Twenty years have passed since Ewan McGregor’s character ran off with the haul from the quartet’s heist in the original. He returns to make amends and catch up with the gang. Much hasn’t changed for them or for director Danny Boyle. He still crams the film full of vibrant imagery, flashy editing, a pounding soundtrack and mildly extreme moments. (The Scottish accents are still sometimes hard to crack.) Flashbacks from the original add poignant moments, but the guys are as spunky as ever. There’s not a lot of plot…just interactions between them, but it still holds up as a flashy cinematic reunion.
