Plot Summary
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose…TRAINSPOTTING. Director Danny Boyle (127 HOURS, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) thrills in this "original, daring" (Salon.com) tale of a group of young drug addicts wheeling through blue collar Edinburgh that earned an Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay. Starring Ewan McGregor (MOULIN ROUGE!) in an unforgettable breakthrough performance, TRAINSPOTTING electrified audiences and critics with its hilariously dark humor, stunning visuals and sharp honest take on both the exhilarating highs, and the terrifying lows, of addiction.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: For better or worse, sometimes strictly for the sake of shock value, the stylish irreverence of "Trainspotting" mimics that drug high and delivers its own potent kick.
Fresh: It would be hard to imagine a movie about drugs, depravity, and all-around bad behavior more electrifying than Trainspotting.
Fresh: Trainspotting is a singular sensation, a visionary knockout spiked with insight, wild invention and outrageous wit.
Fresh: The film is about joy -- in conniving and surviving, in connecting with audiences, in its own fizzy, jizzy style. And that's why, compared with it, most other films look zombified.

Genius
Still no other movie quite like Trainspotting. Raw, funny, sad, creepy, gross, perfect.
Hard to Describe
It makes you uncomfortable, in all kinds of ways. Raw, check. Disturbing, check. Funny, check.
This is a must see.
