Rating: 10/10 (15 October 1999)

Trainspotting is a movie that not everybody will like. But then again, when did anyone ever make a movie that everybody liked? Graphically portraying the highs (no pun intended) and lows of drug use, Trainspotting is a film whose essential message is an anti-drug one.

Director Danny Boyle has created a modern masterpiece that will change the way people look at a syringe.
There are great performances by Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle, and the soundtrack is excellent in rapidly creating and changing the scene. (who can forget the drug overdose with Lou Reed's Perfect Day playing along in the backgound?)
Overall, this is a harrowing tale that at times makes viewers sick, and at times is downright hilarious. One thing is for sure, Renton & co will go down as great cultural icons for the 90's.
