One of the best independent movies ever

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2000)

The clear message in this movie: Choose life over drugs! If this movie doesn't stop you from doing drugs, nothing will. This should be viewed by anyone using drugs, or getting off of drugs. Ewan McGregor gives the performance of his career as Renton, the junkie who tries, but still loves being on drugs. Everyone in the cast is perfect, and the soundtrack is hip and fun. Best scene is the condom scene. Warning: This movie is not for everyone and is graphic and distorted at times, so should be viewed with caution if you are easily offended (I am not, but this movie did shock me). Highly worthwhile if you enjoy character studies and independent films.
