ReviewsSight and Sound - ...The lasting after-effect of watching TRAINSPOTTING is a sense of exhilaration..., Time - The film is about joy--in conniving and surviving, in connecting with audiences, in its own fizzy, jizzy style., Film Comment - ...A larkish black comedy, paced like a Beatles musical yet grounded by the charming misanthropy of Irvine Welsh's best-selling novel....[With] a starmaking performance from Ewan McGregor..., Entertainment Weekly - It would be hard to imagine a movie about drugs, depravity, and all-around bad behavior more electrifying than TRAINSPOTTING., USA Today - "...A dark, Tarantino-style humor courses through its veins...This hip rave-up is zippily entertaining....Ewan McGregor delivers his needle-sharp narration with raw charisma" -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars, Rolling Stone - Electrifying [...] Harrowing and hilarious, Los Angeles Times - Exuberant and pitiless, profane yet eloquent, flush with the ability to create laughter out of unspeakable situations, TRAINSPOTTING is a drop-dead look at a dead-end lifestyle that has all the strength of its considerable contradictions., Variety - Scabrous, brutal and hip, TRAINSPOTTING is a CLOCKWORK ORANGE for the '90s. [The] performances are terrific at all levels
Additional InformationA kinetic, intimate look inside the subculture of heroin abuse, this acclaimed adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel follows the misadventures of Renton (Ewan McGregor), a brash twenty-something Edinburgh junkie, and his nihilistic chums Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Tommy (Kevin McKidd), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle). Alternately comical and dark, the film ultimately comes down to Renton's choice between self-destruction or life. The stellar soundtrack should not be missed.

    A shocking story

    Addiction is real, this movie has shocking content I now understand how scary and powerful the heroin addiction is. Good purchase however it did skip a few scenes at the end ..,I guess due to it being a second hand purchase? Ewan McGregor very good actor.

    Utter rubbish

    Brought this original DVD for a planned party weekend to watch the original 80's film followed by the second one. Friends around then the DVD sticks at 20 mins and won't play. Total rubbish. Looking closer at the DVD and packaging it looks like a fake - can't believe I fell for buying it. Completely ruined the weekend and will never buy from Music Magpie again.

  • This film is a lot of things, but mostly...

    This film is a lot of things, but mostly it's honest. Trainspotting covers the the tremendous highs and cruel lows of addiction. Beautiful, raw and often frightening visuals, dialogue that makes you think and a story that keeps you engaged.
