I have one word for this movie: Disgusting. Everything about this movie was disgusting. The living quarters, the people, the story, etc. Trainspotting is about Renton (Ewan McGregor) who is caught up in a world full of drugs. He wants to quit, but his friends and the lifestyle just pull him back in again and again. So for the most part, it’s him sober, him high, him sober, him high, and so on and so forth. It got really old really quick.

Honestly, I don’t know what else to say about this movie. I couldn’t handle it, though I’m sure that it captured to book well and how life is when you’re addicted to heroin (I wouldn’t know, but it can’t be pleasant and not disgusting). I’m going to keep this one short. Hated It. (0/5)
