trainspotting

Advantages: characters, cast, fantastic storyline
Disadvantages: needs to be watched more than once to appreciate it

i was a trainspotting virgin until this was given to me as a gift. I thought it was a fantastic film the first time i saw it, but the more i watch it the better it gets and as an avid dvd watcher i would definately rate it in my top five films of all time! an adaptation of an Irvine welsh classic novel, takes shape in the murky, filthy underworld of scotlands capital city edinburgh. The main character renton in his journey through friendship addiction ...
...leads you to believe that you could actually meet these same people on the streets of edinburgh,all producing great performances and all seem to work perfectly in what must be a tough role to play!!.Having said all this it needs to be watched more than once to appreciate the greatness of this film, those quick to write it off will be missing out on a classic . The soundtrack, the characters and the setting all gel together perfectly to make this ...
