What a horrible movie! Two thumbs up!

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2005)

Trainspotting is the story of a humor, violence, goofiness, abuse, friendship and sadness in heroin-addicted Scotland.
It's a really vulgar film, with lots of disgusting scatological humor, pointless violence, and the pain of a life on heroin.
But it's very well done, with a snappy, realistic script, lots of genuinely funny moments, some truly moving and sad scenes about this horrible existence, and, in the end, many important things to say.
I ended up liking this movie, even with the harshness of some of the scenes. I don't know if I necessarily need to see it again, but it's worth seeing once.
8 out of 10.
