[MrBarlow]

Trainspotting 2. 2017

After running away with the money from the previous film, Mark Renton returns to Scotland, free of herion to catch up with his friends Daniel "Spud" Murphy, who is still an addict and decides to write his memoirs, Simon "Sick-Boy" Williamson who is running his aunt's pub and hoping to open a sauna/brothel for his Bulgarian girlfriend Veronika and Frances "Franco" Begbie who is in prison still angry that Renton took off with the money and vows revenge.

After so many years of the first movie sequels like this are a bit hazy but this does deliver a proper sequel.

There is still the comedy/drama element to it and the discussion of drug addiction to the attempt failed suicide and the notion of side effects of detox.

The plot of the movie does start off a bit slow but does build up quickly and at a good pace and Begbie's anger problem is still the same. Like the previous movie it has a great soundtrack that does blend well with the film. 8 out of 10.
