Mark Renton (Ross Costigan) attempts to go cold turkey to beat his heroin addictions. But the withdrawals send him spiralling towards sweaty encounters with auld boots, Mikey Forrester and the worst toilet in Scotland. All for one more hit.
holy SHIT, what a godawful performance as the rent boy! his enthusiastic tone while going over his list of withdrawal aids, like some sort of fucking salesman cheerfully pointing out a product to a prospective buyer, is totally out of character and against the entire feel of the scene. these guys should not have tried to tackle a work that is so obviously beyond their talents. not saying that they're bad actors, but they're definitely NOT the right actors to pull off trainspotting properly.
