Near perfect film about addiction.

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2001)

No film comes to my mind that deals with addiction as well as "Trainspotting". The scene where Renton gets ready to get off junk in particular is a gem. The truly brilliant and most disturbing scene (at least in my mind) has to be when Renton is locked in the bedroom and is having withdrawl symptoms. The only comment I have is that it is imperative everyone watches this film.
