CGiii Comment

McGuigan's debut and he certainly put together a film that, possibly, for all the wrong reasons, drew a huge amount of attention.

Three stories propelled by octane - the third is an absolute train wreck.

Horrible.

Three twisted tales from the seamy side of Scotland and the mind of Irvine Welsh. The Granton Star Cause: All in one day a young Leith lad is dumped by his football team, his girlfriend. and his parents; arrested and beaten up by the police; and turned into a fly by God, whom he meets in a pub. The Soft Touch: A man is too soft to do anything when his wife moves in with the thug upstairs. The Acid House: While tripping on acid, Coco Bryce is struck by lightning, which makes him switch bodies with a newborn baby.
