A stark shocking view into the reality of addiction hell!

Rating: 2/10 (27 July 2000)

This film received rave reviews when released, but I still fail to see why. True it depicts an accurate image of drug crazed idiots set in a very real Edinburgh. But on the whole it is totally depressing, shocking, and just not enjoyable.
There are some elements of humor but these cannot be enjoyed as one person after another suffers at the hands of their addiction. This film could be used for a government health warning. Alcohol, drugs, AIDS, violence all are featured in abundance. However this is not entertainment, just a sad reflection of todays pathetic malcontents who have no respect for themselves or others.
