if you are the kind of optimistic guy and you don`t share the kind of nihilistic mood of the 90s, maybe you can be disappointed from this material from the creator of that 90s milestone: "trainspotting". While "Trainspotting" offers hope and if you are the kind of optimistic guy and you don`t share the kind of nihilistic mood of the 90s, maybe you can be disappointed from this material from the creator of that 90s milestone: "trainspotting". While "Trainspotting" offers hope and redemption with a woderful sense of humor and no chance for kirtsch and corny, this awful filme doesn`t offer anything. For those who loved tha boyle filme, this material (from this intrascendent mcguigan) is gonna be like mediocre filmmaking and poorly provocative material. Trying to be a comedy, this exercise of repulsion, pathetism, bad technique and "hilarious" scenes is no more than a bad film surrounded by the "prestige" of the writer. We know, now, that "trainspotting" was a fluke of Irvine Welsh but a great filme of Danny Boyle. "The acid house" is just a lack: of a mature writer, a disciplined director and, above all, a spark of talent. Expand
