First off, it must be mentioned that this is a very explicit film that would probably have been better rated NC-17. Aside from the graphic heroin use, there's profuse swearing, nudity, and violence. The film is about the camaraderie among a motley group of heroin addicts as Mark Renton (McGregor) tries to beat the habit. His story is told in a very realistic yet stylized way, similar to 'A Clockwork Orange'. The film is full of a lot of completely hilarious moments with very tragic moments spliced in. I think it's a 'Generational Film' that captures the sense of lower-class meaninglessness and hedonism of the early 90s the same way Easy Rider captured the 60s. It's definately worth seeing.
This movie is a favorite of mine. The acting is superb and the Soundtrack is amazing. I watched this movie in my youth and it quickly became an all time favorite to me. It's based on the book by Irvine Welsh and quickly grabs your attention. I will tell you that it's pretty graphic and shows intense drug use as well as other disturbing scenes that stem from the characters being heroin users. I hope you find it as entertaining as I did.

Most of it plays fine but it's a bit skippy at the beginning. I had to try it on a couple of different devices to get it to play past the menu at all.
