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

Consumer AdviceContains very strong language, sex, violence, and drug use.

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.
