The cast and director of one of the groundbreaking indie films of the nineties Trainspotting reunite for the sequel that absolutely no one asked for but since there's already one then it's worth a look. After the first film, it's director Danny Boyle became an Academy Award winner thanks to 2008's Slumdog Millionaire, it's lead actor Ewan McGregor a global superstar and Jonny Lee Miller tabloid fodder thanks to his short lived marriage to Angelina Jolie.
When Renton (McGregor) goes back home to Edinburgh to reconnect with his old chums Spud (Ewen Bremmer) whose life is still in turmoil and Sick Boy (Miller) who now runs a prostitution and blackmail ring with partner Veronika (cast newbie Anjela Nedyalkova) , he got more than what he expected when Begbie (Robert Carlyle) unexpectedly shows up to settle some score.
Boyle based the sequel from the original Trainspotting book by Irvine Welsh as well as it's follow up Porno. It doesn't do any justice since the film shows lack of coherence. But in signature style of the director, the brilliant shots and editing are there as well as outstanding music.
If you are a fan of the first film then by all means watch T2. It's such a marvel seeing the same cast do it of their love and gratitude from now classic movie.
Just don't have any high expectations.
