One of the best British films!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

I first saw this film at the Glasgow Odean & it blew me away, director Danny Boyle has taken Irvine Welsh novel about lowlifes, junkies & one dangerous psycho & has turned it into a wild inventive & extremely funny film. Ewan MacGregor turns in a career best as the lead Renton (or as Begbie calls him rent-boy). For such a low budget film it has so much energy, visual flair & great ideas, a film that has got vomit, excrement, sex(with a minor) violence & a dead baby & let's not forget "the worst toilet in Scotland" with all those elements the film does NOT glamorise drugs it just shows it as it is, & it lets the characters get on with it. I just hope if they ever make Porno- Irvine Welsh follow up to Trainspotting that the original cast & director jump on board.
