This film has got to be the greatest film I have ever seen. The book was fascinating and the film does a terrific job in portraying the true lives of close friends that are heroin addicts. EWAN McGREGOR plays the quirky Mark Renton and fabulously shows the struggles of his character's life from addicted to heroin through the trials of life and into his fight to get clean. This is the greatest film to date, though a little different from most, it's truth and style will stick in the mind of those who view this true masterpiece by the unique director DANNY BOYLE.
