Rating: 2.5/5 -- One gets the feeling this director doesn't think his target audience is all that smart. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- There's referencing and then there's photocopying, and Ecstasy screams "toner low". Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- In the end, ECSTASY wants to have it both ways -- drugs are celebrated at the beginning of the film, and condemned -- or at least the crime connected with them is - by the end.

A crass and shallow exploration of a potentially interesting topic, which makes for one downer of a cinematic trip. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Not so much chemical romance as serious downer, it all seems so old. Full Review
Time Out
Apr 20, 2012
A drug-fueled landscape impacted by the Thatcher years, characterized by Scottish working class misery and massive unemployment feeding the underground drug economy. And reflecting Welsh's own conflicting personas as cult figure, pariah and antichrist. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Ecstasy is to ecstasy what Trainspotting was to heroin. Different times, different drugs, but the Scotland-set story of addiction and redemption is pretty much the same. Full Review

Product Description:

A bored housewife falls for a drug smuggling addict who attempts to turn his life around following one particularly harrowing experience. Based on the book by TRAINSPOTTING author Irvine Welsh, ECSTACY tells the story of Heather (Kristin Kreuk), a middle class woman who seeks genuine excitement after creaking free from her passionless marriage. When Heather meets Lloyd (Adam Sinclair), her life begins to change in ways she never thought possible. As the two lovers begin to lose themselves in a blurry haze of substance-enhanced passion, however, Heather begins to wonder if Lloyd would still love her if he were clean and sober. The answer to that question comes when Lloyd experiences a close brush with death during a deal gone awry, and quickly decides to abandon his life of crime in favor of building a brighter future with Heather.
