Exceeded my expectations noticeably.

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2018)

8.5/10 for clarification.
Trainspotting's opening sequence is a beautifully powerful representation of what the film undeniably succeeds at and revels in: quality performances an accompanying soundtrack that energises and propels the picture, deliciously dark humour and excellently crafted dialogue.
Although some of the drama occasionally veers towards being a little tedious, Trainspotting always seem to redeem itself with a hilarious moment or unique line of dialogue.
Throughout it's duration, Trainspotting hosts a commendable number of stunning and original scenes. I personally found the ending to be a spectacular affair that left me reeling to watch the sequel.
