Chicago Reader review:
Danny Boyle's second feature (1996), a lot more stylish and entertaining than Shallow Grave.
Far from nihilistic, though certainly calculated to butt up against
various puritanical norms, this feel-good jaunt about young Scottish
heroin addicts and their degradation and betrayals of one another draws a
lot of its energy from Richard Lester movies of the 60s and 70s and
from A Clockwork Orange (the novel as well as the movie). Adapted
by John Hodge from Irvine Welsh's popular pidgin-English novel (which
had already been successfully adapted for the stage) and partially
redubbed for American ears, it floats by almost as episodically as 94
minutes of MTV.
