The reunion of the four friends 20 years after the events of Trainspotting.
A clever sequel to a cult film. It will probably not stand the test of time as its predecessor did, but as a 20 years later sequel, the story makes sense, is consistent, the character development feels natural, the nostalgia is well placed, the incomplete maturity of the characters and their lack of control over their own fate is perfectly plausible and justifiable. The humor is ever so present, even through the filter of the quasi sadness caused the passage of time and the loss of the youth years and possibilities. Fair and completely lacking any dull moments, T2 is a worthy follow up.
