At long last, the Director's Cut comes to the US,
By
This review is from: Trainspotting (DVD)
For some reason, the 2-disc set released in the states on June 1 features the same artwork as the previous US release - yet all the animated menus still read "Definitive Edition" as in the U.K. release. Oh well... For those of us who've been waiting since 1997 for a comprehensive, worthy DVD of Trainspotting will finally get what they've been waiting for. All nine deleted scenes, commentary, a "making-of" dohicky, and interviews with the cast (as well as Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn) are included. Trainspotting fans rejoice at last! One of the best movies of the 90's is finally brought to home video justice.

Great movie...mediocre blu-ray...,
By
This review is from: Trainspotting [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
"Trainspotting"(1996) is directed by Danny Boyle (Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire). The film follows the lives of various friends who are all trapped in the world of drugs abuse. The film is hilariously conceived with the friends showing the degrees to which they are willing to go in order to support their addictions. Hallucinations abound with Mark (Ewan McGregor) diving into toilets for his stash, or seeing babies crawling on ceilings. Even though the film is generally very upbeat, and frenetic, there is always lurking around the corner the dark side of these individuals' lives.
This particular blu-ray is a bit disappointing, if only because it is barebones. There are zero special features, and the film has not been remastered. Even though the blu-ray image quality is sharper than the DVD there really isn't a big improvement over the DVD version in this case.

Just to Clarify..........,
By acstewart (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trainspotting (DVD)
Just read around 5 or 6 of the reviews below, as somebody else noted: this film IS SET IN EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND! Not Ireland and most definatley not England. Somebody else had written "...in its homeland of England....". This would completeley misrepresent the film. Also, Trainspotting does not mean Heroin, Trainspotting is the title as it represents the pointlessness of taking heroin just as writing down a load of train numbers.
Rant over. Quality film, buy it or rent it!
