Terribly overrated, juvenile

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2017)

Boyle directs this in his usual teenage-style of fast cuts, cool music, and with little real empathy for his characters. Trainspotting is so overrated, largely because its unique in its own way.
I've watched countless gory horror films, yet the scene where the sh*t hits the... well bowl in this case, was probably the most abhorrent thing I've seen on screen. Was there any need for it? Does anyone want to look at human feces on screen?
Boyle is not a good director, despite the hype. Watch the Beach again, and Trance, the boring Sunshine, and he just comes across as if he's just graduated from film school and has all these cool tricks to try out. No depth I'm afraid
