A grisly black comedy thriller, made with great flair by the makers of Trainspotting. Flatmates Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston and Ewan McGregor delight in taking the rise out of prospective flatmates and humiliating them. They let the fourth room to creepy Keith Allen, who dies of a drug overdose, leaving a suitcase full of money behind... Despite some fresh and funny dialogue, the plot soon boils down to the old thieves-fall-out syndrome, but the acting and especially Danny Boyle's lively direction gives it real class and, for once, there's a satisfying finish. A good showcase for young McGregor and his mum Carol has a cameo as one of the prospective flatmates. Although set in Edinburgh, most of the film's shot in Glasgow!
