One of the Best films of the 90's

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2000)

This film has almost everything- Sex, violence, drugs, language and Iggy Pop. The novel of this film is completely a waste of time, but when it is put on the screen like this (especially by Danny Boyle) it gets good. The actors are electrifyingly good, especially Ewan McGregor's breakthrough performance as a Scottish youth who's trying to get off heroin. His journey to get off drugs is funny, sad, and thought provoking. And only in this film can you have a man swimming in a toilet. A++
