Oh no... a sequel to Trainspotting!

...I thought, on discovering this follow up to the quintessential mid nineties brit-pop era brit-flick defining movie masterpiece, but now having seen it (there was nothing else on telly), I am very very pleasantly surprised.

While there are of course, allusions to the original, it is a clear progression of that story, and feels just like a continuation of it, while having many of of it's own original elements, to make it work on it's own (not just relive old glories).

Mark Renton's life has hit the buffers since running away with the cash he stole from his friends last time we saw him, and has returned home to face the music.

Finding his old friends either having grown up and moved on... or refused to do so in some cases!

Begbie is in prison, but not for long if he has anything to do with it, and he's after Mark with a genuine vengeance.

So it's a reckoning for the events of the original, just as it is set in the context of melancholic nostalgia for the past, and being psychologically stuck there... while trying to move on.

(I'm sure nobody on this site recognises those themes! :)

Danny Boyle brings his fresh, snappy, and innovative directing style to the mix, to make a worthy Part II.
