This film boasts an incredible story and a very impressive soundtrack. Trainspotting includes graphic scenes of drug use, sex and death. One of the finest films to come from Scotland, this movie takes audiences through a downward spiral of young adulthood that has become terribly corrupted. The dialog is witty and dramatic, the characters are well developed, and the events throughout will move any audience. This movie is highly recommended for fans of Requiem for a Dream, The Beach, Shallow Grave and admirers of Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and/or Danny Boyle.
