“Let’s work the problem people. Let’s not make things worse by guessing.”
Trainspotting (1996)
There is nothing safe about Trainspotting. It doesn’t have the polished gangster charm of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or the gentle romance of a Notting Hill. Instead, it’s the desperate rush of living day to day. The most pressing part of Mark Renton’s life isn’t paying the bills, it’s choosing whether to shoot up or quit, to pick his friends or pick himself. It’s stolen TVs, half-baked schemes, and a best mate so violent you might not make it out of the pub unscathed.
