Review of Trainspotting (1996) by Joel A — 02 Mar 2017
An intense but thrilling portrayal of local scot Renton (Ewan McGregor) & his desperate attempt to get off Heroin. He seems to be able to shake it for a season but his friends keep roping him in.
Filled with many unforgettable scenes & such clever & realistic dialogue. But it is truly Robert Carlyle who steals the show as Renton's most violent & potent friend who doesn't touch the needle since the drug of violence is enough for him.
This is a heavy watch but it's wildly entertaining & is a real journey on screen, not for the faint hearted but an incredible film.
