Instant classic movie, from the soundtrack to the cinematography. It's already a cult flick and quite deservingly so.

The film depicts the life of a few Glaswegians with a heroine habit. Pretty serious stuff. With the scenes of the injections to the tragedy in the middle, the topic covered are quite heavy and not something to take lightly. But that is precisely what Danny Boyle and the author Irwin Welsh has done. The art is to take a serious subject and without making it trivial, make the subject approachable and thereby reach out the message.

The casting was quite brilliant and from Ewan MacGregor to Robert Carlisle to Johnny Lee Miller; these are real actors.

The question is what do you remember after the movie is over. I, for one, remember the humour first and then afterwards, the awful state of affairs.

The film does not glamourise drugs or the culture. Those who do either didn't see the movie or thought that Rambo made killing seem good and fun!

Interesting idea. I really enjoyed the film, actually, I really really enjoyed it. I was not sure what to expect but was extremely surprised.

The cast was very good even though Josh Hartnett was a bit strange in choice to me. His accent was nearly very good. I do enjoy it when well known stars make small films. Alan Rickman was as deadpan as ever, wonderful.

It is almost typical to find these bizarre styles of films to come from UK (see Full Monty, Trainspotting). I do think the success of this film was the fact that it was not particularly commercial. Another Indie success.

Will suspect that this may become a cult film.

What a great great series. You know, there has never been anything like this and I don't think there ever will.

If I were to have been told about the project, I don't think I would have known what to expect. Imagine what the original script must have been like. With the finished product like this, imagine the creative process!!

But seriously, this is a unique product. I am not sure what these guys are on but it sure works.

The base of this series is that we all have our version of Royston Valley. The fact that it is a horrible place and the perfect setting for a horror story. To make it a comedy is a work of genius. It is one of the few programs that I can watch again and again.
