I think others have already reviewed this film to a much higher standard than i ever could.
So i will only quote from something Ewan McGregor says on the DVD extras of "Young Adam":
He says he wanted to go back to his roots, back to "Trainspotting" and "Shallow Grave" and to make a low budget, but intensely well written, British, film which would be loved and hated for the very same reasons. He has done just that.
This film took 7 weeks to film. Most directors couldn't have produced something like this in 7 years.
