Very much true to Welsh's vernacular than Trainspotting but it's a messy film. It perfectly encapsulates the book but I should imagine it would be best seen whilst on the same drugs as many of the characters.
Definitely worth a watch though. The director went on to make Gangster No. 1 and Lucky Number Slevin which are decent films too.
