Trance Review
As someone who watches a lot of movies, I tend to get really excited about movies way before the general public even have it on their radar. And then there are the films that I get excited about that pretty much no one else wants to see, or really gets the opportunity to: this is one of those films. Even though it was directed by Danny Boyle, it didn’t get much advertizing, and was a limited release. So those of us who knew about it couldn’t even see it. It took a lot of effort, and a lot of searching for me to even see it. And let me tell you: it was well worth it.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Danny Boyle (read: dead to me), he is the director of a bunch of great movies like: Slumdog Millionaire, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 127 Hours, 28 Days Later, and (my personal favorite) Sunshine. I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since I saw Trainspotting back in high school, so I’ve always gotten really excited about his new movies. Trance was especially exciting because, after 13 years apart, Boyle was finally reuniting with John Hodge (who previously wrote Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, and a couple lesser known Boyle films.) Add James McAvoy (one seriously underrated actor) into the mix, and you get the makings of a great film.
