The
Trainspotting
-like world that Rihanna inhabits is packed with enough debauchery to make Irvine Welsh proud. There is partying, raves, drugs, overdoses, sex, squalor, and a tattoo that will seem like really bad idea in a few days. At its core though, this is a surprisingly affecting love story, with a male lead who looks suspiciously like Chris Brown (at one point they shotgun cigarette smoke back and forth — gross). It’s the video that Rihanna famously got in a kerfuffle with a Northern Irish farmer over a topless scene. If "We Found Love" is something of a pastiche, it's an exhilarating one, and Rihanna pulls off what few other pop stars can: She pulls no punches.
