Customer Rating: 
Summary: heroin sitcom, with a liberal dose of horror thrown in
Comment: This is a story about a bunch of stupid losers, who have nothing at the center of their lives, so they became addicts, drunks, and thieves. What is amazing about it is how blackly funny they all are, as they dive into toilets, allow babies and friends to die, burst into violent rages, and seek some kind of fantastical out. The acting is so good that you can believe all of their chaotic lives that can go nowhere but down or prison. Will the narrator turn his life around with his latest scan and last chance? You assume so, but don't know.
Recommended. Cult classic. And that young Ian McGregor! First rate.

Summary: horribly good
Comment: This is a horribly amusing movie full of witty little lessons. I think it works wonders on curious teenagers. I saw this movie at a critical time in my life and after seeing it there is no way in hell I would ever willingly get hooked on anything except life. Some people are disgusted by this movie because of what drugs are shown to do but truly this is just a drop in the ocean. This will be in my top ten for the forseeable future.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Certainly a classical insight into addiction
Comment: Having witnessed many forms of addiction throughout my life, I have to say, this film excellently portrays the sorts of lives addicts lead and the challenges they face. It's unusual mix of horror and humor make it difficult to classify, but its storyline and characterizations are heavily engrossing and keep you glued throughout. In a way, you participate in your own "trip" as you identify with the characters and follow their exploits, like a joyride into another life. Certainly this is great film making.

Summary: interesting
Comment: i wasn't old enough to know this existed when it came out, but after hearing some good things about it i gave it a shot, and it was a pretty good film. i can see how it could have a cultish affect on people, it's one of those films.
it's about this guy who's a heroine addict and how he struggles with his addiction, but it isn't a depressing movie. it can be kind of funny, a sick kind of funny. it isn't a movie about how drugs are bad and how they can destroy your family and mess up your life, just about how they can mess up your life. and this is passed off as both something to pity and something to laugh at... but it is also not a light hearted movie fluffing off the issue. it is a raw look at the life of a guy who goes in and out of heroine addictions.. but doesn't really care. in his eyes it's just another aspect of his life at the moment. worth the watch.
Customer Rating:
Summary: You definately want to stay off drugs after this movie!
Comment: WOW!!!! If you ever think about getting hooked on heroin watch this movie first!!! You will appreciated your (regular & boring) life so much after this movie that you definately don't want to get into drugs! I think that is is the BEST Drug Prevention movie ever made!!!!!!
Very harsh, very true, very good!!!!

From the director of 28 DAYS LATER ... The motion picture sensation that wowed critics and audiences nationwide, TRAINSPOTTING delivers a wild mix of rebellious action and wicked humor! It's the story of four friends as they try to make it in the world on their own terms ... and who end up planning the ultimate scam! Powered by an outstanding cast of stars including Ewan McGregor (BIG FISH, STAR WARS EPISODES I, II & III) Robert Carlyle (THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, THE FULL MONTY) and Jonny Lee Miller (DRACULA 2000, MANSFIELD PARK), and a high-energy soundtrack, TRAINSPOTTING is spectacular, groundbreaking entertainment!
