Plot Summary
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose…TRAINSPOTTING. Director Danny Boyle (127 HOURS, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) thrills in this "original, daring" (Salon.com) tale of a group of young drug addicts wheeling through blue collar Edinburgh that earned an Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay. Starring Ewan McGregor (MOULIN ROUGE!) in an unforgettable breakthrough performance, TRAINSPOTTING electrified audiences and critics with its hilariously dark humor, stunning visuals and sharp honest take on both the exhilarating highs, and the terrifying lows, of addiction.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: For better or worse, sometimes strictly for the sake of shock value, the stylish irreverence of "Trainspotting" mimics that drug high and delivers its own potent kick.
Fresh: Trainspotting is a singular sensation, a visionary knockout spiked with insight, wild invention and outrageous wit.
Fresh: ...rapid-fire youth-culture freak show: random sex, in-your-face scatology, senseless violence and rampant profanity delivered in haggis-thick brogues.
Fresh: Exuberant and pitiless, profane yet eloquent, flush with the ability to create laughter out of unspeakable situations, "Trainspotting" is a drop-dead look at a dead-end lifestyle that has all the strength of its considerable contradictions.
