Early work from Danny Boyle is pretty freakin' amazing. His choice of soundtrack and camera angles are always really good as is the production value. The performances are all really good, especially McGregor and Carlyle. The story is silly and shiny and dreadful and disturbing all at once, but the tone is surprisingly well-balanced that it doesn't get uneven. This was a pretty gross, albeit honest, look at the drug world, even today. Not for everybody but it's still a really well-made movie.

A very energetic and clever film that maintains the difficult balance between comedy and tragedy excellently, and makes brilliant use of the soundtrack to develop the story.

Danny Boyle blows everything else he has helmed right here with Trainspotting. Much like another film similiar to this but not associated with: Requiem for A Dream, which was released four years later at the time. It's as if Darren Aronofsky copied this original concept and modified it. A dark but jolly and riotous journey into drugs. Suspicious, jocular, cheerful, unconventionally odd and eccentric while also retaining the serious feel of other Boyle productions. Brilliant and original film.

I...I honestly can't think of a way to describe how disturbing, gut-wrenching, and yet (forgive this pun) addicting Trainspotting is! This is the kind of movie I think kids should have to watch in high school, at least parts of it anyway. Just to show that drugs are evil, and despite all the allure and promise behind them, they will utterly ruin your life unless you get off them. This is the perfect movie to get that point across.

Brilliantly shot, written, and acted, being simultaneously bleak, energetic, brutal, and humorous, this manages to capture an incredibly vivacious feel despite its protagonist's stated opposition to life. It reminds me vaguely of a less structured Goodfellas or a less overwhelming Requiem for a Dream, with its ending falling ambiguously somewhere between the former's regretful farewell and the latter's anti-drug conclusion.

You know, before 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' came about, this was the most stylish way that the thinking man could show his kids, why they shouldn't do drugs. 'Trainspotting' still holds up today, and although Boyle can't really do endings, there's enough great stuff to have it be a runner up for best British film ever - first place belonging forever to 'Love Actually'. Kidding.

There's just something odd about the scene where Sick Boy explains his theory of life to Renton. I mean: it's basically Ewan McGregor being told "This is it, boy. This is the pinnacle of your career. It's all down hill from here" Other than that: great movie with a perfect cast. Not sure if this is one of the greatest anti-drug movies ever or greatest anti-modern life movies. It _does_ give me an irresistible urge to get shitfaced and listen to Underworld.

A 90 minute film that feels like it could have gone on for another 90, Trainspotting is a frenzied look into the life of a heroin user and his close friends. Boyle approaches the subject matter with no precision -- there's nothing he's trying to pinpoint here. It's a stylistic film with a bumpin' soundtrack and a fun cast of characters that range from very believable to straight-up caricature, and it all works.

Grit | 91 97% |

A carefully crafted film which strikes an emotional pipeline through constant turmoil as the main characters struggle to keep their heads above water while struggling to evade the ruthless pull of the drug founded underworld of Edinburgh. Boyle provides some great direction, backed up by some fantastic performances from a talented cast.

Some parts of it are really amateur and silly. Sure, it portraits drug addicts, but it fails to be an anti-drug film or even an apologetic film. Standing in the middle, it means nothing, and also, I have to say - infinitely overrated.

"I know people hate the English, but I doooon'! They're just wankers! WE'RE THE ONES WHO ARE BEING COLONIZED BY WANKERS!" If there ever was a perfect cast, this would be it. And to all you Boyle-haters out there, just watch this and feel free to apologize and redeem yourselves.

Great style and energy, and a really dark undertone that makes the movie both humorous and disturbing. This is the kind of film that really sticks with the viewer - a handful of key scenes will stay with me forever, I'm sure (toilet, baby, etc.). I also really love Ewen McGregor here. He's one of my favorite actors, and this is his best role. This is also Danny Boyle's best movie.

As everyone says, it flows nicely (or more appropriately, like a bat-out-of-hell), due to the cinematography, sure; the soundtrack, of course; but it's the ACTING that makes this great. All players perfectly capture the mood of a generation where everyone's right, therefore everyone's also wrong.

The only thing close to getting the sheer magic of Irvine Welsh's writing at his best on screen. Danny Boyle develops his rough style into a full, vibrant, kinetic film here - which never once patronizes over the subject matter, nor does it need to slow down to hammer home a point. Excellent performances from a great ensemble. I can't speak for how accurate the portrayal of heroin addiction is, but I know what it feels like to be Scottish. Of note is the brilliant editing - keeps you on edge.

At times comical, at other times brutally unpleasant, this film puts the mercurial life of drug addicts on full display. There are some Tarantino- or Ritchie-esque vignettes of high interest, including discussions of Sean Connery and Scottish angst, but there are relatively far between. I liked the acting, tonal shifts, and the occasional episodes of surreality, but I wish there was a little more of a narrative arc.

Fast, stylish and entertaining, "Trainspotting" doesn't pack the impact of "Requiem for a Dream" or the serious concerns of "Traffic" but it's still an essential piece of pop culture. Boyle, obviously influenced from De Palma and Tarantino, shows his knack for stylistic innovations and this results in what is probably the film's best sequence (the detox). It flows quickly, it's both amusing and horrific and while it doesn't make a huge statement on the subject, it's still a terrific film.

I've lost count how many times I've watched this film now.
The Harsh shocking reality of Danny Boyle's film adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh, was a controversial revolution at it's release and it still remains (in my opinion) the best film of it's genre, a timeless classic highlighting the problems of this huge epidemic.
The film that brought Ewin McGreggor to fame and by far his best performance to date. All the actors were cast extremely well included Carlyle's portrayal of 'Begs

Entertaining, silly and grand. It's shiny and dull at the same time and the camera work and soundtrack often threaten to steal the show but McGregor and company hold their own in the chaos. Carlyle shines.

TRAINSPOTTING belongs in that category of films I've been aware of since their release, yet have never seen. I wasn't let down. If nothing else, I'd have to give it props for (I would think) influencing Guy Ritchie, but then there's the hilarious/horrifying script, Danny Boyle's energetic direction, Ewan McGregor's marvelous performance (the whole cast is great), the wonderfully grimy production design, and the thrilling score. Only a lack of cohesion and a weak ending hamper it, but they do.

An intresting and at times beautiful treatise on human weakness, self-reflection, society's treatment of drugs and their users, Heroin, Scotland and the characters themselves. Fully fleshed out performances, a perfect soundtrack for the content, spot on cinematography and a baby on the ceiling make this Boyle's masterpiece.

Trainspotting is a timeless piece of British filmmaking and it remains Danny Boyle's finest work to date. As a shockingly immersive and heightened experience Trainspotting is beautifully shot, shamefully amusing and masterfully written by Danny Boyle. And the cast is one of my favourites with Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner & Robert Carlisle all giving career defining perfmances. And the soundtrack is special. Trainspotting is a grim and brutal watch, but it's essential viewing.

Boyle's group portrait of young Edinburgh deadbeats bound together by their addiction to heroin -- a junk bond, as it were. For all its visual flash and dash -- all its distorting lenses, freeze frames, fast-motion, and so forth; all its head-first dives into the rabbit hole (or in one particular instance, the toilet bowl) of fantasyland -- its storytelling method limps along on the crutch of first-person voice-over.

If Requiem For a Dream had been slightly funny and only 80 percent intelligible. Great energy and comedy to go along with some very heavy material in Boyle's first feature. Pretty impressive debut and one of the only Ewan McGregor films that I like.

Time has mellowed (somewhat) a once cutting-edge, landmark anti-drug film, but it still remains a gripping, visceral experience, and succeeds best in its depiction of the dreary day-to-day lives of its protagonists and the seductive escape that the world of heroin provides. Less successful is an overlong (and redundant) climactic plot thread involving drug smugglers, but it is refreshing to see a pre-Hollywood McGregor throwing his heart and soul into the seedy affair.

Arguably the greatest tale about the struggles of drug addiction ever filmed, Danny Boyle's Trainspotting is superb in every way. This one crosses every line to bring to life the impact of heroin abuse, not only on Renton but on those close to him as well. McGregor, Carlyle, Miller, and Bremner are absolutely fantastic in their roles and, the truth is, no review can ever do them justice. You have to see this to understand how good it is. Highly recommended.

Hodge's script is his usual wank, and it has that mid-'90s zeitgeist stink to it, but whatever, Danny Boyle can direct movies my goodness. He's done better later with worse scripts, but he's always fun to watch.

I liked how this movie focused on the madness of someone who is trying to go clean and all the obstacles that seem to get thrown in their way to stop them. It was easy to identify with his plight, whose depth goes further by giving him a voice and opinions and philosophy that further muddles the line between hero and chump.

Given my ranking history I usually tend to think films like this are overrated, but as much as I should hate this movie I don't. Through Danny Boyle's directing and John Hodge's adaptation, they've managed to craft a thoroughly compelling story. All of the actors (especially McGregor) are superb and the cinematography is top-notch. This one really surprised me.

It starts off on the right foot: humorous, quick-paced and wacky. It's not before long, though, that the viewer's interest starts to wane, mostly due to the uninteresting characters. On the plus side, McGregor shows signs of excellence.

Wow... just wow. The story is not much out of the average, but it is directed and put together so smoothly (although it looks random at the start) with such a good sound score it really does 3 things: messages a problem of your old habits not letting you go, portraying the youth social crysis in England and a really good "zeitgeist" effect (for me). Applause to casting as well, it really looks authentic.

Entertaining but unsubstantial and ultimately feels like a collection of unrelated scenes with not much progression in between. Taking on such a strong subject only to end up saying nothing at all seems a bit cowardly.

'Trainspotting' features strong performances, amazing music and a very particular mood, all of which make it almost impossible not to be affected by Boyle's take on drugs in Edinburgh.

Hits the ground running and doesn't stop. It's the kind of movie that everything happens. Hitchcock said drama is life with the dull bits cut out. This is like every excitement in a thousand lifetimes distilled into one potent experience. I can't believe that all of this happened in 94 minutes, it felt like 2 and a half, not because it was boring, but because so much happened. Magic.

Fairly full-on but an excellent film that has stood the test of time. Danny Boyle's directing is perfectly suited for this type of film and it appears to be cast really well. It has some of the most iconic moments in cinema history and whilst there probably has been better films since; this is still something to be cherished.

Comes a little too close to glorifying drug-induced hedonism, but Trainspotting saves itself eventually when it reveals its true satirical nature. Leans a bit too much on playful comedy and not enough on drama for me, but anyone who knows or has known people in real life that are like the characters in this movie understands the appeal. Turns out these guys aren't hip and cool, they're fucking losers.

Damn. Trainspotting is like Requiem for a Dream, but the feel-good director's cut. Trainspotting combines elements of drama, tragedy, comedy, and straight up horror, in one of the most refined pieces of cinema I've seen yet. It's raw, it's horrifying, and it's real, but I guess that's part of the... charm. It's tough to describe it. Just watch it.

Daring and dynamic: Death and drugs are depicted with mercilessly horrible bluntness (see the neglected baby) and potent editing (see the anxiety-filled withdrawal scene in Renton's bedroom), capturing well the tragedy and pain of addiction, while sub-plots with tamer bits of hedonism (see the outrageous aftermath of the three sex-capades) add unexpected comedy. Excellent existential ramblings a la Radiohead's "Fitter Happier" frame the story and add a mischievous ambiguity to its conclusion.

There's just some special thing about Trainspotting that makes it impossible to look away from. It's entertaining, inventive, and features some great performances by McGregor and Robert Carlyle. I'm still not entirely sure what the point of it all was, but I know that it was a fun ride. Kelly Macdonald, Ewen Bremner, and Jonny Lee Miller all turn in fine performances of their own, and there's some really cool cinematography and style choices. All in all, very worth a watch.

Does its job of showing the partying, free-spirit hook of the life of a group squatting drug addicts as well as the horrific side effects and unsavory people that come with living such a life. Ewan McGregor is unsympathetic but is still somehow a likable protagonist. It's an often ugly film but that's what brings the movie together.

This movie attempts to illustrates the crazy insanity of a heroin junkies' life. It tries to be balanced and show both the positive and negative sides of the story. The horror of the lifestyle is brought to stark realism in the scenes of the baby found dead from neglect. But the psychological impact is greatly diminished by its unrelenting upbeat approach to the telling of the story and side stepping the negative.

There aren't any heroines in this film, just heroin. Danny Boyle's very stylistic film about this drug taking over the lives of a group of friends in Scotland is a blast to watch. I was especially thrilled by Boyle's excellent pizzazz that the film brings. There are two scenes in particular that I love, when Ewan McGregor falls through the carpet... [Full Review]

"I'm no longer constipated." Trainspotting is a solid film all-around. The acting is spot on, the characters are well-developed, the story is an interesting drama with a nice sprinkle of funny moments throughout, and the soundtrack is outstanding. Ewan McGregor not only did an excellent job in his role as Mark Renton, but he also told the story well through his narration. There were some powerful scenes in this movie including withdrawal from heroin.

A roller-coaster of a story, with some highs (literally) and some rock-bottom lows. An iconic film which depicts the 90's, drugs, poverty, and youth - a dangerous cocktail. The message at the end in my view, is one that applies to all, and that is, that invariably, we get what we deserve.

One of the things I like about my favorite drug movie, Drugstore Cowboy, is that it doesn't wallow in the ugly side of addiction. Too much ugliness and things start to get absurdly preachy. Trainspotting admirably finds a middle ground. It does its share of wallowing but offsets it with a good sense of humor. The film is stylish and offbeat, and for the most part manages not to get too heavy-handed. Enjoyable and stimulating, but not engaging enough for me to come back to it.

As good an adaptation of a very difficult to film novel as we could get. Much of the bleakness, depravity, and unpleasantness of Welsh's book make it in here; fortunately so do the richly formed characters, the colourful dialogue and the moments of genuine comedy. McGregor excels as the (almost) sympathetic Renton, and Carlyle, cast very much against type at the time, is tremendous as hair-trigger psycho Begbie. It has real energy and style, but not at the expense of content. Great.

Iconic, disturbing and the very essence of the Brit pop era, this film exudes the 1990's with a cast with more talent than you can wave a stick at. Deeply troubling story line (in parts) and equally touching view of the descent of at least one of the central characters. An uncredited cast member is Edinburgh which is splendid througout.

The best Britsh film of the 1990's. Very funny, very nasty and brilliantly performed. Boyle didn't better it until "127 Hours" in my opinion.

An endlessly entertaining, unflinching, and innovative slice of life that has a permanent spot atop my favorites list. Cultivates an unforgettable look and sense of place that's totally essential to the movie, and manages to pull off its tricks without seeming gimmicky, thanks largely to the writing, with bounces back from postmodern pseudo-profundity to pop-culture banter with incredible facility. Ewan McGregor is plenty charismatic, but the many great supporting performances are where it's at.

Perhaps my favorite movie of all time. Now, if you're not the type who can appreciate a good drug movie, then this is emphatically: NOT FOR YOU. Great acting. Funny. Excellently dramatic (upon retrospect) in that it makes a statement about society/life in general. If you're reading this and you also liked it, please recommend me some similar titles, though I may have already seen them.

Over the top in places, and sometimes it needed subtitles, but I finally figured out the title, they just left out the middle part--Trainwreckspotting. You can't look away.

What makes this movie so great is how it balances things: realism and surealism, sweetness and rawness, affection and disgust... Also the acting and script is great.

I really enjoyed it when I knew what was going on. As much as they were faithful to the book with having so many characters damn near incomprehensible it did hinder my enjoyment a bit.

I was in the theater for like 40 minutes before I realized this wasn't one of those foreign flicks in a different language. Still couldn't understand a fuckin' word anyone said. But there was a baby on the ceiling, so that's always good.

If you hadn't been around during the 90's I would say this movie will not appeal to you. That said, if you were, it is one of the most culturally important movies to date. Aside from that, the story is fresh, it's interesting, and thrilling. Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, and Ewen Mcgregor are amazingly fantastic (and thus sparking their careers). Very few movies have captured a time and place like this one.

It's not often you see a decidedly original movie, that's also inherently watchable, and has sympathetic drug users. It introduced the audience to a number of novel movie elements, like the running introduction.

I must say that I was blown away by this movie. The direction of Danny Boyle is what makes this movie. The under text of the movie is presented very well. Acting is just amazing by every one of the actors. I dont believe the story was strong, but the vision of Danny Boyle makes this an amazing movie. The movie has its own style, a must watch for all.

Stylistically beautiful. Keeps you interested throughout the relatively short 90 min. Touches several topics without going very deep into any, but not every movie has to.
