Some just like watching, and some ride it

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2011)

This is my first review, before it I used IMDb only for voting (not that anyone would care, votes were for me to plainly compare movies) and movie list.
Now Trainspotting here deserves some words. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the movie from begging to the end, maybe not my type of movie, I don't know. But there's something strange about the name this movie has. I didn't read the novel, but I do know in which context trainspotting was mentioned, and words at he end of movie gives a big allusion to main idea (yeah, I like to act like captain obvious): regular life, having TV, family is just like trainspotting - nothing fancy, but OK if you actually do enjoy it. And the life these guys live is nothing like spotting, it's more like riding train at full speed. Not that it's a better way to get to the destination(if such exist), but it's different, it's hardcore, and this ride most likely end with a fast death. If it's your choice, then go, ride it, but don't kill and upset innocent passengers.
Bottom line: I wouldn't call movie a masterpiece, and it's not your regular drama/action movie, but very well watchable and recommendable
