Great

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2005)

A great film with the dialogue and characters that are absolutely amazing. A group of "friends" hit by the boring days in Scotland. The only pleasure they have is Heroine. The press went absolutely ballistic because this film was meant to promote the use of heroine to the youngsters. I think this is completely wrong. The film is built up to explain the effects of the drug, people living in disgraceful flats, not caring about anything else but "hero". Slowly Renton (main character) starts giving up and you can see at the end that "he chooses life" and his maxi flat screen TV. A better message could not been given. A MUST see! It will open your eyes
