Raw, Honest, and Intriguing

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2002)

Trainspotting is one of those rare films in a category all of its own. It tells the story of Rents (Ewan McGregor), a recovering drug addict with out covering it up with the normal "Disney" fluff. The characters are raw, edgy, and could certainly be from everyday life. The acting is awesome and shows why McGregor became the star he is. To anyone who like the movie, I highly recommend the book. The dialect is hard to read but well worth the effort.
