Trainspotting is another landmark film, one of the truly great 'great' British films of the
nineties. Where 'Brassed off' and 'The full monty' were hyped-up so much so that
they ultimately disappointed, this film is worth all the plaudits. Ok, so it is grim, and it
centres on a bunch of junkies, but contrary to what some critics have said, it does
not advertise heroin as such, rather that there can always be light at the end of the
tunnel, no matter how low you are. Acting is excellent, with Ewan Macgregor shining
throughout, and there is also plenty of dark humour.
