City of Industry swims in themes of emptiness and corruption, no frills attached, with an intentionally unsatisfying pay off at the end.

Trainspotting – Review

They run from the cops. They shoot up. They shoot up again. Someone dives into a toilet. Iggy Pop and Sean Connery figure in somewhere. It’s great.

April 1, 1997

The film is filled with action although everything gets a little hectic and messy at times. But if car crashes, bloody fights, and a few mild cases of death turn you on, Blood and Wine is your cup of tea.
