazed "trips" blurring into scenes of reality was just great to see on screen. I never would've thought that Ewan McGregor could play such a convincing addict in a movie. But he has me completely convinced in this one.

A sublime movie that dares to challenge the audience. Although not rewarded much at oscars it has bagged a BAFTA award as a cult classic.
Brilliant directing by Danny Boyle & the soundtrack rocks.
Trainspotting is one of the most effective anti-drug i've seen since 'Requiem For A Dream' & 'Blow'. The depiction of heroin addiction is raw. All-time best cult classic.

what a movie.. it gives you different persepective of drugs abusing, why they're doing it, why do they keep doing it, etc.

Probably as good as it will ever get from Danny Boyle - but hey, that is also pretty damn good!
