T2 Trainspotting

Synopsis

It's been 20 years since heroin addict Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) ripped off his lowlife friends and fled to Amsterdam with all the proceeds from a drug deal. Now clean, he returns to Edinburgh to make amends but finds that little has changed. Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) is living dangerously as a blackmailer. Spud (Ewen Bremner) is the hapless, unemployable junkie he always was. And Frank Begbie (Robert Carlisle) is still a raging psychopath to be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, he's just broken out of prison and is not about to let auld acquaintance be forgot. Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge tap the same bleakly, blackly comic vein as their 1996 cult classic for a fast and furiously nihilistic nostalgia rush.
