One of my all time favorites.

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Billy Boyd playing DJ 'Woodsy' yells that immortal line while in hospital as nurses try to give him some of their sedatives.I quite liked this film and its underrated because the acting and script are pretty good. Adapted from a book by famous novelist Irvine Welsh, this film is about the ecstasy culture of the 90's. There have been a few films which capture dance club scene better than this, but in my opinion this is still a good film and its more than just about getting high. Its about love and death and family and friends.Adam Sinclair (Lloyd) and Kristin Kreuk (Heather) are the lead actors and their relationship forms the heart of the movie. Its actually quite difficult show a believable love story. Its so easy to get it wrong. This pair did a good job. The club scenes were pretty good and I generally liked the soundtrack, and it captured the party drug taking well.I liked the fact that the actors and script didn't elevate the characters into anything other than just ordinary people. Lloyd doesn't have job and Heather is unhappily married and works for the anti-narcotics association whilst raving at weekend. Yes that put a wry smile on my face! There are extraordinary people around them (gangsters) and drug trafficking storyline to keep story interesting but basically this is a romance with some drugs thrown in. Its the love drug vs the real thing sort of story. 6/10

A favorite film... this is a film about drugs, but not only about drugs. It's a wonderful little surprise film about a beautiful love story, and redemption ("I don't want to be with you forever... I need to be with you forever."). The leads are marvelous together. Kristin Kreuk is a superb young actor, and a dream girl .. bit.ly/11dIBrp .. The entire cast is absolutely perfect. This is a terrific non-Hollywood film with few, if any flaws. And with a great film ending music track 'Movin On Up' by Primal Scream .. bit.ly/zvzqcK .. Am so glad decided to ignore the original rating numbers (and followed Kristin), it is SO much better than that (as evidenced by the fact it keeps creeping up in the ratings).

I recently spent a month in bed due to surgery and was desperate for entertainment of any kind. My wife and I sat down to watch this flick and from the beginning it had ominous tones of wasting my time. All along I was trying to escape the feeling that this movie was written on-the-fly by a pair of 7 year olds trying to impress their families at a reunion.I am desperate to think of something positive to say! The sound quality was atrocious, sets were clutter and noise, all the characters felt wooden and dead. I have been impressed by Billy Boyd in the past but he was not able to overcome the writing, Kristin Kreuk is just name-important enough that she was wasted, and Adam Sinclair should consider roles that do not require acting skills.

A "must see" film not only for entertainment value, wondering what is going to happen next, but a look into Irvine Welsh's world one may not be familiar with. The chemistry amongst the cast, especially between the leads, Adam Sinclair (Lloyd) and Kristin Kreuk (Heather), was heartfelt and real... anyone can relate to one character or another at some point, it truly hit home. Billy Boyd (Woodsy) performs an impromptu array of genius; while Carlo Rota's (Solo) performance can do no wrong, even as the bad guy. Most people who have seen the pre-theater screenings conclude that the cinematography was authentic and breathtaking and draws you in to be a part of the scene. As well, the soundtrack featuring Cold Play, Primal Scream, the Mahones, in addition to the dance music with performances by Tiesto, Orbital and Bedrock, displays perfect timing and are excellent!
