Whereas the two cities in the Central Lowlands of Scotland had Trainspotting, then Wales's second city of Swansea had Twin Town. It's own director Kevin Allen had a bit part in Trainspotting and Twin Town was his attempts to bring the former into Ugly City-Lovely City (a
reference by Dylan Thomas). This film looked to be promising with the locals but the cinema regulars claim it not be good because it contains too much bad language but as the hit movie Trainspotting is included with swear words, then they have not seen the latter.
The plots and dialogues of Twin Town are quite acceptable but it's success is no match for Trainspotting. Rhys Ifans & Co delivers some excellent performances throughout the film's length. There's some insights of seedy scenes included and driving stolen cars for the reel streets locations around that era certainly had a high rate of car crime. Overall, it's not too bad a film. It certainly does have local cult following.
