In Edinburgh, Bruce Robertson, a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. As he turns his colleagues against one another by exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control.
Is there a better anti-hero than a debauched detective? This adaptation from the best-selling novel by Irvine Welsh, the notorious Scottish writer of Trainspotting, is restless, dark, and witty. James McAvoy is magnificently disturbing as he pushes the limits of this abusive character.
