Sorry to say as I am a huge fan of Irvine Welsh - this was utter shite. He should be embarrassed and pray that it disappears off the face of the planet. Don't waste 99 minutes of your life hoping it will get better - it won't.
An earlier review said that this was a great film in it's own right. I think they may have been on ecstasy at the time. This film was full of clichés, bad acting and predictable outcomes about an absolute loser. Don't know what age he was trying to play but a 40+ year old nightly pill popping clubber is a creepy loser and to be avoided. Yet despite that he managed to pull Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lane from Smallville). Ironically she leaves her rich handsome husband, as he is obviously evil, to take up with the jobless, pill dealing eejit. They then go clubbing each day for the next couple of weeks, popping pills and spending the day on a come-down wondering whether or not their love was real? Who cares, I was praying they popped some bad e to end this garbage.
As for Billy Boyd . . . His acting may have been great as he looked exactly like the scum you'd want to punch square in the face that neds about Glasgow's East end.
Bad characters, bad acting, bad storline. Irvine you should hang your head in shame - seen better high-school productions.
