Like most of his friends Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug s blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Renton s two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond and Spud (Ewan Bremner) a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Herman s debauched cousin. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle) a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law Renton kicks heroin and moves to London where he finds a job a flat and something close to peace of mind. However Sick Boy Begbie and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score leading Renton back into drugs and crime. Mark Deming Rovi.
