Ecstasy (II) (2011)
9/10
Ecstasy rocks

Warning: Spoilers
A little romance, a little social commentary, some decent laughs and uniformly great performances make Ecstasy well worth a look. Director Heydon has a deft hand with the camera as well as the actors, and the pace never lets up.

Adam Sinclair, Kirsten Kreuk and Billy Boyd head up a strong cast, but make a special point of catching Carlo Rota as the bad guy. Awesome.

The city of Edinburgh looks stunning in it's grittiness (and it's age old beauty) as we follow the raves, the drug deals, and the inevitable confrontations. (You'd never know it was largely shot in Canada).

Ecstasy is more than a worth successor to Trainspotting, and I'm sure Irvine Welch is proud.
