Summary: Incredibly entertaining
Review: This movie was great. I found myself laughing at loud at parts and just shaking my head in disbelief at others. I was impressed by the ending as much as the attention-grabbing beginning, which is rare in movies. I'll never touch heroine.

Summary: The life of the addicts with english humor...
Review: This is not the first one but one of the best film on the drugs addicts. It shows the real life with a sort of second degree which give interrest to the story. Of course some scene are a little bit...disgusting, in this movie you'll see 'the worst toilets in scotland' for example... Try this film, it is a gret moment and the B.O. is just excellent! Just an advice : avoid watching this film while you are eating...

Summary: It was one I should have liked more...
Review: Transpotting is a good movie, but it was one I should have liked more. I love offbeat films but this one just seemed to go by so slow. I was shocked to see that it was only 94 minutes long. Midway though it, I thought I couple of hours had passed by (honest!). I assumed that Transpotting was going to be along the time lengths of Magnolia or Titanic. Boy was I wrong!

Summary: Astounding
Review: I must admit, I was skeptical when a friend of mine recommended this movie (enthusiastically, might I add) to me. I had heard some not so pleasant things about it, but decided to take the plunge and find out for myself. I was absolutely blown away. It was all things to me, interesting, shocking, visually stimulating, enthralling, and highly emotional. The actors themselves did an outstanding job in their respective roles, and were eerily convincing as junkies. I found myself truly envolved with the characters, through their exstasy and agony, their loss and gains. Ewan McGregor is pure genius, and has a certain quality that makes you really connect to his character. This is a disturbing film. However, I highly recommend it simply for the fact that it is a superbly crafted film.

Summary: Brilliant british film, but the Canadians get the best disc
Review: For once it's not US users that get the best deal. European version has the film and some sketchy biogs, 5.1 sound for dialogue and music. The Canadian Region 1 disc, however, includes a 22-minute documentary, deleted scenes (I assume the ones on the Special Edition VHS) and the original theatrical trailer.

Summary: Wow--what a movie!
Review: I first saw this movie a couple of weeks ago, and really had no idea what it was about. Let me tell you, it was astounding. What struck me most about the movie was how it realistically portrayed drug addiction: there was no romantisization. I don't think I have ever seen a movie that could be so funny (the toilet scene, the trip to the outdoors, etc) and so terribly tragic (the baby scene, the overdose, hallucinations). This movie really makes you appreciate your own life, that is for sure. Wonderful acting and dialogue. I think they should make everyone see this movie at least once.

Summary: Great movie
Review: This is a great movie about a group of scottish heroine addicts. I believe it was one of the top 100 of the BFI (British Film Institute). This is a must see for everybody.

Summary: Actual Trainspotting Is Certainly Better Than Heroine....
Review: This excellent film portraying the grim reality of drug culture in today's society is something every one should see. Told in a poignant and intelligent way through the eyes of Renton (Ewan McGregor) we immediately sympathise with him and follow him through his miserable life as a drug addict. To prevent us from turning away from the nasty bits in the tale there are some incredibly funny bits which add to the tragedy of the tale, a brilliant soundtrack and a good pace as well as some fascinating, though hardly likeable, characters such as the psychotic Begbie and wide boy Sick Boy. A very good film indeed and is certainly a good public health warning against drug-taking.

Summary: HOW TO REDEFINE COOL BRITTANIA IN 94 MINUTES
Review: This film epitomises everything that Hollywood isnt, and I love it. Superb performances from a cast not shy to make the parts their own and that comes across well in the context of making the story believable and dramatic. This film doesnt condone drugs, but it gives meaning to the beast, "What they forget, is the pleasure of it all" - Renton. Im still undecided on the greatest motion picture ever, Trainspotting or The Empire Strikes Back.

Summary: Great
Review: This is one of the greatest films of the nineties. The brilliant shots, the amazing characters, it blew me away the first time I saw it. By the way, does anyone know what the term trainspotting means?
