I really have no complaints about this film. It stars several unknown British actors, who all talk cool, and tells a story of a few guys trying, not very hard, to quit heroine. Though sometimes hard to understand, the dialogue is generally good, and it is followed by very good acting. The thing I best liked about this movie were some of the great camera techniques used during the heroine and the withdrawal scenes. There is one part in particular where the main character, Marc, is suffering withdrawal, and I, quite frankly, was scared of some of the things onscreen. Dead babies on ceilings, guys in chains....eerie stuff. Things to watch for: Excessive male full frontal nudity, a guy digging around, then swimming in "the worst toilet in scotland", and this crazy old guy who gets in fights. I would see this movie if I were you, it was well worth the seven bucks.
