Trainspotting Review

Trainspotting came out in 1996 and was directed by the ever-shameless Danny Boyle. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Drug Comedy" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 322 diseased viewers just like you weighed in on Trainspotting. 190 of 'em thought it was great! 132 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Dave's Review

This movie gives a person a good reason to stay off of drugs. Good for laughs.

Jim's Review

This movie is less about the plot and more about developing a face for the junkies in movies - something which has not really been done before. I really enjoyed this film. It manages to be depraved and funny at the same time - and that's probably not particularly healthy but it's fun.

Jim broke it down like so: Technology: 0 Action: 6 Nudity: 3 Coolness: 9 Badguys: 5 Gore: 3 Shock: 6 Dialog: 9 Post-Nuke?: N Music: 8 Plot: 6 Length: Short Overall: 8
