Would have been a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2013)

Danny Boyle did a brilliant job with directing this film, and the acting is some of the best I've seen. The view on drug use, and the portrayal of the character's lifestyles is also spot on.
What I didn't like about this film, or moreover could definitely be improved, was the script. Sure, the script is well written and injects a fair amount of humour into the film, but it stunts the character development and the audience winds up not caring enough for any of the characters or what happens to them.
That said, the film delivers a flood of unforgettable events, brilliant dry wit, and the loyalty displayed by Renton to his boys is also quite endearing.
Give it a watch, it may just wind up being your favourite film.
